What Is Negative Energy

I have written a couple of articles about negative energy. You might say everything has been explained there. However, the truth is different. People are still annoyed with negative energy and are seeking new solutions. It is very challenging to remove negative energy for good.

Usually, negative energy impedes your happiness, satisfaction, joy, love, health, and abundance.

You might say, ‘Is it worth the trouble?’ It will be dirty again.’ But if you leave negativity untouched, you enter the downhill spiral: energy vampires, negative entities, thought forms, and malicious attacks of evil forces. I do not want to scare you; this happens in extreme cases. Let’s look at the benefits of cleansing the energy of your house:

  • Balance your chakras
  • Improve your mental health
  • Improve the quality of your sleep
  • Improve your physical health
  • Strengthen your aura
  • Raise motivation
  • Helps work more efficiently
  • Attracts more positive people

How To Cleanse Negative Energy from the House

As always, you must prepare a good strategy for removing negative energy from your house. Saying ‘I let it go’ is not enough here, especially after a long time of negligence of your space. Here are 3 steps that you need to follow:

1. Set an Intention

Ask yourself: Why do I want my house liberated from negative energy? Then write down an intention, for example like this:
“Let all negative energy go of my house here and now.”

2. Plan Your Actions

Firstly, look at what exactly must be removed: Dirt? Negative thoughts? Toxic relationships? Anything else? Realise that you will not do everything in one day if your life and house have been neglected for years. The plan then and “little-by-little” is the best approach here. Take your calendar and set small, workable goals and tasks. Commit to doing them, though.

3. Act

Now, let’s check how to remove negative energy from your home.
I have divided the ways of cleansing your house into physical, metaphysical and spiritual ones:

The Physical Tools
These are obvious. For those who are sceptical about spirituality but want to improve the quality of their life in their space.

3.1. Air Everything Out

Negative energy likes to stay in stale rooms and houses. Hence, the easiest way to clear negative energy from your home is by letting it all air out. Open your windows to let in the fresh air. For better results, turn on fans to circulate the air. Moreover, all closed doors of wardrobes or drawers should be opened to release trapped energy. Leaving the house during this process and burning some incense or sage upon your return is recommended.

3.2. Clear the Clutter Out

Clutter is one of our homes’ most prominent sources of stagnant energy and stress. It makes your room unwelcoming and uncomfortable and destroys the peace of your mind and that of everyone who can look at it.

And I do not only mean removing the physical objects. Think of all unfinished business (the mental clutter) and equipment (digital clutter – computers, phones). Take each item and answer the following questions:

  • What items do you really love and use?
  • What items do you only use occasionally? Do you need them?
  • Can they be replaced by something else or stored away?
    If you are not ready to remove a given item, put it in the storage room.

3.3. Add Houseplants

Healthy (and well-kept) houseplants create an environment of calmness and peace. They bring happiness, help purify the air, and make your home atmosphere more energized and vibrant. However, be careful if you have children, pets, or cats, as some plants are poisonous.

3.4. Add Mirrors

These objects are frequently used in Feng Shui to direct and shift the energy flow in your home.

Hence, strategically placing one or more mirrors around your house can bring brightness into your space, increase light, and make the room feel lighter and more spacious by creating a warm and cosy ambience.

However, ensure the mirror reflects something positive in your home and avoid placing it in the bedroom.

3.5. Lighten Up Your Space

Dark places attract feelings of depression and anxiety. Lighten up your living space by painting the walls a more vivid colour and adding art and decoration of bright colours.
They will help bring happiness and joy back into your home. Also, remember to have enough light at night and sometimes remove physical obstacles (trees) to attract more sunlight.

The Metaphysical Tools:
These tools concern energy work. You improve its flow and quality.

3.6. Place Crystals

Many people worldwide use healing crystals to cleanse and protect their bodies, homes, and businesses. Some masters recommend using them at the end of the purification practice.

You can place a crystal anywhere in your home where you need to remove negative energies or attract positive ones, but some do not like direct sunlight (the Rose Quartz, Citrine or Amethyst – they will lose their colour).
Use protective gemstones such as Hematite, Obsidian, Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Fluoride, Tiger’s Eye, and Citrine.

3.7. Create a Home Altar

It is a simple but powerful way to bring positivity and devotion into your home. The altar should contain objects representing good luck, abundance, prosperity, health, or protection.

But beware: never put anything on your altar that you would not want to receive. You can create a home altar with crystals, candles, incense, pictures, statues, books, flowers, and other items that represent what you desire in your life.
Always keep your altar clean and clutter-free.

3.8. Burn Incense

Incense is a great way to clear out negative energies. Burn a cone or stick to release any bad vibes and toxic energy to leave your space feeling refreshed.

Palo Santo is a fragrant wood from South America that can be burned as incense because it is a vigorous energy cleanser. Burn one end of a stick, blow it out, and let the smoke spread through your room. If you do not have Palo Santo, try Wood Sandal instead.

3.9. Do a Simple Smudging Ritual

The sage smudge ritual is an excellent way to remove negativity around your house. Burn a dried sage bundle to cleanse your room or entire home.
When burned properly, White Sage releases negative energies. Let the bundle burn for 10-20 seconds, then blow it out. Be careful not to catch fire.

3.10 Light Candles

Candles have long been associated with healing and spirituality. They can be lit to enhance meditation or other spiritual practices. Place them around your home to improve the overall ambience and fill it with good energy. Never leave the candles unattended or let them burn out completely.

3.11. Salt the Corners of Each Room

Salt is also a good purifier. When the energy feels blocked in your house or room, try sprinkling a small amount of salt in the corners of each room. You can combine it with lighting a candle at the same time.

The next day, when the candles have burned out, sweep or wipe up the salt and throw it away, visualizing you tossing out the bad vibes. You can use one or more salt lamps to purify the air and space in your room.

3.12. Ring a Bell or Gong

Ringing a bell or gong in your room quickly and easily clear out bad energy. The sound will vibrate through your entire house to release any negativity.
Tibetan singing bowls are the most often used for clearing out bad vibes and welcoming positive influences. If you do not have the bells, play the music, e.g., on your phone instead, and walk around each room.

Of course, you can meditate to calm your mind and create good vibes in your home. The choice is yours. In any case, meditation will help you attract positivity to your home.

3.14. Raise Personal Vibrations

Keep your mind positive. Always think pleasant thoughts about your space. Cleanse yourself after returning from work or the town to remove the negative energy of places and people. Never use filthy language, hexes, maledictions, or curses.

3.15. Avoid Visits of Toxic People

This may be the hardest, but it is an indispensable step to reduce the poisoning of your space. If you have to see a toxic person or are unsure of their intentions (e.g., a postman), always purify your space by lighting candles or salt.
