Good Greetings to all! Here at the Fairy Farm, Life is in full bloom! This is the perfect time of the Year to do a Real Clean-out and Clearing of our Dwelling Places-- any time that you are feeling crowded and like there is no room for you-- it is time to Clean Up and Clear Out!
In this installment Fairy Farm Girl and l will speak to Cleaning up and clearing out our dwelling place.
A Dwelling is where you live--- a shelter. We are of a wide and diverse human family... There are as many dwellings as there are people. All dwellings do have a door and perhaps a window. A roof, floor, walls. This is the structure that houses and individual(s) and any stuff that the individual(s)have.
Stuff can accumulate Energetically and Physically in your dwelling space. Energy that is directed is sticky. Energy by itself is simply Energy. It is what Energy is programmed to do that it becomes sticky-- or fluid--
Fear Attributes make it sticky and icky and contracting.
And
Love Attributes make Energy Fluid and Supportive.
Energetically stuff accumulates on the psychic/energetic level and above. It is an etheric crowding out of you who occupies your dwelling. Ever feel as if you were in a crowded room and it appeared to be physically empty? This is the type of Clearing Out that Fairy Farm Girl is speaking of. The Clearing out of energies that no longer serve the level of expansion you are .
Note: The level of expansion you are at is perfect fore it is your level of expansion.
Cleaning out is a physical process of sorting and moving that which is no longer needed out of your place. This is a process of letting go of accumulated stuff. It is a process of physically cleaning the space.
Let's begin with Cleaning out the Dwelling Place according to the Fairy Farm Girl Method.

Let's begin with Cleaning out the Dwelling Place according to the Fairy Farm Girl Method.
This is Fairy Farm Girl's method... take what resonates and leave the rest.
The process consists of removing items that are no longer needed and then giving a really good Cleaning up. Stuff that is crowding out your dwelling space-- perhaps can be be repatriated to a new place and a new use.
Fairy Farm Girl suggests taking a large container (box, bag,suitcase etc.) and placing all items in it that you have not thought about in a year: this means everything that you have not thought of in year or are surprised to find that you have. Begin at the top floor within the closets and work outwards and downwards until you reach the basement. You will more than likely fill your container to go through more than once. When the box is full, take a Break and sort the items into categories.

Note: This section if for those who are crowded with material things... if you already do this... Terrific! If you aspire to live simply and already do so--Great! The next section on energetically clearing your space may be of interest.
Keep and use
These are items that you intend to really use.
Donate
These are items that have not seen the light of day since the day you stuck them in that closet/box/trunk/room/space under the furniture. These are items to donate to a good cause. Consider thinning your closet to be a religious experience as well as a cleansing one too.
Recycle
All those returnables and recyclables piled up everywhere--yep, it is time to take them to the transfer station, recycle bin and/or redemption center.
Throw out
That smell under the bed... throw it out! Anything that is growing mold or mildew or smells so bad that it is not cleanable needs to be disposed of properly. Broken things that are not recyclable fit in this category. If you have not fixed it in the years you have been saying that you are going to fix that... then it is time to throw it out. Check with your local transfer station (aka town dump) for a list of what to do.
Compost
If you have the pleasure of space to compost this is for you-- Compost all those dried up and dead house plants if they have not come back from the dead yet... they are not going to. Compost all compostable foods from the nether-regions of the fridge and freezer that are not meat based. Eggs and egg shells are good for the compost! If it is back there and has not seen the light of day in a while chances are it is time to compost it. The container that holds the questionable food is more than likely recyclable. Give the transfer station people a break and wash your containers with soap and water. Consider it an act of kindness.
The next step is to now put all those things in their proper spaces. Take away the recyclables. Remove the stuff you plan to donate from your dwelling space. Send the stuff you are throwing out to the transfer station or put it in a proper container at the curb for pickup. Place all that is to be composted in the compost pile or composter.

