5 Ways to Remove Negative Energy

Spiritually speaking, there are different forms of energy available to us at any given time. Our personal energy and vibration is not fixed. It will fluctuate at different frequencies, based on many factors such as our mood, our surroundings and our energy intake. Being caught up in negative energy can look different for everyone. For some, it may look like they're having a bad day; for others, it may look like they've been struggling for years.

Energy is ever changing, and when we realise we have control over our energy, it changes the game entirely. We realise that we don't have to sit in or simply accept low vibrational or heavy energy. We can raise our frequency and we can shift the energy of ourselves and our environment.

5 Tips to Cleanse Your Energy

Below, I will share five ways that you can cleanse your space and your energy; allowing you to feel lighter, think more clearly and see results where previously you may have been stuck. It's important to remember that spiritual cleansing should be performed regularly, just like regular hygiene practices.

You don't need to wait for the energy to build up before you decide to do something about it. Regular cleansings of the home, either weekly or monthly, will most certainly improve your quality of life, health and relationships.

1. Cleaning and Organising

Many people aren't aware that we are a reflection of our environment and vice versa. If you have noticed a slump in your energy recently, it may be time to spring clean or declutter your home. Cleaning and organising are wonderful ways to shift and spruce up the energy of your environment, and in turn, to elevate your energy and vibration as well.

Cleaning and clearing up things in our physical environment has a huge impact on us, in terms of sleep, mental clarity and emotional and physical wellbeing. When your space is clean and organised, your energy will naturally improve, and good vibes will be easier to maintain.

Feng Shui Tips to Enhance Energy Flow

It's no secret that the Chinese practice of Feng Shui can improve different areas of one's life. Using Feng Shui in your home or office allows for a better flow of Chi so that there is no stuck or dirty energy present. This can include rearranging furniture, using specific colours, enhancing certain directional points, using statues and more.

The practice of Feng Shui is not easy though. True Feng Shui takes time to learn, and there are many different viewpoints and divisions to learn from. So it's very important to do extensive research before just following someone's ideas or advice. Using the wrong elements or placements in your home or office could be devastating to your finances, love life or health.

2. Using Plants and Nature

Having plants in the home or even having a garden where you can get back to nature is very helpful in uplifting and grounding one's energy. Not everyone is lucky enough to have grass to walk on or a garden to sit in, but bringing the outside in by using plants in your décor is a great way to shift the energy in your home.

Plants not only transform CO2, they are also great at alchemising the vibrational energy around them. Do some research as to what plants you could use to transform your space and invite positive energy into your home and your life.

Plants to Absorb Negative Energy

Here are some plant options to help raise the vibe of your space -

• Sage

• Rosemary

• Lavender

• Patchouli

• Hyssop

• Basil

• Jasmine

• Aloe

• Mugwort

Please note; dead, dried or fake plants will not help in absorbing or protecting against negative energies. Live plants in the home are best.

3. Sound to Shift Energy

Using sound in our spiritual practices is not a new concept; this tool has been available to us since the dawn of man. Sound, voice, and instruments are all tools used for activating and clearing energy. Of course, sounds have their own frequencies too, so the music you listen to in private and the background songs you play at home will all have an impact on your personal energetic frequency.

Listening to low vibrational, profane or chaotic music will naturally negatively affect you and your environment. It will bring the vibe down, which will be evident within your environment as well as your thoughts, mood and temperament. Listening to or playing high-frequency music, happy beats or even prayers, for example, will elevate the energy surrounding you and your home.

If you don't like music, then simply saying prayers or mantras aloud, and even clapping your hands loudly as you walk around the home, can also shift and alter the energy and get things moving in the right direction again.

Music to Raise the Vibe

Certain instruments can and will raise your vibration. If this is more your thing, you can find videos on YouTube and allow these to play in your home -

• Singing bowls

• Harp

• Violin

• Gong

• Flute

• Bells

• Tuning Fork

Leave music playing while you're out or at home. You can also leave music to play softly while falling asleep. Here are some other options for music to raise the vibe -

• Gospel

• Frequency Music

• Celtic

• Meditations

• Classical

• Christmas Songs

• Prayers read aloud

• Gregorian Chants

• Buddhist Monks

4. Salt to Cleanse Your Energy

The spiritual power of salt has long been known, yet this simple tool is often overlooked. Salt can be used in various ways to cleanse oneself of negative energy. It can also be placed in the home to absorb unwanted energies or to ward off spiritual attacks.

Using salt in your bath is a great way to cleanse yourself. This practice is known as a spiritual bath. While there are many variations and intentions behind spiritual baths, you can choose how simple or elaborate your mixture will be.

Adding salt to your floor wash/cleaning water when cleaning your home is also a good idea to clear your space of energetic debris. Using salt in this way at least once a week will assist in cleansing and clearing negative or stagnant energies from you and your home.

Spiritual Bath or Floor Wash Recipes

To make a spiritual bath or floor wash, use 1 or 2 cups coarse salt, pink salt or sea salt as a base. Then add the carefully selected herbs, oils or other dried ingredients that you feel cater to your cause and intention.

When making a spiritual bath, be very careful about what ingredients you are using; when it comes to the skin, natural is always best! Some herbs or oils may cause an allergic reaction if you are using them for the first time. Some ingredients may also have unwanted or unexpected reactions when mixed.

The same goes for making a floor wash; if you have babies or pets in the home, be sure to keep them in mind when picking your ingredients. Do your research and use with caution.

5. Using Sage or Smudging

Using Sage or other types of smoke to cleanse your space has become more popular in recent years. Indigenous people, however, have known about the power of these tools and have been using them for centuries.

There are different types of Sage native to various regions or countries, which are also associated with alternative uses and intentions. So, before you go and spend a fortune on the ever-popular 'White Sage', do your research and see what plant resonates with you and your current needs, as well as what is most affordable and accessible to you based on where you live.

Dangers of Sage or Smudging

The act of smudging a home or a person is not as simple as waving around a lit bundle of herbs, it does require you to be crystal clear about your intentions and what you are trying to achieve. Another important factor, often overlooked, is one's faith and connection to a higher power. If you are not calling on God or a Divine being of light, then how are you planning to eradicate the darkness?

Just as with other spiritual practices, there are risks involved when one decides to do a cleansing using Sage, Palo Santo or other smudging tools. If there is negative energy or an entity present, these tools will essentially smoke it out, naturally causing a reaction, where things will escalate. That's what most do not understand about these techniques; the Sage doesn't get rid of the entity, it riles them up and brings them out so that YOU, as the person doing the ritual (with the help of a higher power), can then usher it out and clear the space.

When things go wrong and people start a cleansing ritual but do not complete it, due to fear or other distractions, a door is left open, and a battle has essentially started that these individuals then have no clue how to navigate or win on their own.

Important To Remember

Whatever spiritual exercises, techniques or practices you would like to try, make sure you are entering into these knowing as much as you can. Be clear about what you are trying to achieve and be intentional about what you are doing and why. There's no point using Sage or any other tools, because you saw a video on TikTok... no good will come of that. When it comes to spirituality, you need to do your research and be prepared for any situation. Do not simply follow others blindly. This is not to scare you, but rather to inform you, so that you get the best out of your spiritual practices.

*On a side note, please be mindful about who and what you are watching on social media and as entertainment in general. Negative energy and even entities can be transferred through movies, games, vlogs, music, readings, etc.
