Clear Home, Clear Heart
Page 19
I’ve received anecdotal reports from oncology nurses who cleared their chemotherapy patients during treatment and found they had few to none of the usual side effects and much faster recovery times. And I constantly hear from people about clearing colds and flus within hours, and other seemingly miraculous resolutions of more serious health issues through repeated clearings, though of course we can never know if this was the reason.
People with allergies and food or environmental sensitivities often find relief through this work. One woman said, “I was so sensitive, I used to get severe, crippling migraine headaches with nausea and fatigue from eating food with even a trace of MSG in it. Even a taste of salad dressing or potato chips made me ill for days. Now I just tune in and clear my food before I eat it, and this no longer happens! It’s been life-changing to be able to eat in restaurants again.”
Countless people have found their weight dropped without any new diet or exercise after attending a clearing workshop. It makes you wonder how much of the weight many of us carry around is held there more for energetic reasons than anything else. Interestingly, I’ve always found that at clearing retreats, we eat like crazy yet don’t seem to gain weight!
Savvy real-estate agents have space clearers on call for their difficult properties. I’ve heard so many accounts of bidding wars the day after a space clearing on a property that had been stuck on the market with no offers, or a sale that had fallen through suddenly getting back on track. More and more people are giving a space clearing as a gift for the new owners of their homes or having their own new place cleared as the first priority once they move in. (It’s best to space-clear a new home after you’ve moved your belongings in so everything can get cleared all at once.)
Probably what’s most dear to my heart are all the messages that pour in from highly sensitive people who say learning to clear has completely turned their lives around. Diane wrote to me: “I used to come home from work and need the entire rest of the evening just to recuperate from having to cope with other people’s energy all day. Now I’m no longer an energy sponge! For the first time in my life, I can say it’s no longer hard to be me in the world.”
Remember that each time you pick up your pendulum, your system is learning how to deliberately open up to energy. Each time you put down your pendulum, you’re being trained in how it feels to put your boundaries back in place again. (For many highly sensitive people, this will be the first time they actually learn how to establish and control their energetic boundaries.) Soon you will naturally use this new ability in your everyday life, even when you’re not using a pendulum as your on/off button.
But it’s not just that this work helps highly sensitive people manage better. To me, just finding a way to survive in this intense world is not good enough! There’s yet another level that you’ll move to, one where it’s actually a beautiful experience to be able to feel so much. Life becomes filled with sensual delights in every moment because you’re finally safe enough to actually enjoy whatever you feel. Nothing will challenge your system; you can dance with the energy of every person or place that you encounter.
Sometimes people say to me, “It must be a nightmare for you to be so open and have to feel so much!” And yes, it used to be a constant overwhelm for me. But now, it’s the opposite—just a gorgeous diversity of fascinating information always swirling around me, and I can be at ease with and love all of it. I wish the same for you.
It’s always fascinating to hear from people about their clearing stories, and I’ve created a special e-mail address where you can write me privately to share your experience: mystory@jeanhaner.com. No experience is too trivial, so don’t be shy about getting in touch with a confidential message. I look forward to hearing from you!
Uploading and Downloading Bliss
You’ve gotten so used to telling yourself a very limited story about who you are. That was not who you arrived to be, and it’s not who you really are now. To reclaim your original nature, you need to let go—let go of the story, and of the patterns of reactions you’ve become stuck in. In order to be successful, this has to be done gradually, gently, and in an honoring way.
With each clearing you receive, tiny aspects of your unloved side are being accepted with ease. With each clearing you give, you are learning a new way of being in your own life. As the layers of that cloud around you slowly evaporate, your bright inner luminosity gets more and more apparent, and others around you respond to that light. As you move beyond the limiting room you’ve been confined in, as the walls fall away, you become a spacious being living a spacious life.
And in the process, your heart expands its range, its ability to love. The courageous heart is able to be open because it knows how to dance with anyone and anything it encounters. Each time you embrace the energy of a little feeling for someone else in a soft, receptive way, your heart is learning how to be safe with everything you feel in your own life. This is the way to becoming a fully compassionate presence wherever you go. With each clearing you give and receive, you’re further activating the power of your heart, and that not only helps your personal evolution; it can change the world.
You have within you an extraordinary capacity for love and joy that is just waiting to be given a chance to emerge more fully. Remember my experience of uploading and downloading bliss because I had connected to the energy of the powerful healers and teachers who were also supporting my friend as she was dying? Since that moment, I’ve carried the vision of creating the same kind of network for all of us to tap into whenever we need it. When people join together with the simple intent to bring balance, they entrain with one another, harmonizing effortlessly and beautifully, and so they all benefit; they are all transformed.
Clear Home, Clear Heart Community
This network of people devoted to clearing is already available to you online, and it is growing as this book reaches the hands of many all over the world. I’d love to invite you to help us all be present for one another in this way. I hope you’ll visit me at www.jeanhaner.com and www.facebook.com/clearhomeclearheart. There you can ask questions, find a clearing partner, or request clearings for yourself or anyone as well as continue to learn more about this work.
I encourage you to play with what you’ve learned in this book, and to be easy on yourself as you develop your skills and understanding. Don’t have expectations that you’ll do it all perfectly right from the beginning, and try not to be disappointed if you don’t get instant results! Avoid pushing yourself to do too much, and remember that just because clearing seems so easy, it doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. You will think you’re not doing anything, but I assure you—you are!
I also hope that you’ll consider learning more in person. Sometimes, I’ve found that even when people read my books more than once, it’s not until they come to a retreat or workshop that everything falls into place. Suddenly, they have the huge “aha!” where they finally feel confident that they know what they’re doing. There’s nothing like a real in-person experience. The energy of the group entraining together makes the learning far more powerful and life-changing. I’ve also seen over the years how many beautiful and lasting friendships have come out of the community of people who attend these classes! So please view my upcoming courses listed on the Events page at www.jeanhaner.com; I’d love to meet you and work together.
There’s so much more to share with you—this is just the beginning, and I am so happy and honored to be by your side, two temple bells resonating together.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A huge thank-you to my son, Jeffrey Wai-Ming Dong, who created the illustrations for this book. The artistic talent in my family definitely skipped a generation, bypassing me and going directly from my mother to him.
I’m also incredibly grateful for the multitude of brilliant insights from my editor, Nicolette Salamanca Young, who is a delight to work with and saved me from making a fool of myself in many places in this book. Deep gratitude as well has to go to Ruth Mikos for standing by me for so many years and making sure we stay on track, despite the sometimes complicated life I lead. And as always, my heart goes out to Louise Hay, who brought me into the Hay House family and with whom I’ve had so many adventures over the years.
I have many, many other people to give deep bows to, but most of all I want to thank all my teachers through the years, some of whom didn’t show up in the form of a teacher. A special thank-you to William Bloom for long ago telling me to beware of men in uniforms, even those in monk’s robes.
ABOUT the AUTHOR
Jean Haner is an intuitive empath, able to physically feel and work with the energy of people and places. Highly sensitive as a child, she easily absorbed the energy of others and also was overly affected by the vibrations held in environments. But through 30 years of training, research, and experience, she transformed her sensitivity from a challenge into a strength and developed the power to work with energy on a very refined level.
Because of her personal experience with both the challenges and benefits of being an empath, Jean is well known as a compassionate and effective teacher. She offers Clear Home, Clear Heart retreats and trainings and teaches Discover Your Inner Design workshops based on her three other Hay House books: The Wisdom of Your Face, The Wisdom of Your Child’s Face, and Your Hidden Symmetry.
