A Story from my Personal Experience

Before diving into the signs, I want to share a story from my personal experience—one that might not seem related at first, but it absolutely is...

As some of you know, I’m also a professional musician. My main instrument is the flute, and when I used to teach, I often told my students that playing the flute is a lot like driving a car. You need regular maintenance—cleaning, oiling, tuning—just as you need to change the oil in your car every few thousand miles.

If you skip that maintenance, eventually things stop working properly. Even before that, tasks that once felt easy start to feel harder.

I knew this, but for years when something didn’t sound right on my flute, I would always blame myself. What’s wrong with me today? Why do I sound awful? I’d get frustrated, I'd be hard on myself—until I finally realized that more often than not, it was just my instrument that needed a good cleaning.

Once I learned to check the instrument first instead of blaming myself, everything shifted.

I had more ease, grace and flow in my musical life.

The ethos of this story translates directly into energy work - the same is true here.

When the Energy Feels “Off,” It’s Not Always You

For many of us—especially those who are empathic, sensitive, or compassionate—when something feels “off” in our homes or workplaces, our first instinct is often to blame ourselves:

Why am I so tired? Why do I feel anxious? Why can’t I focus or get things done?

But often, it’s not you. It’s the energy of your space that needs clearing.

Yes, personal responsibility and energetic hygiene matter—but sometimes your environment is simply holding on to heavy or stagnant energy that needs to be released.

When you start tending to the energy of your physical space consistently, you’ll notice how much more peaceful, grounded, and creative you feel day to day. Just like cleaning an instrument can help you play with more ease, clearing your space can help you live and work with greater flow.

Signs It’s Time to Clear the Energy of Your Space

Let’s look at some common signs that it’s time to clear things out energetically.

1. Technology Starts Acting Up

If your computer, phone, printer, or Wi-Fi connection starts glitching for no reason, that’s often a sign the energy around you has become ungrounded.

Try grounding and clearing your physical space first. You can even ground your devices—your computer, your phone, your router—by imagining them connected to the Earth, releasing static or chaotic energy.

When people in a space are anxious, scattered, or ungrounded, technology tends to mirror that energy. Once the space is cleared, those issues often resolve on their own.

2. Sudden Shifts in Mood or Emotion

If you walk into a room feeling relaxed and suddenly feel anxious, sad, or irritable—while no one else seems affected—it’s probably time to clear the energy.

That shift can come from lingering energy from past events or energy simply passing through. Either way, don’t overanalyze it. Just clear the space and reset the flow.

3. Animals Acting Out of Character

Our animal companions are incredibly sensitive to energy.

If your usually calm pet suddenly becomes restless, fearful, or hyperactive, they might be reacting to stagnant or non-beneficial energy. Pay attention—your animals can be powerful indicators that something in the environment needs to shift.

4. Plants Looking Unwell for No Reason

Plants are wonderful teachers and protectors. When you care for a plant well and it suddenly starts to wilt, develop blight, or die for no clear reason, it can be a sign that your space needs clearing.

5. Feeling Watched When No One’s There

If you’ve ever had the unsettling feeling that you’re being watched, even when alone, trust that as guidance from your clairsentience. It’s your body’s way of saying, Hey, there’s an energetic presence here that doesn’t belong.

Every one of us has the power to clear unwanted energy from our space. When you feel that sensation, don’t ignore it—validate it and take action.

6. Low Motivation or Heavy Energy at Home

If you’re finding it hard to get off the couch or feel inspired, the issue might not be you—it might be your home’s energy.

A simple refresh can bring life back into your environment and motivation back into your body. You might be surprised how much lighter and more productive you feel after clearing your space.

You Have the Power to Clear Your Space

I hope these signs are validating for you. This isn’t an exhaustive list—there are many ways energy communicates that it’s time for a refresh—but these are some of the most common.
