Clear Negative Energy from Your Home with Effective Tips

Spring is just around the corner, and it will soon be time to clean out all of the cobwebs and dust that have accumulated in the dark corners all winter. But, while you are at it, don’t forget to clear out all of the negative energy in your home at the same time.

Our homes are an extension of our own thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Have you ever walked into a home and just noticed the heaviness in the air? Maybe someone was ill, or there was some arguing going on. Our homes are where secrets lie. It’s often where we let go of our emotions and where we air our “dirty laundry.” It should be a safe place, so we tend to let it all out in our homes where no one else can see us.

How do you know you have negative energy in your home?

Are you…?

Feeling a little off
Finding yourself complaining a lot
Trying to find your voice
Not in the mood to go anywhere
Confused about how to reach your goals?

That negative energy can build up just like dust or grime and needs to be cleared out. Just like changing the batteries in your fire alarms, make it a habit every time you spring clean.

Open your windows

Just letting some fresh air in can immediately alter any heaviness. You could also use a broom or your hands to “shoo” the negative energy out. Imagine it all going out the window.

Crystals

Place crystals around your home.

According to an article on Power of Positivity, here are 5 that will do the trick.

Black Tourmaline acts like a sponge that absorbs negative energy and offers protection.
Amethyst carries with it a strong ability to purify and protect the space and cleanse any heavy energy in one’s aura.
Fire Agate is a fiery stone that can make you feel more alive and give you a sense of purpose, which will help to dispel negative energies.
Jet Stone carries with it an energy of great strength and protection to those who wear it. It is also used to prevent psychic attacks and remove negative energies from your aura that have been embedded from exposure to others’ energies.
Obsidian is a highly spiritual stone, carrying with it great metaphysical powers. It protects against negative entities, and your aura will quickly become purified.

Houseplants

Plants are a natural filter for negative energy. Having houseplants or even small bouquets of fresh flowers can help. Lavender, eucalyptus, and white sage are powerful energy clearing plants.

Burn incense

You probably thought I was going to start with this one. When I think of clearing negative energy, I picture a spiritual healer dressed in robes and lots of bracelets walking around the house with burning sage humming mantras. Well, nowadays, there are ways for you to do this yourself.

I bought all of my kids some Palo Santo Incense Sticks for Christmas. Palo Santo is often used for purification and is said to possess healing and cleansing powers. They all used it to clear their homes. I used mine to change the energy in my office. Here is another option for burning Palo Santo. Click the link to check it out.

Re-arrange Furniture

Mix things up. Give yourself new views or vantage points. Create newness without having to spend any money. You could also swap out pillows or decorations with brighter, lighter feeling ones.

Get rid of clutter

Clear out all of the piles you may have been accumulating over the winter—extra papers, magazines, books, heavy coats, boots, etc. Do a seasonal purge of your closet. Make sure you love the decorations in your home. Do the Marie Kondo method and make sure you love everything you have displayed. If not, it goes!

Remove or repair things that are broken

This may have already been taken care of while you were uncluttering, but be sure to remove, repair, or replace anything that is not working. Broken, unreliable pieces in your home do not attract a peaceful, loving atmosphere.

Have fun and bring love into your house

Once your house is clean and cleared, do a happy dance with your favorite music blaring! Or have a party and invite your favorite people. Use your house as a positive, high-energy place for lots of love to flood in.

Don’t forget to clear your own energy too. All of this can only work if you are also working on not bringing more negative energy into your home. By all means, use your home as a safe place to express emotions, but also be aware if you are letting it linger.
