How To Protect Your Home From Negative Energy

Have you ever had a guest in your home who brought in a noticeably negative energy, an energy you can still feel long after they leave? Maybe you recently hosted the in-laws, and you don't really get along with them all that well. Or maybe your mother came over recently and offered up more than her fair share of not-so-sly critical remarks. Or maybe a neighbor recently visited just for the sake of starting crap with you.

Alternatively, maybe it's not an outsider at all. Say there was a really big argument between you and your spouse, or your children frequently hold lots of animosity toward each other. Or, you may have even had a really bad day, and you harbor intense frustration.

All of these are perfect examples of events that conjure up excessive negative energy. It's like pollution, seeping into the environment and lingering for long periods of time. Once it's brought into your home, it can sometimes be quite difficult to get rid of. After a while, It begins to weigh heavily on you and anyone else in you home, breeding even more negative energy.

Lingering negative energy can affect everything from your mood, to your health, and even your judgement. The energy in our environment has a significant effect on us, even if we don't realize it. If you've ever noticed that you feel angry, upset, anxious, or tired suddenly after entering a room or a building, then you have felt the effects of lingering negative energy!

So how can you keep this from happening? There are several simple tricks you can use to keep negative energies from entering and lingering in your home!

1. Regular smudge cleanses.

Burning sage is an ancient practice that is used to cleanse and purify the energy in the home. It clears out anything that's lingering, banishes negativity, and sets everything anew. I highly recommend doing this first, and repeating it often. To do this, simply light some white sage on fire, and make sure the smoke is thoroughly spread around your home. Pick yourself up a smudge stick or two here [>>>].

2. Salt.

Have you ever heard that a ring of salt can protect you from spiritual attack? Well, there's some truth in that. Salt is often used to represent the Earth element. The Earth (particularly the dirt in the ground) has the ability to take all kinds of energy and convert it back to a neutral state. Similarly, salt has the ability to absorb psychic energy. Sprinkle it around the perimeter of your home to create an invisible barrier that works as a psychic shield, neutralizing any energy that passes through it.

3. Black salt.

Black salt is a powerful tool for fighting negativity! Whereas regular salt works to contain and neutralize all psychic energy, black salt focuses on absorbing negative energy. It traps and holds negativity so it's trapped and no longer free to infiltrate your home! I like to keep a small pile of black salt in the corners at either side of my front door. It's not enough for anyone to really notice it's there, but it sure does a great job at filtering the energies that come in! You can also place some black salt in a jar or a small bowl in any room that is affected by negativity. Hide it under your couch, or place it in plain sight right in the center of the table! Just make sure the container it's in doesn't have a lid on it. It works more efficiently that way. Every so often, throw it out and replace it. Grab a jar of handmade black salt here [>>>].

4. Cascarilla powder.

Also known as "Peace powder," cascarilla offers powerful protection and keeps things cheerful and positive. It's traditionally made primarily from ground eggshells, and is a staple in many traditions of folk magic. Sprinkle some under your door mat, or around the perimeter of your home. It will ward off anyone who has ill-intentions, and it will help to lift the spirits of those who enter your home. I make my own cascarilla powder with eggshells that come from the hens I raise myself. Get a jar of it here [>>>].

5. Himalayan salt lamps.

I have to admit, I didn't think these would be very effective until I received one as a gift from my mom. They are known to ease stress and anxiety, and they radiate a peaceful and calming energy in the room. They are also said to help control toxins and allergens in the air. These are great for fighting off negative energy! They come in several sizes, and you can put them pretty much anywhere! I keep mine in the living room, right next to my reading chair. The light can be seen from the window next to my front door, and I've been told by neighbors that the soft glow is warm and inviting!

6. Crystals.

There are some crystals that are great at fighting off negativity! Smoky Quartz is probably the easiest to come by. It absorbs and neutralizes negative energy, making it a great protection stone for your home or for yourself. Rose Quartz is a good one as well, as it promotes peace and loving energy among those who are near it. These crystals can be found in all kind of shapes and sizes. You can get large ones to place on display in your living room, small ones to place beside your bed, or even tiny ones to keep in your pocket!

It's not all that difficult to protect your home from negative energy, but it's extremely important! Start taking steps today to keep the energy in your home positive and peaceful, and you'll notice a huge difference in the happiness of your family!
