What does clearing clear away?

The short answer is discordant energies. Over many centuries these energies have come to be known by several different names. Ghosts, thought forms, spirits, astral clutter are among the common names we hear in the late 20th Century. What the exact name is for the energy or what sort of metaphysical category the energy may represent is really quite unimportant to the effectiveness of this protocol.

What is the energy?

Often, but not always, the energy has an electromagnetic component. A small number of people with clairvoyant vision can see a shape or form with the energy, although for most the energy is sensed as an uncomfortable feeling. In metaphysical terms, the energy is simply a low astral vibration, which is to say an energy vibration just faster than the speed of light.

Why bother to clear the energy away?

For two reasons: (1) It gets in the way for those of us on planet Earth; (2) It is in the wrong place here on planet Earth and in most cases sincerely wants to find its way to it's "right place" in the metaphysical world. Remember that usually the energy wants out of here as much as we would like it to leave.

How does the energy get in the way?

The energy can create anything from emotional discomfort to pain and illness in humans, animals in plants. In some cases it can cause electronic equipment (like stereos, computers, telephones, etc) to malfunction. It's challenging enough living on this planet without having outside interference messing things up even more.

Can a building be dehaunted using this protocol?

I've done so hundreds of times. But I'm sorry to disappoint you. It has none of the drama of a B-movie from Hollywood. It's about as mundane as brushing your teeth. That's how you know when you're doing it right: it's a big ho-hum with no theatrics.

Do I have to memorize the protocol?

Nope. You can just read it from a sheet of paper or your computer screen. However, most people we have taught it to wind up memorizing it (which is very easy to do) because they keep running into situations where they want to use the protocol and they haven't remembered to bring their sheet of paper or their laptop with them.

How do I know if it has worked?

Easy. Has the problem gone away? Is the discomfort gone? Does the air feel lighter or cleaner? Is the electronic equipment working? Although keep in mind electronic equipment can malfunction for reasons other than discordant astral energies. Sometimes a repair person truly is needed to fix the equipment. Also keep in mind some physical discomfort requires professional health care as well. This protocol is NOT a substitute for professional health care: it is in addition to such care.

Do I have to be physically present in the location to do the protocol?

No! You can do it long distance. If you can visualize the location or building in your mind, you can do the clearing from as far away as you can imagine. From here in Toronto we have cleared buildings as far away as in Australia.

How do I know a location or building needs clearing?

If you walk into a building and it feels "yucky", it probably needs clearing. Most schools, government offices, shopping malls, office buildings, or any other public building usually need clearing daily.

Where does all this discordant energy come from?

A lot of it comes from individuals having a lousy day and leaving a trail of negative emotions behind them every where they go. All you need is one person with nasty case of the grumps to load up a room with discordant energy. Imagine what a room with 10 grumpy people must contain. Now consider a public building where dozens of people upset about something are walking through. Haunted houses are rare compared to the negative emotional energy floating around created by humans. A single emotional outburst by one person can fill a room with discordant energy for days or weeks afterwards, and everyone going into that room is picking up that negativity. Clearing eliminates the negativity so others can walk into the room without being affected by the negativity.

Are there any other uses for this protocol?

Probably the number of uses is limited only by your imagination, but one special use for the protocol is at the point of an animal or a human's passing (the time of death, some would call it). By doing just the first step, the "Dear Ones" prayer, at the time the person or animal passes away or within a few or or days later, it greatly assists the entity to find the Light. This is perhaps the greatest gift of unconditional love and compassion you can give to someone passing on. A peaceful passing is one of the few things you can take with you.

Where did you come up with this protocol?

Experience. A few years ago I was working with another Reiki Master, and we kept seeing people bogged down with negativity but having nothing wrong that either medical doctors or alternative health practitioners could identify. Over a period of time all sorts of things were tried. Some worked, others didn't. The clearing protocol worked. So I share it with you. While technically it is not part of the Usui Reiki system, I include the protocol in the Reiki courses I teach.

May I distribute this protocol to others?

Please do. I would like to see as many people as possible have the benefits of this protocol. All I ask is that you keep email address at the bottom of the protocol and this FAQ with the protocol when you distribute it.

So just how do the five steps of the protocol work?

Briefly:

Step One: Just say the prayer, addressing the discordant energy. There is a bit of flexibility in the wording (for instance you can substitute Buddha, goddess, Source, for God if that is more comfortable for you) but keep the phrase "court of God" intact for that phrase is one of the key words in the effectiveness of the prayer. At the end some people like to do a visualization (of their own choosing) involving the energy being led away. That visualization is optional. The prayer works just as well if you skip the visualization. Be sure to say thank you afterwards for the help. To whom? A better question would be to what.

Step Two: The sound A-E-I-O-U is the vowels of the English alphabet pronounced in order swiftly and firmly but not sharply. Avoid the sharp yell of the martial arts practitioner, but don't be a wus either. This step clears away residual clutter in the air after the entities have been escorted away.

Step Three: This was borrowed from pranayama in the yoga tradition from India. Close your mouth and snort (exhale sharply) through your nose while thinking "clear" (crystalline as in an ice palace). This gets rid of ectoplasm. [Remember the movie, Ghostbusters? They overdid it wildly, but there really is such a thing as ectoplasm. Usually it's just a minor sense of stickiness on a smooth surface.]

Step Four: Visualize (in your mind) a horizonal tidal wave of cleansing white light goes through the location. Make sure it goes 8 meters (25 ft) underground to clear any discordant ley lines (planetary energy lines).

Step Five: Visualize the replacement energy. Allow the mist of God's love to gently fill the location.
