8 Ways To Remove Negative Energy

We can all often find ourselves in such a busy fast paced life finding time to go outside just when we are travelling to and from work, school, groceries, meetings etc and can all too quickly forget how much immersing ourselves in nature can be cleansing and healing to the soul.  That feeling of getting away from it all, distressing and allowing yourself to stop and smell the roses now and again.  But eventually we have to come home and when we do we bring the same stresses we had at work or running a household back into the very place that other than nature we should be able to destress and relax. When we compare the sense of peace and connectedness we feel in nature much like becoming a goat wrangler at Rent-A-Ruminant to the stress, noise, speed and bustle of the city, we know deep down that there is a difference. Part of the difference is the energy that has merged into the physical objects of these places. Nature and immersing ourselves within it in general, has far more positive energy than our homes or cities could ever have.

Before we can start re-filling our homes, our work spaces or our cars  with positive energy, we need to remove any accumulation or build-up of negative energy. Here is a list of eight simple ideas that are proven techniques that really do work that you can use to remove negative energy from any space:

8 Ways to Remove Negative Energy

1. Salt your carpets and floors. This is the simple easiest best way. Simply sprinkle dry table salt on the floors surface, wait an hour and then vacuum the up the salt.It doesn't have to be an abundance of salt, just whatever you feel.  In an average sized room, I would possible sprinkle 1 handful of pink Himalayan salt from the bag not forgetting the corners. Himalayan,  Epsom or any natural  salt  has an amazing natural built in-ability to remove any negative energy that has built up over time. Using natural salt is like using an air purifier transmuting the bad/negative into the good/positive
2. Loud Music, Musical Instruments or Loud Noises. 
   Any type of loud noise be it from rocking out to fantastic music, jamming on your piano, drums, recorder all break up the negative energy patterns of a room and allow them to transmute as you lift the vibration of the room washing away the ick and leaving nothing but fantastic uplifting energy behind.  This is why the Chinese love and use fireworks so much, take the Chinese New Year, removing the old to make way for the new energy or how Gaia (mother nature) uses thunder storms and rain that is pelting down hard to cleanse areas of the earth.
3. Meditating in an area or room/car/space etc.
   If you are meditating in the space you are allowing or giving yourself the space to relax and go within, using yourself as a positive vibration can be very cleansing for a space, especially if you are using the same space daily.
4. Remove the clutter people.
   A cluttered house leads to a cluttered mind - isn't that the old saying? Leaving things around to trip over on, books, washing, paperwork, toys can tend to trap negative energy within it and your house/car/business.  Time to pick it up, spring clean, autumn clean, winter clean and summer clean if you have too, to make sure your space is free of obstacles and freeing your home etc allowing the flow of positive, uplifting energy to take over once again.  Remove anything you no longer need, give it to charity, clean those garages, keep your coffee tables and night stands clear of obstruction. If the 'stuff' is not there then it leaves nothing of the negative energy to cling too.
5. Have fun and create change.
   Change the furniture around to allow the house to breathe and clean up the flow of energy that way.  Again using the Chinese as a good example and their fantastic practice of using feng shui to get the energy flowing for your highest good again.  Again negative energy needs something to “bind to.” Change up  your spaces with as much wide open space as possible, allowing any negative energy to disperse and disappear. But also the act of rearranging will cause this harmful energy to dissipate.
6. Sage Cleansing (smudging).
   Smudging is a fantastic and easy (although a little smelly) way to remove negative energies.  Even if you have a super happy household, negative energies can enter our homes in many different ways.  Such as when you first move into the house and the energy of tenants previous is left inside. It may come in on friends and family that have entered your space, from restaurants, your children's friends, antiques, library books, grocery items brought home from the store (just think about how many times you handle that food before it makes it into your pantry, now think about how many hands have touched it from production, through to packaging, transport, the people who have used the shopping cart before you, the cashier and the list goes on. It's important to cleanse your spaces often just for some of the reasons above, although not life-threatening over time you may start to see a change in your family/work dynamics.  I have seen it first hand what a good smudging can do for the benefit of my children's moods, the difference especially on the first one, was dramatic, no more nightmares, peaceful sleeping routines and in general a happy household.

7. This is my favorite if you have children.
   Grab out all your pots and pans with a couple of wooden spoons or whatever safe utensil you happen to have and let your kids go to town creating a song for each room of the house.  Show me where the children are that don't love to get involved? And what kids don't like to make noise?
8. Add some plants.
   It amazes me the amount of times i walk into the home to find no plants anymore.  Our houses used to be filled with them and yet you are lucky to see 1 these days.
   Plants not only add color to a space, they also bring oxygen, life, nurturing aspects of ourselves and positive energy to any space they are put into.  

These are just a few ways and i'm sure there are many more using crystals, Reiki ,Essential oils to name a few extra.  Share your ideas in the comments below, it very well maybe the perfect solution for a like minded soul such as yourself.
