Anytime can be the perfect time to clear the old to bring in the new. Of course, cleaning up clutter is the first step in cleaning up your space. The second step is to make a cleaning space where the waste of energy that has accumulated over time is eliminated.
Yes, thought is energy and all of us, absolutely all of us, have ever felt someone’s negative energies, including our own. Well, that energy also usually stays stagnant in the space of our house. Once the cleaning is done, the energy of the space rises, lights up and circulates freely. So mindful decorating becomes a cool breeze in the home.
Energy wastes can be the result of negative emotions, thoughts, anxiety, and stress that you have experienced in your space. Your house is like a sponge. What transpires in your environment is absorbed by the walls, furniture, carpets, ceiling and objects.
These negative energies often accumulate in corners and hidden places. Also, if you had a negative event that happened recently or a lot of sadness or fear, clean up your space immediately. Visualize the cleaning of the space as a cleaning of the past.
When to clear the space of negative energies?
The following situations are appropriate times to clean the space:
- After removing the clutter.
- After an argument.
- When you move to a new space.
- When a roommate or partner moves in.
- After a divorce or breakup.
- After illness or death.
- When you buy an antique or second-hand item.
- Whenever you want fresh energy for a new project or start.
- Before implementing remodeling work in your home.
How to clean a space of negative energies?
Here is a simple space cleaning technique that you can perform in your home, office, or even on a specific object:
- Create a strong intention in your mind to clear the space in order to bring in healthy and vibrant energy.
- Burn sandalwood or dried sage incense to disintegrate negative energy in each room. (Buy incense from India, Japan or China if the energy is stronger.) Distribute the smoke in a counterclockwise direction in each corner, closet and cabinet. You can also leave a lit rod in each room. Say, “Thank you for the complete disintegration of all negative energies, thoughts, and emotions in this area now.”
- After cleaning, always open east windows and doors to allow fresh energy from the sun to enter.
- Light a candle to devote energy to your efforts. Say your wish out loud. For example, “I am very grateful for all the love, harmony, and healthy energy that you pour into my home right now.”
- Imagine a bright white light that fills the entire space. Visualize your home or office as a shining star that exudes light, positive energy, and blessing to all who enter.
- Use Himalayan salt lamps. To date, it appears that the anecdotal evidence for Himalayan salt lamps outpaces the scientific and the effects people feel may even be a placebo. That being said, there is nothing wrong with the placebo effect if it works for you. Also, Himalayan salt lamps are a beautiful addition to any room and can create a feeling of calm and relaxation.
- Grow indoor plants. In 1989, NASA began a study called “Clean Air” to help discover which air filter plants would be most beneficial in outer space. In the end, NASA came up with certain plants that could effectively filter harmful toxins and pollutants from the air.
- Feel sure that the energy in your home is fresh and ready to receive all the opportunities that the new times have for you.
- Be consistent with what you are talking about. Do not do your cleaning wanting to attract good energy to your home if then you will go out to do the opposite. You must be congruent with what you do since all the cleaning work will not work with someone who is himself negative energy.
