Buying or renting a place? What is worth doing before the furniture arrives, so your new home feels calm from the very first day.
Moving into a new home is a happy time. But a new home is rarely completely new. A flat or a house has its own history: other people lived there, with their joys, arguments and misfortunes. Even a newly built house stands on land that has its own energy and its own zones. That is why the best time to take care of the space is before you move in, while it is still empty and nothing has been finally planned.
Why it is worth doing in advance
Before the furniture arrives, you are free to choose where the bed, the desk, the cot or your favourite armchair will go. Later it is harder to rearrange: the kitchen is already fitted, the wardrobes are built into the walls, habits have formed. Besides, an empty space is easier to work in, and it is clearer to see what is going on there. And one more thing: starting life in a new place with a clean space is simply a good beginning, one that brings calm to the whole family.
What is worth knowing about the home’s history
If you can, ask why the previous occupants moved out. Did they live there long, or did occupants change often? If the neighbours mention that nobody stays in this flat for long, that is worth remembering. Pay attention to your own first impression during the viewing as well: which room made you want to stay longer, and which one you wanted to leave quickly. You do not need to know everything, but every detail helps. If you are buying a house with a plot, it is also worth looking at where you plan to put a gazebo or a seating area in the garden, because outdoors, too, some spots are calmer than others.
What I check before you move in
I come to the empty property and go through every room with a dowsing rod. I look for geopathic zones and mark them, so that you know where not to put beds and other places where you spend a lot of time. I also check whether any heavy energy has been left behind by previous occupants. The work takes about two hours. At the end I clear the space, and you come away with a clear picture of which spots are calm and which are better avoided. Then you can plan your furniture knowing where the bed will stand safely. This matters especially for the bedroom and the children’s room, because that is where we spend the most time.
What you can do yourself
Before moving in, air every room well, opening the windows on opposite sides. Throw out things the previous occupants left behind, especially old beds, mattresses and rugs. Wash the floors, windows, windowsills and the inside of the wardrobes. During the first nights, notice how you sleep and how you feel in each room. If somewhere feels constantly uncomfortable, write it down and tell me.
Rented homes
Many people think a rented home does not need this kind of care, because they will not live there for long. But even a year of poor sleep is a long time. The position of the bed in a rented flat can be changed just as easily, and clearing the space does no harm to anyone. If the landlord allows you to move the furniture, it is worth doing straight away. And do not be afraid to ask the landlord how long the property has been empty and who lived there before. Most people answer openly, and this information helps you understand what to pay attention to first.
If you have already moved in
That is no problem at all. A home can be checked and cleared at any time; it is simply easiest before you move in. If you are planning a move, ring me as soon as you have the keys. The first phone conversation is free, and we will arrange a visit flexibly, weekends included.
With a dowsing rod I find geopathic zones at home or at work and clear the space of heavy energy. Especially worth it if poor sleep started after a move, or children are restless in a room.
