Clearing Your Home Of Negativity

Cleansing removes bad vibes and provides healing and soothing where ever there has been violence, excessive anger, humiliation and defilement.

Any area may be cleansed. From a table top altar area, the inside of a magick circle, to an entire home or office building. When cleansing a large area, certain spots are believed to require extra care and attention. Vulnerable areas include: doors, windows, and other thresholds such as mirrors. Corners, especially dark ones, and the area behind a door, especially one that is consistently propped open, are considered favorite resting spots for malevolent spirits as are dark closets, bathrooms, under beds and any area that feels creepy. Anyone actively involved in the space cleaning process or exposed to the cleansing materials automatically receives personal cleansing as well although certain personal cleansing methods cast a more direct and intensive spell.

Regular spiritual house clearings are also important to remove any negative energies that may be hanging around. You'd be amazed at how that stuff likes to linger. Negative energy can often linger in a dwelling, causing all kinds of problems, from fatigue to appliance failure. If you've just moved into a new home or if your home has a negative feel to it, it's a good idea to spiritually cleanse it of all unwanted influences. In fact, it's a good idea to do this frequently in your home, whether you sense negative energy or not. First clean your home physically, getting it as uncluttered as possible, especially in the corners. Sweep or vacuum the floors, removing all dust and dirt. This is an important step, don't skip it. Once this is done you will want to take a cleansing shower or bath to remove any negativity from yourself. Prepare a small bowl of warm water and dissolve some sea salt in it. Before you begin washing, hold the bowl of salt water in your hands and charge it with white light. Ask to be purified of all negative energies and entities. Pour the salt water over yourself from head to foot. Visualize white light energy removing all negativity, then continue with your shower like usual. Once you are through showering, take a small black and white chime or taper candle and bind them together with a piece of wire. Stick them into a bowl of salt or dirt so they will stand and light them both and let them burn.The black candle will remove negativity and the white will replace the positive energy. While this is burning take your sage, sweetgrass, or cedar smudge wand or loose leaf sage in a small fire proof pot or bowl on a charcoal disc and start smudging in the inner most room of your home and smudge each room taking special care to smudge inside of closets and especially in the corners of the rooms as best you can. A large feather works well to assist you in wafting the smoke into the corners. You may also ring bells if you wish as this will drive away negative spirits also. Make your way through the entire home moving in a deosil direction, and once you reach the doors open and smudge all that negativity right on out of your home. It is a great idea to open as many windows as possible as well during this cleansing. Some may even take this a step further clearing the yard as well, pushing all negativity past the boarders of the yard, but that is strictly a personal preference as that can be a huge undertaking and your neighbors may think you have lost your mind. You may chant a prayer or words of power to remove the negativity as you smudge. The words you choose, if any, are strictly up to you and your personal preference. Whatever words you choose just make sure that they reference the removal of negativity and bring in light and positivity. Say them with confidence and power in your voice or mind. Doing this every few months will leave a calm, cozy feeling in your home. You can also place dishes, or make sachets to hang, that are full of protective herbs around your house. Lavender flowers, fennel seeds, and basil work well at keeping negativity away. Use your own wording if you want. Use whatever ingredients you have on hand and don't be afraid to improvise. The most important thing is your intention that you are removing negative energy.
