I was in a bookstore, browsing the shelf and this book fell on me. I looked at it, put it back on the shelf... it kept falling on me, so I just had to buy it. Wonderful, insightful and interesting read.

[Freder · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very thorough. A little TOO thorough, in that there's an awful lot of padding that went into making this a 300-page book. The practical information it contains could be condensed into about 50 pages, and would be more useful if it were.

[Kay · Rating 1 out of 5]

Author unabashedly touts homeopathy, flower remedies, and other trash. This is like the Sylvia Browne genre of New age books: pagan on the surface but underneath lurks pseudo-science, cultural appropriation, and angels. Skip it.

[Elise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five star review because it's the first book I read about Feng Shui, and a lot of topics have been touched and gave an in depth idea of what options you have to enhance your surroundings from an energetic perspective.

I listened to the book on Audible - but will buy a physical copy to easily reread the tips and tricks. On Audible the recording was fine, but I was slightly annoyed by the pronounciation of the word 'herbs' ('urps').

I skipped one chapter - about angels - as this is to 'fluffy' for me and seemed to have no link with the traditional Chinese Feng Shui.
Never the less all other topics where relevant, and discribed clear and in an easy to implement manor.

It's a bit woo woo, however, I enjoyed reading some of the suggestions. I was particularly interested in the feng shui sections. I really enjoyed all the Native American references.

[Kati · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book for both novices and experts in space-clearing. It is packed with tons of information about various technqiues from different cultures that are useful for the home, apartment and office so if you are looking for a comprehensive book on the subject, this one is definately the way to go. This will definately servce as a reference book in the future and is worth rereading as there is a lot of information packed into this seemingly small book.

While the author covers feng shui techniques, this book is more focused on Native American methods of space clearing and is thus more nature-focused (the first section of the book describes how the four primary elements - earth, fire, air and water - can be harnessed to cleanse a space). Personally, I think this is a benefit, as opposed to a downside, because there are no strict methods to follow (like in feng shui), so these techniques can easily be implemented by anyone without any prior knowledge or training in the subject.

What drew me to this book was not what kept me interested. I love this book!! it has everything i wondered about about energy especially in your home and other places. it offers many methods and gives many equal alternative tools that can be used. it is a manual that looks at all aspects of energy of the home from emotions, ley lines, ghosts, stale energy, sickness, natural vibrations, feng shui and much much more.

This book will so help you organize and clear your home on a spiritual level. Yes, we all love our decluttering books (thank you, Peter Walsh). But this book delves into the spiritual aspect of how to truly clear your home.

This book is a classic space clearing, feng shui book that belongs on every bookshelf.

I actually enjoyed the information in the book. It just became very tedious and many chapters could have been omitted. I will try some of the clearing techniques and feng shui in my home. There was value to many of her offerings.

[P N · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great reference book.

[sequoia spirit · Rating 3 out of 5]

yeah, i found a bunch of her books used and scooped them up.. then ingested them like candy..

this one gets a lower star review only because i found it a bit tedious.. i understand the concept of cleansing your home, clearing out negative energy and infusing loving, positive vibes into your personal spaces, but i found a whole book on it, and only that.. to be overdone.. it's very detailed and precise in how to make your spaces sacred.. but if you are reading this book, i am sure you already believe in this and partake in your own practices... i guess i am saying, i didn't really learn much in this book.. instead of following what works for someone else, i like to develop my own ways, as the more personal, the better it works for me..
and even if you are new to this idea, i think you'd grow weary trying to incorporate all the suggestions in this book.. it's A LOT to learn.. probably more than most would do..

This book exposed me to a lot of new ideas and reinforced some that I already had. The back cover explains, “Everything in the universe is composed of constantly changing energy, including your home and its contents.” The nineteen chapters share a lot of the author’s interesting beliefs and suggestions for us to create more positive spaces in which to live and work. In chapter fourteen she shares that she believes in angels and protectors and offers suggestions to invite them into our homes. I have become but will remain conscious of the items I bring into and keep in my home. Overall, Sacred Space reinforced my own beliefs that we need to listen to our intuition, that our mind is a powerful muscle, and that we need to surround ourselves with the people, things, and experiences we love.

Kindle version needs better editing. In many places r & n appear as m. E.g corners appear as comers. Many other places have spelling mistakes as well. Besides the editing, the book is easy to read & gives a good overview of space clearing/cleansing concepts for your home or office. I think this is a good place to start & then go deeper into whatever may interest you further. The appendix also needs updating - it has physical addresses & 800 numbers instead of email addresses and/or websites or useful links. A better version is definitely needed but I would still recommend.

[Fed · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a theta healing practitioner I don’t like calling spirits. I would rather call the Creator directly & he will bless me with the needed energies.
The book in general was informative & covered a LOT of things, which was great.
Some of which: The four elements, the four directions, symbols, sounds, spirits, furniture arrangement, feng shui, essential oils … and so much more.

[Jacqueline · Rating 5 out of 5]

A friend lent me this book, and I am glad she did. It has proved invaluable, and I have used lots of the energy clearing techniques for my own home, and it does make it feel a better place to live. I will be buying myself a copy of this book for future reference.

[DIMITRA BENISI · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing book. I knew for many years the power of uncluttering, but Denise gave me a whole new sense in the magic of cleansing! Sacred Space indeed! Highly recommended

[Jeanette Beland · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not what I was hoping it would be. Discontinued reading.

[Olga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very thorough and practical book on the topic of house clearing and creating beautiful spaces.

[Leonore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Helpful to clear the clutter.

[Hollidaisy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was pretty good information, but had a lot of fluff to it. What I mean is, if we kept only the applicable info that should be used for reference, it would be a much shorter book.

[Lisa Weaver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book! One I NEED a hardcopy of lol I listened on audio.

[Hanneke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Practical informative
Lots of subjects so not much depth but lots of variety

[Dennis Tra · Rating 4 out of 5]

How energy and sacred powers in everyday life are all around and so much more

[Mary · Rating 1 out of 5]

Definitely not my type of book. I think Marie Konda is best at decluttering. This book definitely American self help. Might suit some readers

[Diana Brosiu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it! It covers many topics from feng shui to different space clearing techniques, aromatherapy, light impact and many more.

[Sian Witch reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not for me it was very padded with fluff and went on and on with angel work , I did learn a couple of things but wouldn't recommend

[LemontreeLime · Rating 2 out of 5]

Is like an encyclopedia.

[Jason Baldauf · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is more of a reference manual than a simple book about cleansing your space. The author covers a lot of ground in this work. House clearing is introduced first, but other topics include the incorporation of elements, essential oils, sound (singing bowls, chimes, etc.), numerology, feng shui and totems. Sections on moving into a new home, ghosts and setting up a home office are included. Highly recommend this one for all of the useful information being in one book.

Title of the German edition:
Die Magie des Wohnens

In this wonderful and inspiring book Denise Linn shows many techniques for clearing and upgrading the energies of your home and how to create power- and energy centers. She also gives many suggestions for spaceclearing rituals with the four elements (each element has its own chapter) you can use at once and describes simple and useful rituals and ceremonies with aroma therapy, sacred sounds, crystals, the significance of pets and the use of symbols and you even can find out the numerological value of your house number and much much more!
It´s a very interesting book and I´m rereading it once in a while (like now) because I want to move into a new appartment and I´d like to use some of her techniques to clear the the rooms from all the different influences which are floating around...
