Speaking of negative energy many of you may be raising your eyebrow and wondering what, exactly, “negative” means. It does not mean that you are under black magic or someone has cast a spell on you- not today, anyway (you know I like using my sarcasm)! In my world negative energy is a term that we use for any form of low, dense energy we and others around us experience or “pick up.” A situation or a person can trigger it as well as just being in a heavy area.
If you follow my work or know me in any way, I believe like attracts like and “negative” can be made into positive. So is the blending of your aura with someone else’s that may leave you feeling sluggish or sad, or the vibration you pick up in the office being around your over anxious co-workers, negative? Eh, it feels like shit but can be changed into a positive if you have good energetic self-care. The problem grows if you deny that you feel these things and start addictive behaviors to numb and not get a grip on your surroundings. Here are a few tips for positive self-care and clearing…
1. Water
Water is a natural cleanser and energizer. Place water in a spray bottle and enrich it with prayer or a cup full of Sea or Himalayan salt to enhance its cleansing properties. Cheap solution and yes, it does work magic and will wipe that black magic spell right out of your energy system! You can also charge the water by keeping it in the sunlight or moonlight. Spray it all around your home to cleanse the space or soak yourself in the water of a bath adding the above salts. You can use it at any time and a few baths a week will do your energetic field good justice. If you prefer showers, just use the spray bottle in the shower and intend that it is clearing your system.
2. Smudge with Sage
The rich smoke that arises while burning the dried sage leaves cleanses the space and your mind. Smudging with sage may also expel dense spirit energies and uplift your mood. It is one of the most popular energy cleansing tools spiritual practitioners use. It not only clears the space, but it also offers protection against denser energies in your space.
3. Using healing crystals
Black tourmaline and hematite is a great resource to help safeguard your field. It can deflect lower energies and psychic attacks (other people thinking not so fond things of you or wishing harm because they are pissy). I tell clients and family that stones work with intention but I truly do believe these two stones are great at neutralizing energies that aggravate our own.
4. Sound Therapy
Music is a healer and energy cleanser. It clears your mind. It cleanses the space. Find music that resonates with you and play it- dance your heart out! Native American drums, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Schumann Resonance, and Solfeggio Scale 417Hz are some of the sounds you could also experiment with. If those don’t sound fancy or intrigue you, your normal selection on the radio will do just fine!
5. Clear your life and space
Get rid of anything and everything that does not serve you!!! It could be relationships, beliefs, or objects. In simple words, anything that depletes or eats your energy away is clutter. Look around for such things in your home and your life. Yes this includes people, my dear! Look at your relationships and be transparent with yourself. Are they feeding or depleting your energy? When you clear your life and space, send grateful thoughts for the presence you are clearing and then release. De-cluttering could bring in enormous shifts in energy levels and well-being because you are opening yourself up for those things that work within your new vibration.
Other ways you could clear negative energies are:
Every situation is unique and different. Hence, removing the energies associated with them will also be unique. Feel free to mix and match the techniques and go with your intuition. You know what suits you the best.
Love & healing,
