How to Cleanse an Apartment
Moving can be an exciting time, but when you move into an apartment, this is a new place for you, not a new space in general. Those who believe that energy, either positive or negative, can remain in a space after the previous occupants leave might want to cleanse the apartment. This will give the space a neutral energy that allows you to make it all your own, removing any blocks that might exist because of emotional or traumatic energies left behind. Just as you don't want previous tenants' dirt, you don't want their dirty energy. Does this Spark an idea?
