ok girls (and guys), i am calling on your superior wisdom. our house has THE WORST bad vibes/energy ever and its seriosuly impacting on all of our lives and has been for a good couple of years.
i need tips/ideas to cleanse the house and make it a nice, welcoming, safe place for my family.
now im a newbie at this stuff so u may need to explain the basic kinda stuff to me but i seriously need ur help!!!
TIA!!
There are a few things you can try, smudge sticks (sage is best) are my favourite; you can use visualisation; I have heard of people using bells - the ringing of the bells creates a vibration which shifts the energy to a different level, although I have bells it doesn't 'do it' for me on it's own.
You could try looking at your furniture, what you have, how it's arranged, introduce a bit of Feng Shui? I am a huge fan of indoor plants....
I think a lot of it comes back to when you think about energy... it makes sense that we create so much of the energy around us. Think of it like a bad smell.. if we are exuding bad smell, the air around us stinks. If we, or our surroundings are (even inadvertently) exuding bad energy, then it will feel awful.
So what is it that you don't like & want to change? and what is it that you want to create?
Is moving an option? if it were me and it was really bad, and moving was an option I would be considering that.
ETA - a few other things - salt. My mother used salt once - you sprinkle it around the place, doors, windows, floors etc - and later (how long??) sweep it up & throw it away. Salt water is a great cleanser.
And light - you know the suncatcher things you can get that throw rainbows around, they are good.
How long have you been in the house for? There was one house I was living in, and it felt "wrong" after a little bit - when I looked around, the previous tenant had mirrors hanging in every tree etc. When I removed all these and swept out the house - actually sweeping everything *from* the house and into the street, it felt a lot better.
Shifting the energy in a house can be as simple as opening all the doors & windows & letting light & air flow through, sweeping out teh house as Kaz said... anythign that makes it feel fresher. Anything that makes it feel yours.
Smudge sticks are bundles of dried herbs (for cleansing, White Sage) You light the end so that it its smoking then take it from room to room, let the smoke drift throughout the house, in corners of rooms etc. You can find them at stores or markets (usually the kind that sell crystals etc) - if you have trouble finding them, PM me.
I had a book once that was exactly about this topic... cleansing of your home in spiritual energy terms. But I leant it to somebody and they never gave it back But it might be worth Googling some key words. Fleur and Kaz have given some good tips (that were in the book). I have moved many times and have used the salt one as a "matter of course" at the point of moving in. But with our recent move I didn't bother because this house has such a lovely vibe! The minute i walked in it felt so 'safe'.
Feng Shui has some great remedies and I use that a lot too.
You could also try simply asking any lingering spirits to leave if you believe that might help. I've heard though that negative energies/spirits are often drawn to households with deep unresolved issues so keep in mind that you have to take a holistic approach. The negative energies you are feeling might not fully disperse until you deal with any personal issues you have... even just opening up communication. But sometimes houses just have bad energy and there's not a lot that can be done other than to move.
How does this negative energy manifest? Describe you feelings. Is it discomfort or that you constantly feel like you are in a rut? The symptoms might give some more clues as to the source.
When you smudge, concentrate on dark places and corners. Watch where the smoke flows to and concentrate on the point a bit more. As you're walking around say a cleansing prayer ( you can ask a shop owner).
Also, when at the shop get a hunk of clear quartz and get them to clense it, then don't let them touch it, only you. Take it home and put it centrally in you house. But before you place it, hold it tight and think and tell the rock what you want it to do ( to protect your house and family from bad energy flowing in) and make sure the rock stays where you put it. I have one under my couch away from small hands
Do ou have any mirrors on doors??
Good luck.
unresolved issues? tick
mirrors everywhere? tick (mirror tiles on the walls ffs)
i've been in this house since 2009, DF since 2007. it was never my choice, i always had in my head to move asap but not going to in the near future.
i have borrowed a book on decluttering useing feng shui, now to find the time to read it!!
does anyone have idea where a shop selling this stuff would be in nth east adelaide?
There's a shop called The Crystal Harmony in Fairview Park. If you're able to travel a little further, The Eternal Spirit at Goodwood have a good reputation (or give them a call). They also do house clearings (but might be a bit exy).
