Clear Home, Clear Heart – Jean Haner
“I’ve been involved with clearing for 15 years now, but it all began long before that. I sometimes say I was born a human dowsing rod, an empath, able to feel the subtle energy in people and places. This was sometimes a neat trick. As a child, I could find lost things by feeling the air with my hand until I felt a ‘zotz’ and there would be the missing object.
But it was more often a huge challenge. I would walk into a room where there had been stress and feel overwhelmed by the intensity of emotion that had been experienced there. Or I would sit next to people and soak up their emotions, physical pain or illness. Of course, there was no language for what I was experiencing, and no awareness about what was really going on. It was difficult and confusing to be a child in this kind of world.
As I’ve learned since, I was not the only one to be in the world this way. Most people who are like this shut down at an early age so they don’t have to feel anymore. Or they go through life terribly challenged and in overwhelm most of the time, and thinking there is something wrong with them. The focus of much of my work these days is to help others develop their ability to live with strength and balance, having healthy boundaries while still staying open and available.
Feng Shui
Things began to change for me thirty years ago, when I married into a Chinese family. My mother-in-law talked about this strange thing called “foong sooey”. Of course this was long before feng shui became known in the West. The rest of the family told me not to listen to her, that she was just being superstitious, but something about what she said intrigued me. And this was my first introduction to the thought that there could be invisible things happening that I was being impacted by. What a revelation!
I went on to study feng shui in every way I could, and ended up being one of the first people in the US to practice professionally, over 15 years ago. As I developed my intuitive skills, I found I could sense and locate specific imbalances with amazing accuracy. I could identify the negative energetic residue held in a chair that had belonged to an angry relative, or the spot in the room where the wife had an argument with her husband last week. I was soon able to discern ghosts, earth energies, different emotions stuck in an environment, even technology such as electromagnetic fields that were all affecting my clients in their space.
I was also realizing just how much information radiated out from my clients and how much of my work needed to be with their energy as well. The inter-relatedness of us with our environment is still not understood well enough. I could work with the space but the person in that space could also be affecting what went on there, and how sustainable any external changes might be.
These ‘invisible’ energies were of more interest to me than the usual feng shui advice about the color of the wallpaper, or where to put the couch. But when a colleague suggested to me that I specifically concentrate on clearing rather than feng shui, this was the last thing I wanted to do! It was very challenging to work with energy in this way. When I really opened up to all the information, I’d be exhausted at the end of my work. I was already so overwhelmed at all the sensations coming through, why in the world would I want MORE?
Space Clearing
But as fate will have it, through complete serendipity, I found myself as one of a handful of people chosen from among hundreds of applicants to participate in a demanding and comprehensive professional training in space clearing. At the time, I was helping to coordinate a large conference at which one of the “world authorities” on space clearing was teaching. I was asked to help set up the classroom and then guard the door so the teacher could have time alone in the room to clear it before the workshop began.
I was the first person to walk into the room after the clearing was done. .... And it was like being on the top of Mt. Everest at the beginning of time. The atmosphere was pristine, crystalline, and unimaginably pure. It took my breath away. And I knew I had to learn how to do this.
This long, intensive training was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but it took my abilities to a whole new level. And it was only after years of further development and experience that I felt I was doing truly powerful heart-based clearing work while being in control of my own energy and aware of how not to take things on. These days, I’m in awe of how easily clearing workshops can help people develop and deepen their ability to move through the world with a fearless heart, and to bring balance wherever they go.”

Would you be able to find my passport.. I put it in a very safe place, and I can't remember where... :) [zena]
I know those feeling and have been drowned in them [Angelic-hands]
I at one time was such an empath that it eventually led me to a path of self destruction by using heroin and meth, I am so very grateful to have found the strength to rid myself of it, but once again my empathy is at times too much for me to handle that I too just shut down. [Monica]
Fascinating ... Thank you for all you do to improve the world for others. Tehachap [Tehachap]
