The animals ask you to energetically spring clean your house

​Springtime is here in the Pacific Northwest. Flowers are pushing up through the soil and tree buds are opening in an explosive celebration.  The sun is gracing us with longer and warmer days. And the birds are busy with their springtime nest building as well as nest protection.

Yesterday in two different encounters I witnessed the fierce protection of nests from predators.  The first was a hummingbird who was diligent and very aggressive at driving off a crow from hungrily raiding her nest. After the crow flew off she went up and down the tree securing the area. The second was at the Heron Rookery where over 20 nests are high in the tree tops with pairs of Heron’s tending to each nest.  A juvenile eagle stopped in for a snack and the red alert screeches called all herons to come back to the rookery to defend.  The young eagle was perched on a branch with six nests within a ten foot circle around him and  at least eight angry herons screeching and darting at him with their sharp beaks to drive him off.  He made one last unsuccessful  attempt at snagging a little one before he flew off.  The rookery slowly settled down to peace and quiet returning to gentle exchange of twigs by the pairs to add to the nest as they were rocked by the swaying trees. 

This energy in the natural world matches the advice from companion animals that it's time to physically and energetically spring clean the house (nest)  driving out anything that is invading the space.
 
We all have spent an abundance of time in our houses over the last year bringing both work, school and family members constantly in the space. There has been a lot of energy in the house and it has been piling up.  The animals report that old energy settles into piles on the floor and lurks in corners and is to be avoided  lIke a guest who has overstayed their welcome.  To them old stuck energy feels heavy and like walking in mud. 

One powerful way to clear the energy out is by using intention.  Energy flows where intention and attention goes.  So while you are physically cleaning the house - choose an energetic intention that you want the house to hold, to feel like, to orient to.  The intention then informs the energy in the house to resonate to. Speak the intention out loud while cleaning.  You may be surprised how your attention is drawn to clean areas that may have been ignored.  This is because the energy in that item, that corner etc does not match the new intention.

The animals suggest to keep the intention simple and concise  two or three other words in addition to Love and Harmony..  For example the intention for my home is: Love, Harmony, Clear Communication, and Relaxation

 If you are not physically cleaning and just want to set a new intention and clear the energy there are many ways. The easiest way is to be like the hummingbird or the herons  diligently  driving out the old energy.  Open the windows and the doors let the air in, go room by room declaring the new intention and assisting the old energy out the window by swooshing it with your arms. 

The animals thank you in advance for doing this and encourage you to do it often.  Allow yourself to settle and relax into the new intention and the energetically clean home just like how the heron rookery settled down after the eagle flew off.
