Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt… off? Maybe it was heavy, tense, or just didn’t feel right? I used to think I was being overly sensitive until I learned something that completely shifted my perspective: every space holds energy.
Spaces Are Energy Sponges
Think about it—the coffee shop where you’re reading this, your office, even your own living room—they’ve all absorbed the emotions, thoughts, and energy of everyone who’s been there before you. That argument your coworkers had in the conference room? The stress someone brought into the grocery store? It all lingers.
But here’s the beautiful part: you get to choose what energy you leave behind.
What Does It Mean to Bless a Space?
Blessing a space isn’t about religion or complex rituals (though it can be if that’s your thing). It’s about intentionally shifting the energy of wherever you are. When I bless a space, I’m essentially saying, “Let me leave this place a little brighter than I found it.”
The process is surprisingly simple:
- Set your intention to clear any stagnant or negative energy
- Visualize the space filling with light, love, and positive energy
- Send that energy out with genuine care for whoever comes next
How I Do It (And How You Can Too)
I started small. Before important meetings, I’d take a moment to silently wish for the room to be filled with clarity and understanding. When leaving restaurants, I’d mentally send gratitude and good vibes for the next diners.
My go-to blessing: I imagine golden light filling the space, pushing out anything heavy or negative, and replacing it with warmth and peace. Sometimes it’s as simple as thinking, “May this space bring joy to everyone who enters.”
The Ripple Effect
Here’s what I’ve noticed after making this a regular practice:
- Spaces actually feel different when I’m intentional about the energy I bring
- I’m more mindful of my own emotional state throughout the day
- There’s something deeply satisfying about knowing I might have made someone else’s day a little brighter
Try This Challenge
For one week, bless every space you enter—your home, workplace, the bank, your friend’s house, even the elevator. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. A simple thought of “may this space be filled with love and light” is enough.
Pay attention to how it affects not just the spaces around you, but how you feel moving through your day. You might be surprised by the shift.
After all, in a world that can feel pretty chaotic, being someone who consciously spreads a little more light? That feels like exactly the kind of person I want to be.
