Clear Home, Clear Heart
Praise for Clear Home, Clear Heart
“Jean Haner is a brilliant intuitive who had to learn in the
laboratory of her own body what she teaches here in Clear Home,
Clear Heart—and you will be the beneficiary. Many more people
are challenged by the energies around them than is generally
recognized. This book is a gem, helping you to not only become
aware of these energies but also know what to do about them.
And I am so relieved that I can recommend this book to body
workers and healers who often ‘pick up’ energy from their clients.”
—Donna Eden, author of Energy Medicine: Balancing
Your Body’s Energies for Optimal Health, Joy, and Vitality and co-
author of The Energies of Love: Keys to a Fulfilling Partnership

this book is a must read. I’ve personally worked with Jean Haner
with great results, and her magnificent book is a must-have if you

—Robin Ray Green, L.Ac., MTCM, author of
Heal Your Child from the Inside Out:

everything you could possibly need to know in order to emanci-
pate yourself from the negative energy that holds you back.”
—Radleigh Valentine, best-selling co-author of
Angel Tarot Cards, Fairy Tarot Cards,
and The Big Book of Angel Tarot
“We all desire excellent health and happy homes, and most of us
put regular effort into creating both. But sometimes we fall short
of our goals for no apparent reason. Why isn’t the diet working?
Why do we always fight in the same room? Why do we repeat
the same pattern again and again? In her new book, Clear Home,
Clear Heart, Jean Haner explains that stuck energy could be the
culprit and offers easy ways to address it using the ancient Chi-
nese Five Elements. Engaging and to the point, I strongly recom-
mend this book as a must-read for anyone interested in improving
their health, environment, and
life in general.”
—Vicki Matthews, author/blogger at Ask Vicki:
Relationship Remedies Using the Five Elements
“Jean Haner has a rare gift of linking the practical and the sa-
cred. She opens up a world and guides us effortlessly through it.
The information in Clear Home, Clear Heart is inspiring, empow-
ering and accessible; the techniques are life changing.”
—Virginia Bell, author of Midlife Is Not a Crisis: Using
Astrology to Thrive in the Second Half of Life
“Jean Haner’s book was refreshing in that up until now I’ve al-
ways considered clearing to be something that was done for me
rather than by me. I didn’t consider that I could learn this process
and put it to use for myself and others. “Of particular interest to
me is the connection Jean made to mindfulness and that one can
learn to clear and immediately let go of the emotions or feelings
that come up. I’ve recommended Jean’s book to a friend who is
extremely sensitive to other people’s energy; it will be a wonderful
tool in the development of her ability to cope with particularly toxic
people as well as the day-to-day situations she finds herself in.”

About the Author
INTRODUCTION
By age 16, Alex was already very spiritual. He’d recently started waking up an hour earlier each day so he could meditate and do yoga in his room before breakfast. But something, he felt, was really wrong with him.
Every morning, after he finished his hour of meditation and yoga, he felt wonderful—clear, in balance, and full of joy. He’d then head out his bedroom door and down a long hallway through the house to the kitchen, where his mother had breakfast waiting. However, by the time he sat down at the kitchen table, all the joy was melting away. He would start feeling heavy and tired—and so upset with himself! What was going on with him that he couldn’t hold that great feeling for more than five minutes?
But there was nothing “wrong” with Alex that made him unable to maintain the lovely state of mind he reached in his room each morning. It was just that he was being weighed down by the residue of negative emotions that filled the rest of the house. As he walked down that long, narrow hallway to the kitchen, he left behind the clear energy he’d created in his bedroom and immersed himself in the energy of his home. With each step, he was more and more affected by the invisible vibrations held in the house—of his father’s stress, his mother’s worries, his sister’s teenage drama, his older brother’s depression.
Every time you have a thought or feeling, it doesn’t just evaporate into nothing. Instead, you make a little deposit of that energy into your environment. And over time, these deposits can gradually build up, like invisible house dust, to form a thick layer in the space. It’s like a cloud of whatever you’ve been feeling every time you pass there. If the feelings you’re having are positive ones, those will accumulate and increase the possibility that every time you’re there, you’ll feel happy again. But if the thoughts or feelings are stressed or negative ones, those will build up as well, making it more likely that you’ll continue to feel like that each time you’re in that place.
For example, if you feel a moment of anxiety as you approach your front door to leave each morning, worrying if you’ve forgotten anything or nervous about what the day will bring, you leave a little imprint of that anxious feeling in that spot. And if, when you come back through the door each night, you heave a big sigh as you offload the stress from the day, that also makes a little deposit in that same area. If you do this day after day, month after month, then over time it accumulates and compounds. Then every time you walk through that spot, you’re influenced by what’s already hanging in that cloud, and you’ll be more likely to have those feelings again. This can keep you locked into repetitive patterns of emotions without your even being aware of it.
In every environment, there’s an energy held there from what the people in that space have experienced. Have you ever walked int
o a room where there’s just been an argument and felt like the atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife? Or have you ever entered a room and it just didn’t feel right? You wanted to turn around and leave but you couldn’t explain why? These are the same kinds of things.
Further, it’s not just the leftover “stuff” in the places in which we spend time that is affecting us. The subtle energy of the people we’re with each day also plays a huge part in influencing how we feel. Have you ever considered that one of the reasons you may feel so tired after a trip to the shopping mall or a day at the office is because you’re worn out from having to deal with the energy of all those people around you?
We are open systems in constant communication with the invisible world around us. Our thoughts, emotions, and physiology are all far more affected than we realize by the subtle vibrations of the people we live and work with and the environments we move through. For the most part, this experience is a daily stressor for us—but it doesn’t have to be that way! This book will show you what you can do when you encounter energy that’s out of balance, whether it’s from a person or a place. Rather than be negatively impacted, you can clear this energy, return it to a balanced and healthy state of flow, and prevent yourself from being stressed as well.
I used to be quite reticent about bringing up the subject of “energy” with people, especially the more skeptical, left-brained types—which I actually am as well! However, throughout my 30 years of study, research, and experience in working with the energy of people and environments, I’ve found that nearly everyone I speak with is actually thirsting for permission to talk about how they’re affected by energy, and searching for some language to describe what’s actually happening to them. This is why I feel this book is so necessary: to make this information more available to those who are yearning to deepen and develop their understanding of what’s going on in the invisible world around them and how to cope in healthy ways.
Do You Leak Your Feelings?
It’s not only the outside world (the people around us and the places we inhabit) that can affect our emotions and experiences. We have a whole inner world that can do so, and this energy can need clearing too.
For an example, let’s look at my client Lisa. In her case, you could say she doesn’t so much absorb energy as leak it. You can see the effects of this energy leak in the story of her week, which she described as “disaster after disaster!”