NOTE: Always Label all cleansers appropriately with a permanent marker. Although these cleansers are Earth and Human friendly-- they are to be used by adults not children.
Fairy Farm Girl Dwelling Cleanser
Ingredients/Tools: Cider Vinegar (raw preferred), water, Essential oil (mint or lemon preferred) Spray bottle
Method: Fill clean spray bottle 1/4 way full with cider vinegar. Add Water to fill to the top of the bottle leaving the neck of the bottle empty. Add 10 drops of either mint or lemon essential oil. Put top on spray bottle and secure tightly. Gently shake the bottle to mix ingredients.
Then, wash those dirty clothes. Take down and wash the curtains and/or dust your blinds. Wash your windows inside and outside. The Fairy Farm Girl Cleanser works great for this. Simply spray and then wipe with a clean cloth or biodegradable paper towels. Change the beds. Vacuum or sweep the floors. Wash the floors and windows and walls. Scrub the bathroom and kitchen appliances and counters.
Now would also be a good time to rearrange the furniture. Feng Shui your rooms or align your furniture with the Directions. Find Due East in your dwelling. Mark that direction by hanging a something of meaning to you on the wall that is evocative of the Sunrise, the color associated with this direction is Yellow. Next, find Due North in your dwelling. Mark that direction with something Mineral/Crystal or a picture of crystals the color associated with this direction is White. Next find Due West in your Dwelling. Mark that direction with something Water based-- like a snow globe or a vase of flowers or a picture of water, the color associated with this direction is Blue. Finally Find Due South in your Dwelling. Mark that direction with something fire based such as a candle or a battery operated candle or a picture of a lighted Candle or of beautiful nourishing Fire, the color associated with this direction is Red or Pink.
To do all of that cleaning you only need a few tools! Simplicity works well for most experiences.
For most cleaning Apple Cider Vinegar, Water, Dish soap, and baking soda works well.
Fairy Farm Girl uses these agents to clean just about everything. It turns out its all in the combination.

Clothes Washing in automatic washing machine--Fairy Farm Girluses 1/2 cup of baking soda dissolved in the washing machine water. Then add to the clothes and about 1/8 cup of cider vinegar.
One can also use a biodegradable dish soap to clean everything If using the biodegradable soup simply add 3Tbs to each full load of clothes and wash on cold. Also, for ring around the collar and sleeves just saturate the stains with the soap and rub the fabric together and then wash in washing machine with the rest of the load.
Washing dishes in a Automatic Dishwasher--Fill one of the automatic dispensers with baking soda, and in the other put 2 TBS of biodegradable dish soap. In the Jet Dry dispenser fill with Cider Vinegar. Fill the dishwasher with dishes and run the cycle as usual.
Cleaning surfaces--Wet the surface and sprinkle baking soda over the surface to be cleaned. Squirt a little biodegradable soap on the surface and then using a scrubby type of pad (can be any type that you use) simply scrub the surface. Wipe clean with damp cloth until all baking soda and soap is removed.
For a bath tub or sink --Do as above and simply rinse the baking soda and soap down the drain. For toilet bowl squirt about 1 tsp of biodegradable soap in the toilet bowl and clean with the toilet bowl brush-- Flush toilet afterwards to reveal a clean toilet bowl.
For cleaning floors, counter tops and surfaces--Fill a clean plastic spray bottle 1/4 way full with cider vinegar. Add Blessed water to fill to nearly the top. Put spray nozzle in the spray bottle. Sweep the floor or vacuum the floor to remove debris and dust bunnies etc --
Spray the floor in small areas and mop with a clean mop or use an old towel . Fairyfarmgirl has found that this is safe for most surfaces. If you are not sure test in a small area before cleaning the whole surface. As with all things these are suggestions!

