There’s a cop­per tube fully buried, next to this Lava Heart in Lit­tle Shasta

What you need

• Four 18” Cop­per Tubes
• A good hammer
• Some­thing to pre-​​drill a hole in the ground if nec­es­sary (a piece of rebar works great)
  
• 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.
