Clearing your space

Having a clear space to just live in and also to create rituals and rid our homes of negativity is so important to living your best life.

So step one to clearing your space of negative energy is also just getting rid of things you don’t need and literally cleaning your space. So actually cleanse your home and rid it of rubbish, dirt, and clutter. In terms of clutter, pick up an item and if you don’t need it, and it doesn’t bring your joy, then get rid of it.

A cluttered house can lead to cluttered energy. Windows and doors should also be left open to allow negative energy to escape from the house during the cleansing process. Pay particular attention to areas where water, electricity, or gas comes in or out, where the electrical panel is located, any heat sources, and appliances.Remember the hallways are rooms of a sort, too.

Most popular Clearing methods via the elements:

  • ​​​​Salt or Earth (The Element of Earth)

Kosher salt placed in a bowl and sprinkled throughout the home is commonly used in house blessings. White salt has protective and purifying characteristics, while black salt is said to remove and absorb negative energy from a home. Some people will set up a circle of protection with salt around the outside of the home to keep negative energy away. Actual earth can be used in place of salt.