Clearing The Dwelling Place
Now that your Dwelling is physically clean--- It is now time to Clear your Home of energies that no longer serve you.
Fairy Farm Girl suggests you begin by opening all the windows in your dwelling beginning at the top floor (if you have a top floor). Throw open the doors and shades. Open the Windows! If you have window screens now is the time to install them!
NOTE: If You have children and/or pets inside your dwelling now would be a good time to send them out to play in a secure and safe area where they are happy and well cared for or wait until they are not present in your home. Take precautions with open windows and children and pets. Clear your home safely for all beings!Let the fresh air circulate through your dwelling. While the place is airing out, it is time to gather your tools and ingredients to clear your home.
To begin one will need some Sage, Lavender, Thyme, or Mugwort will work very very well to Clear and Bless a dwelling. We recommend making a cleansing water. A cleansing water is beneficial as water is everywhere! This is also very very safe around children and pets, people who are allergic to smoke, and is safer than smudging with smoking smudge stick.
Mugwort Thyme Lavender Sage
Note: Sage, Lavender, Mugwort and Thyme are all medicinal herbs as well as cooking herbs and are used in Clearing and Blessings world wide. To learn more about this see links at the bottom of this page.
Cleansing/Blessing Water Recipe
Ingredients:
handful of Fresh Sage or Dried Whole Herb of Sage, Lavender, Thyme or Mugwort (if no Sage substitute with Lavender, Thyme or Mugwort)
Blessed Water
A Clean spray bottle (not the one used to make cleaner with) (measure your water with the spray bottle)
A coffee maker or electric tea kettle or or stove with a pan or a clean jar with a lid and a sunny window.
The Method
Step 1
Begin by clearing top floor of the dwelling with intention/prayer. Start in the innermost room and work outwards.
We suggest this prayer/intention~
I am a Beloved Child of God and all that Is. As a child of God, I Bathe this Space and mySelf with Love and Light. This is Sacred Space and only that of Love shall remain here. All others must LEAVE NOW. I call and Invoke the Archangels Micheal, Raphael and Gabriel to come and do this perfect and good work of clearing this space and occupants including me (state your full name). Thank you and It so it is.
Wait a few minutes in silence... Fairyfarmgirl likes Elizabeth to balance her chakras. See Links below for a Chakra Balancing Video. When you feel like it is time, continue. The Sound OM is very appropriate at this time. ...So the sound now is ‘OM’, pronounced like ‘home’ where the ‘h’ is silent.
For an excellent Chakra Meditation go to Meditations
Step 2
Invoke the Archangels of Light and Love.
Fairy Farm Girl suggests that you simply say in a clear and firm voice:
I call upon the Benevolent Archangel Michael, the Guardians, Guides, Angels, and Helpers to come and do their perfect and good work in assisting me in creating this blessing water for myself and my space.
The Blessing of items is the focused intention to restore the substance to its perfect and good form. In this case for water and/or the Herbs, the intention restores the substance to its optimal level of crystalline form. (See links at the end of this post for supporting information)
Step 3 The Blessing
The Blessing--- As a Child of the One True Infinite Creator (some will call this God) I Bless this Water with Love so that it nourishes my soul and the souls of all who enter this dwelling place and Enriches my Body and the bodies of all who enter this dwelling place.Method--
Hold the fresh herb you have chosen to use in your hands and bless it. Then bless the water. Choose a method for heating your water (if no heating source then see sun blessing water recipe)
Heat the water to boiling in an appropriate cooking container. While the water is heating to boiling place the herb you are using in a glass or ceramic or clay or stainless steel bowl or container or jar.
Bless the jar or bowl or pan that you will pour the boiling water into and the Herb you are using.
When the water is boiling remove from the heat and pour over the herbs and cover with a lid. Let the Herb and water steep for at least 20 minutes. After 20 minutes... remove the herb and pour the blessing Herb water into the spray bottle. Hold the Spray bottle now filled with the Herb Blessing water in your hand. Bless the the Herb blessing water again.
Step 4Express Gratitude
Thank the Archangels. Fairy Farm Girl like's to say this--I am so happy and grateful for your assistance in doing this perfect and good work. I bless you with Love. Thank you. It is done.
Note: if no heating source put herb of your choice in a clean jar with a lid and fill jar to 1/2 inch from the top with water. Follow the same blessing outline only do this in succession without waiting for water to boil. Cover the top of the jar and place in a sunny window for 2-3 days. The sun will steep the herbs over time. After 2 or 3 days, open sacred space and invoke the Archangels as outlined above. Bless the herbal blessing/clearing water as outlined above. Close the sacred space as outlined above.
The Utilization of Energy Transference
Using The Blessing/Clearing Water--Set the spray nozzle on mist and gently mist all the air and walls and floor and under the bed and in closets. Use an intention that resonates with you-- Something like: I bless this space with this blessing water. I bathe this space with Love and Light.
The key is consistent practice. The action of consistent practice of blessing your dwelling place and will clear the dwelling place of energies that no longer serve you. And in doing so will assist you in attracting energies that do.
Your Future
In this World you are given as you give And you are forgiven as you forgive---
While you go your way Through each lovely dayYou create your Future as you live.
