From Clearing Space To Clearing Vision

We’ve talked about how your outer environment holds energy and how a cluttered room often creates a cluttered spirit. Most people overlook that environment isn’t just physical. It’s also mental.

You can sage your home, light candles, and open the windows, but if your mind is still buzzing with worry, judgment, or unfinished thoughts, the atmosphere will feel just as heavy. That’s why, before we step into deeper practices like scrying, we must first prepare both the outer and the inner landscape.

Clearing the Inner Space

One of the simplest yet most powerful tools for this is what I call the Word Dump. A technique I learned from a good friend. Think of it as a reset button for your mind.

The Word Dump Exercise (2 Minutes):

1. Grab a sheet of paper and a pen.

2. Set a timer for two minutes.

3. Write down everything that flows through your head, words, feelings, random thoughts, even nonsense. Don’t censor it, don’t judge it. Just release.

4. When the timer stops, take a breath. Fold the paper or rip it up.

This act is symbolic, it tells your mind, “I’ve emptied the junk drawer. I’ve made space for Spirit.”

By clearing mental noise, you quiet the static that blocks your inner vision. And that’s when the real work begins.

Entering the Practice of Scrying

With your inner and outer space prepared, you’re ready to explore one of the most transformative practices I know: scrying—the art of seeing beyond the physical.

Scrying has been practiced across cultures for thousands of years. At its core, it is the act of gazing into a reflective surface, water, flame, a crystal ball, or a mirror, allowing your focus to soften until images, impressions, or insights emerge.

Here’s what’s important to understand: the tool is not the source of the vision. The tool is only the doorway. The insight, the clarity, the wisdom,it all flows from within you, guided by Spirit.

Preparing Yourself to See

When approaching scrying, preparation is everything. Here’s a framework to keep your practice grounded and safe:

* Ground yourself – Take several slow, intentional breaths to anchor your energy.

* Set your intention – Call on Spirit, God, your Guides, or simply your higher self. Align with clarity and truth.

* Choose your tool – A bowl of water, the flame of a candle, a mirror, or a crystal ball. Pick what feels natural.

* State your purpose – Speak aloud the question or guidance you are seeking.

* Enter with openness – Don’t chase visions. Allow images, symbols, and feelings to arise in their own time.

And when impressions come? Write them down. Spirit often speaks in layers, what doesn’t make sense today may reveal its meaning tomorrow.

Beyond Labels

Many hear the word scrying and immediately think “fortune-telling.” But that’s not what this practice is about. Scrying isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about clearing the lens of your inner vision.

Think of it like wiping the dust off a mirror. The reflection isn’t new, it was always there but now you can finally see it clearly.

And here’s where it becomes universal:

* To a Christian, this might look like meditating on scripture until new understanding arises.

* To a Muslim, it can resemble dhikr—remembrance of God in silence and repetition.

* To an atheist, it may be seen as accessing the subconscious mind, bypassing the noise of daily thought.

The language shifts, but the essence remains: quiet the mind, focus the vision, and allow truth to surface.

The Deeper Lesson

Scrying is less about “magic” and more about mastery of awareness. It teaches discipline of attention, surrender to Spirit, and the courage to face what is reflected back.

Your environment matters.
Your mind matters.
Your intention matters.

When all three align, you create the conditions for vision. You create space for Spirit to meet you where you are and show you what you’re ready to see.

Reflection Prompts

Take a few minutes after reading to ground yourself and write. These prompts will help you integrate what we’ve covered today:

1. Outer Space: What in my environment feels heavy or cluttered right now? What one action can I take today to clear it?

2. Inner Space: When I did (or imagine doing) the Word Dump, what thoughts or feelings came up that surprised me?

3. Vision: If I could see one truth more clearly in my life right now, about myself, my path, or my relationships, what would I want it to be?

Remember, Spirit doesn’t ask for perfection. Spirit asks for presence. Every time you choose to clear, to breathe, to open, that is where transformation begins.
