Clearing Negativity From Your Home

Clearing Negativity From Your Home

Negative energy also known as bad vibes can linger in your home without you knowing. Bad vibes are created by negative experiences that become blocked in the aura of people, animals and things. Before you let someone or something in your home, remove all the old negative experiences that have connected to them.

1) Inviting Unfavorable Guests into the Home
This is the number one reason of why people have negative vibes in their home. Often we let our family into the home even though they are unkind to us or our immediate family. To have a home of harmony you need to meet your family members at restaurants or another neutral place, so there bad energy does not drift into your home and stay for undisclosed amount of time. Eg. Do not let the family member that sexual abused you in your youth to appease the elders in your family.

2) Ashes from a Deceased Loved One
The death of a loved one is very difficult and often we want to hold onto their ashes for comfort. Their ashes need to be freed to allow you to begin a new chapter in your life. As well, loved ones stay with us until we are ready to let go. As difficult as it is we must let their energy soar and this cannot happen if their ashes are enclosed in a container sitting on your fireplace.

3) Trophy Animals
Trophy animals should not be in the home. Yes, the person who killed the animal feels a victory but the dead animal is stagnant and dead energy. Animals should be killed for survival not to demonstrate our strength.

4) Dried Flowers
Dried flowers are big business but they carry negative energy. The flowers are dead, their vital chi has swirled into the air. Dried flowers are big dust collectors that need to be out of the home.

5) Gifts From Negative Family Members or Friends.
Presents come in all sizes and shapes and we graciously accept all gifts. Only accept gifts given from the heart. Years ago, we had a housewarming party and everybody was kind enough to bring us a gift. However, a few of my husband's friends were not fond of me and every time I used their gifts I felt angry because their gift was not given with love. I have been donating all expensive and inexpensive gifts that are not given by the heart to my family.

6) Other People's Junk
How many times has someone offered to give you their used sofa or some old books? Decline, decline and decline again. Often we accept the other people's junk because we fear not having enough. I accepted old jackets from a family member because I felt guilty if I did not accept. They stayed in my basement and every time I cleared out my basement, I resented these gifts because they were throw aways. Sometimes it is okay to reuse items from friends but never accept out of fear.

7) Pictures Depicting Violence
Violence is prevalent in our society. We sell pictures of serial killers, car crashes and other disturbing events. No pictures in the home should depict violence. No pictures of great wars, violent movies or anything that illustrates negative experiences.

8) Violent Music
Music can create harmony or chaos in the home. Many teenagers will listen to violent music. Violent music is about the sound and not always the words. Before you purchase music does it uplift, relax or make you feel chaotic and uncomfortable. You want music in the home that will inspire or relax the soul not create disequilibrium.

9) Furniture From Unknown Source
Furniture is an expensive purchase and often we will buy them at second hand stores. Soft furniture such as sofas and beds hold the energies of past experiences. Beds should never be used by others as all their issues will begin to become a part of your life.

10) Stolen Items
Have you ever bought an item that fell off the back of the truck? As tempting as it may be it is the wrong thing to do because you save money but at what cost. The stolen items give off bad vibes because several people were affected by the item being sold. Only buy items you know come from a reputable source.



SPACE CLEARING
Space Clearing is the removal of old, stagnant and blocked energies. Energy is swirling around us at all times and its qualities are either depressing, uplifting or stagnant. You want to clear the energies in the home on a weekly basis to remove the old residues and have room for fresh and vibrant energy.

Here's How:
Clean a room or the entire home before you do space clearing.

Try and limit the clutter in the rooms.

Clean yourself before you do a space clearing to remove energy residues on yourself. Wear comfortable clothing and clear your mind. Let the mind be free of thought especially the negative ones.

Open the windows of the home even on those cold wintery days or hot summer days.

Buy a sage bundle or stick from a natural health store or healing center. Buy a good quality sage stick, the artificial ones do not take the stagnant and old energy out of the home.

If you are doing one room go from one side to the other making figure 8's in the air with the sage stick. Please have a fireproof container under the sage stick to hold the ashes from the sage stick.

Make the figure 8's as you are asking the old energies to leave the room. The open window will allow the old/stagnant energies to attach to the sage and disperse to the outside where it will regenerate.

After the room you may do the rest of the rooms in the home, or extinguish the sage stick.

Once the room or home is saged, you may infuse a different scent to uplift or neutralize the air. Scents are able to transform the room for you and your family needs.

Saging is a good practice because it removes old and stagnant energies to leave room for vibrant and fresh energy to transform the life areas.

Tips:
Be in good spirits before you sage a room.
Sage a room after a fight or when someone is ill.
Sage weekly to remove stagnant energies.

You can say something like:

Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
Through divine love and light,
I call upon your great might,
To open this space for your noble charge.

Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
I set forth this light of protection
for securing my home and hearth.

Great Spirits, (God/Goddess name)
I set forth this protective shield
to guard this home and those who enter
from outside influences this home is sealed.

Happy space clearing!
