Favorite Piece of Advice

The most important thing to remember when working with energy, whether it's within our own energy field or in our physical living space, is that once we've cleared it, the space is empty. We must be clearly intentional about what we refill the space with (e.g., joy, improved health, a new partner, etc.). Otherwise, random energy WILL fill the space, and it may not be what we want, expect, or need.
