Claiming a Space

7/21/2021

​I’ve taught this to many of you over the years, but lately it’s been coming up more often, so I figured I would put it out there for everyone.
 
This is a technique to help you own a new space- house, apartment, or temporary living situation- by infusing it your energy. When you claim a space as yours, it helps you to feel more grounded and safe within that space. It will also help you settle in much more quickly. And even though I said it's for a "new" space, you can use it for your current one, especially if you've never felt settled there.

I once had a client use this technique in a theatre where she was performing. It helped her be more present and comfortable on stage. So while it's usually used for a living situation, feel free to get creative as you need.
 
Here’s how you do it:
 
First, walk around the space and notice the layout: all the corners in all rooms and each room’s general shape. When you can visualize that clearly, then either literally or figuratively, depending on if it's possible, stand wherever the center of the house or apartment etc. is.
 
Starting in whichever room you want, begin to imagine golden cords of light, like a rope, streaming towards you from each upper corner of that room, down and into your dominant hand. Then imagine ropes/cords of light coming from every bottom corner of that same room, and into your dominant hand. When you’ve finished one room, move on to the next, all the while staying stationary in the approximate center of the house. As you gather the cords, it should look as if you’re holding strings from a huge bunch of balloons. 
 
As you practice and get better at this technique, it becomes easier to stand in the center of the house and imagine these cords coming to you. However, if you’re in a space with many odd shaped rooms and the way I described seems too hard, you can also do the technique in one room at a time, gathering your cords, while walking from room to room. For some, this is a preferred method in that as you walk the space, you really see the outline of the house/apartment and are able to inhabit it more fully. ​After you've been in every room, while holding your bunch of cords, then move to the center of the overall space. 
 
Once you have all the cords gathered in your hand, with complete authority and ownership claim, “my space!” and lift your hand and slam those cords down into the center of the planet. Imagine them going all the way down to the core of the planet and rooting/anchoring in. Let go of the cords. 

Now imagine/visualize a golden light emanating from each corner of the whole house/apartment, expanding out to create a ball of light around the outside of the overall space.
 
Your energy is now able to fill the rooms and the entire space. If you’re in an apartment building, only do this for your apartment, not the whole building. Let the ball surrounding the space only surround your apartment.
 
If you live with others, when it comes time to claim the space, claim it in the name of each of you. Even though you’re doing the visualizing, before grounding those cords say, “I claim this space in my name and the name(s) of…”  If you don’t add them in, generally it’s not an issue, but sometimes your energy can become so dominant in the space, that the others who live there will feel squished and irritable without knowing why. So be respectful.

May this bring increased harmony to your living situation!

This is so cool!! You've inspired me to be conscious about claiming my space wherever I go/am. (I love that.) I have a doctor's appointment today so I'm going to play with it there. And of course the next time I teach in-person I want to use this technique.

It really speaks to enchantment to me, where you're home wherever you are. It also reminds me to proclaim "Here I am!" It feels like that to me, like I'm presenting myself to the Universe as I claim my space. Standing tall, proud, committed, resolved.

Another beautiful and powerful blog!! Thank you. 🙏

Xoxo!!

Yes yes Halle, perfect!! Let me know how it works for you. Thank you so much for your feedback; very glad it was helpful for you!
And I'm guessing you meant a Dr appt "tomorrow"- you wrote "today" at 9:15pm ;)
