I'm so sorry Papillon, I know I don't belong in Metaphysical, but do you mean 'billowing' instead of 'bellowing'? I am giggling at the idea of this smokey sage yelling and bellowing at the top of it's herby lungs around your house. Sorry.
Nelle, you just made me laugh so hard, i had tears in my eyes!
THANK YOU!
lol or should i thank me and my exceptionally, "i have only had 4 hour's sleep in 36 hours" brain
Just read your post again, and im PMSL again...
oh dear me... lol
OK, because i CBFluffed, in my post when you read "bellowing" i do actually mean "billowing".... at no stage did my sagey stick start yelling at the house with its herby ways... lol and may i again say, i have only had 4 hours sleep in 36 hour's lol THATS MY EXCUSE AND IM STICKING TO IT!
I would actually say that it seems quite appropriate to imagine your sage bEllowing to the neg energy to bleep off!!!!!!!!!!!
And as someone with no experience in cleansing, i am thinking the same as you- that obviously the sage struggled at first- but with your persistance, you an the sage worked together and cleansed the energy- i would do it again too just to be extra sure!!
Hi Papillon - wow sorry I didnt' see this thread earlier.
Typically, a space that contains a lot of dense "dead" or heavy energy puts up a lot of resistance. If you are drumming/chiming a bell, the sound itself is more muffled when you start and actually increases in pitch, clarity and resonance as the space clears. It's one of the ways that you know whether to keep clearing or whether the space is clear again.
So I'm not surprised to hear there was resistance to the movement of your sage smoke, given what you know about the history of the place. Remember that as well as clearing out the old energy, you need to 'set' or 'tune' the new energy that you want the place to keep. This can be done using your intent, prayers, sound (eg tibetan bell) and also by sealing the new energy ritually, eg by lighting a candle in a colour that is significant for you, leaving an offering to your spiritual guides/guardians, etc.
Sounds like you're doing a great job - remember you can clear any time the house or it's occupants need a "lift"!!
yeah it sounds about right with the smoke being fought. it's amazing how determined negative energy can be in maintaining it's status quo.
we had a real hard time in one of our houses and it did take a fairly constant vigilance to keep it in check. if you feel the house needs more then i would go with that.
and like MD said you kinda have to set the ground rules for the house once you have laid claim to it (so to speak ). this can be done through many ways depending on the energy that you are up against. for me, it meant a whole lot of repetition of 'the rules' in each room and creating a wall around us personally for protection if things fell by the wayside.
yeh I think it was being "fought", what you can also do is clap the energies out - the kids can even get involved in this - just move around like you did with the sage stick but clap instead.
I'd probably also walk around the outside of the house as well.
Also grab some clear quartz crystals, charge them up - I usually bury them in a pot for a cycle of the moon (earth), sit them in some salted water for a cycle of the moon (water), let them sit under the moon for the 3 nights of the full moon & then smoke them with sage. Then put these in the corners of the house outside, imagine the house being surrounded by a bubble from these crystals.
Sorry.
