• Four 18” Copper Tubes

• A good hammer

• Something to pre-drill a hole in the ground if necessary

• A compass

• Offerings: perhaps cedar, sage, sweetgrass, copal, tobacco, dried roses, lavender, chamomile, corn pollen, etc., or what­ever you choose

What to do

Get four copper tubes at the hardware store, cut to 18” long. De­pending on your soil, you can get 1/4” flexible tubes (refrigerator tubing) or a 1/2” rigid pipe if the soil is hard or rocky. You may need something to 'pre-drill' a hole. A piece of rebar for hard soil, or a large tent spike for softer soil will work. Straighten the tubing by hand or with the hammer if it was coiled, or if it hits a rock and gets bent. The copper tubes can go at the four cardinal points if that is possible, or one for each side of a lot or a house, whatever works best for your situ­ation. Just use the compass to show you which of your loca­tions is closest to East, and start from there.

I begin the ceremony in the East, then go to the South, the West, and the North. Finally I come back around to the East, to close the circle. In the tradition I follow, those directions represent Mind, Body, Emotions, and Spirit. When I come back around to the East at the end, I also give thanks to Above, Below, Within (and within the hearts of all those I love), and Beyond (beyond what is known and what is knowable).

At each location I say a prayer and make an offering or smudge with the cedar, etc. The prayer usually goes something like this (you can use your own words): “I ask that this land, this building, the spirits of place, other high beings, and all beings who ever have lived here or will live here will benefit by this energy clearing. We are all connected and we do this to heal and fill this place with the Light, in the name of the Light.” Sometimes I drum, chant, do toning or deep breathing, dance, or whatever seems to best re­spect and honor the process and the partici­pation of each being.

I put each tube 9” in the ground with a hammer. If that is too hard, first I use the rebar or large knitting needle to drill a hole for the copper tubing. If it is a place where it is not appropriate to have the copper tubing above ground, for privacy, or so no one will trip over it, I pause at 9” and ask it to do its work from there by intention, then hammer it in the rest of the way. Sometimes I mark the space with a rock, or cover it with leaves.

What you are doing and why

I ask that the copper tubes by intention do their work of clearing energy to the largest space appropriate, either just around the build­ing, to the edge of the lot, of if other energy, or beings, or land wishes to be cleared, they may join in by intention. It is good to ask permission of the landowner before doing this cere­mony, either direct­ly asking if possible, or asking mentally if it is not pos­sible to ask directly. If there are objections, just ask to do the ceremony on a spiritual level instead of physically in the earth. It is still very helpful.

What will happen

At the beginning , it helps clear all the old things that have been lodged there. I have seen a wide range of effects, some mild and some quite dramatic. It can help a lot of stuck energy. Once I did it for a place where I was renting. The landlady had a lot of difficult feelings about the place because her divorce hap­pened there. When I did the ceremony, she immediately felt so released she put it on the market and sold it within two weeks!

Animals and children often feel the relief immediately. It is good to let everyone know that some scary or heavy energy may be leaving in a hurry, and it is not personal, just now those things are relieved be­cause they have a place to go. The copper tubes are like a bathtub drain, and all the stuck things can move on. I have seen it help where bad illnesses or untimely deaths or animal slaughter have taken place.

After the backlog is taken care of, it helps clear things immediately and continu­ously. When you are having difficulty, like an argument or a nightmare, or just some negative thought pattern, send it to the copper tubes. Now it has a place to go, to the Earth, Gaia, who will cleanse, transform, and renew all energy. Everything that ever has happened or will happen in a place is like multiple expo­sures of a photograph. The copper tubes help keep those things from being cumulative, and then it is a lot easier to just deal with present time.

I first did this at a place I had just moved into, and saw how much more at ease my animal family was, and I could feel the relief. Then I went back and did it at the place I had just moved from, and there was a huge clearing there. Then one evening I did a ceremony where I etherically (spiritually) placed them around every place I had ever lived, everywhere I could think of, even hotels where I had stayed one night. It was remarkable the amount of energy that freed for me.

I would not even consider living or working in a place that has no copper tubes, at least etheric ones, now that I have experienced them. I have seen them re­lease stored anger, grief, and frustra­tion, free spirit beings to move on, and more. I wish you much delight and joy in this process. It can really clear the way to expe­rience all the wonderful energy that is there.
