After a reading, it is important that you clear the space that you did the reading in of any energy left from the client. Even positive energy will potentially disrupt any subsequent readings that you may do.
Often the client leaves intense emotional and psychic energy behind. A reading can often bring emotions and uncomfortable issues to the fore and you, as the reader do not want this to 'stick' to you.
If you have done several readings, there tends to be a build up which needs to be cleansed and cleared both from the reading area and your own energy field.

Smudging
Smudging is method to help cleanse the aura and work area of unwanted energy. This requires you to burn sacred herbs such as white sage, lavender, rosemary, perhaps even eucalyptus, and then blow out the flame and use the smoke to cleanse.A small bowl, often ceramic in nature, (although any vessel which is fire proof and doesn’t get too hot will do) is used in order to avoid any cinders escaping. Needless to say, you do not want to burn the place down!!
Flower Essences
Make up a spray of appropriate flower essences to spray when the client leaves. I use a few drops of Bach Rescue Remedy with Crab Apple added to a spray bottle. But use which ever blends and brands work best for you.
Cleansing the Reading Area
To cleanse the area before the start of your reading and afterwards, you may use several methods. Make sure that you air the room thoroughly by opening the doors and windows. Allow the breeze to blow through. A white candle will help burn off negative energy during the reading and therefore helps to make the cleansing afterwards easier.
Crystals
There are many crystal you can use, some to ground you and others to help cleanse the area. Again personal preference comes into this but remember that crystals can have a powerful effect on clients and the readings the cards can give so perhaps wearing a small quartz would be the least offensive.
Cleansing Your Cards
Cards also soak up unwanted energy. Reshuffling the deck maybe enough, but sometimes returning the deck to it's complete order - The Fool to King of Pentacles will be necessary.
Sometimes I use a different deck for each client, or alternate two decks. At the end of the day remember to cleanse them thoroughly with your crystals, smudging, salt or placing them in a singing bowl. Wrap them in their silk cloth or bag overnight.

Music/Toning Cleansing
Putting on some boppy music up loud (if that is your preference) helps to blow away the cobwebs - spiritually speaking that is!! The loud vibrations from your favorite music creates positive energy which fills the room to the corners.
This also applies to the use of any toning implements; such as the use of Tibetan Prayer Bells, singing bowls, talking bells - where you run a wooden implement round the base of the bell or the rim of the dish to produce a vibrating tone which hums through your body and the immediate area. It has a clearing effect.
Sacred Symbols
Dropping sacred symbols in the reading area also helps to cleanse the room. You may use symbols from any healing modality that you are familiar with - their positive vibrations all help to eliminate unwanted energy.Another favorite method is to create a spiritual universal vacuum cleaner. Using the Che Ki Rei; symbol (Reiki symbol) and visualization, you can create a vacuum cleaner which automatically sucks up negative energy and removes it, turns it into positive energy.
Living Plants
Some readers like to place plants to suck up unwanted energy. Plants and animals can be attuned to Reiki energy and this gives them a certain amount of protection but they must also be cleansed properly - just as we have a bath or cleansing method for us, so must they be cleansed or you run the risk of them becoming unwell.
So in conclusion, remember that cleansing of the reading area and you, the reader, is just as vital as giving a clear and un-polluted reading to your client. Therefore there will be no transference of negative energy from one client to another, or client to the reader.

This is such a good post! Many of my clients who are Tarot readers and other psychic healers come to me exhausted and depressed by energy from their clients which they haven't cleansed themselves of enough.
In our busy schedules it's easy to forget so that you for reminding us all to take care of ourselves!!
