What is the Spacious Way?

When I began my career as a space clearing practitioner and teacher in 1996, I was troubled by the growing epidemic of stress and stuff that has become the reality in our culture and our world. With all the resources and support available to us, I wondered why most clearing methods, though well intentioned, were falling short of helping people clear for good. Why did they always feel so tedious, onerous, and joyless? Why didn't they last?

It took me twenty years to break the code: to answer those questions, field-test them, and develop a whole new method that can address an epidemic that could bury us alive.

The result is the Spacious Way: a conscious distillation of space clearing, modern science, mindfulness, and kaizen: the Japanese concept of small steps leading to big changes through continuous improvement. Blended together, they work to release physical, mental, emotional, and energetic clutter—from the inside out.

Instead of “attacking” the stress, “getting rid” of the stuff, and “overcoming” the overwhelm, as most methods teach, the Spacious Way works more gently to release the underlying causes—the patterns, resistances, and attachments—of anything that holds us back. One minute of “slow drip” clearing morphs into more minutes, less effort, and less baggage. It promotes a calmer nervous system, a quieter mind, more ease, more space, more light, more joy.

The Spacious Way changes the paradigm from effort to ease. It offers a whole new way to clear that is simple, feels good, and lasts.

And yes, it's a game changer.¹
