Negative Energy in your home – can you clear them?

I’ve been asked a number of times what to do when you have a negative energy / ghost in your house.

How does negative energy get in your house?

A number of ways! They may be residual from past occupants of your home. Such as if a mean person died there or used to live there.

Sometimes, the energy can just be from a family that lived there and fought a lot.

Weirdly, negative energy / ghosts can ‘attach’ themselves to you, say if you’ve been to the cemetery.

What can negative energy do to you?

That negative energy that you feel can be causing problems with your family.

Making people more disruptive, angry or acting out of character.

They can make you feel overly sad and just not yourself and you don’t understand why you’re feeling like that.

If you feel that you have a negative energy in your home what can you do?

In all honesty, if it’s a really nasty negative energy / ghost, I would get someone professional to come in and do a proper house clearing on your home.

Make sure that they put a protective energy around it as well.

I’ve actually had this done to my own home. I don’t clear energies, that’s not what I do and I’m one of those people that will happily pay someone who knows what they’re doing to do the job.

My Gorgeous Guy and I live in a terrace which is over 120 years old – that’s a lot of energy that can build up in an old place.

Also, when we moved in we were told that in the late 1800’s early 1900’s the terrace next door was used as an illegal abortion clinic … think of all the negative energy hanging around!

I figured that the safest thing to do would be to get our place cleared and a protective energy place over it.

While I’m happy to see ghosts per se, I also don’t particularly want bad energy ones hanging around!

If you want to clear energies in your home, use a white sage smudge stick.

What is a white sage smudge stick?  It’s a small bundle of white sage and you light it, it doesn’t catch fire so much as smoke and you make sure the smoke goes around each window and door in your home.  Blow some around in the rooms to clear the energies.

You could also burn some essential oils – they too help with clearing negative energy out of your space, some of the best ones are Lavender,

Lemon, Cypress, Grapefruit and Frankincense.

You can use them all or just one or a couple, make sure you burn them safely!

Don’t worry if people think you’re mad because you feel as though there is negative energy in your home.

Give it a cleanse anyway, it’s not going to hurt! And remember that you may find that you may need to do each week until you feel it’s gone.

After all, just because someone else doesn’t sense it doesn’t mean that the negative energy isn’t there.

Hopefully, this information will make you feel more relaxed and your house will smell nice with those oils burning!!
