MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ENERGETIC ENVIRONMENT
IN YOUR HOME

Your surroundings at home are important to you. Home is also generally where you have the most control over your environment. You want things arranged for your convenience. You want comfortable furniture and décor that matches your personality. You want colors on the wall that please you. When you are done working, running errands, taking the kids to school, etc., you want to come home to a place that feels comfortable and nourishes your soul. Whether you realize it or not, part of that comfort level is the energy in the home.
Have you ever noticed when things are dusty and cluttered, that you feel stuck and somewhat uncomfortable? Have you ever noticed how good it feels after you have finished cleaning your house, to look around and actually feel the lift in the energy? It’s not just the feeling that the work is over, but the sense that the energy has shifted. Having an energetically positive environment in your house feels good. It helps you start and finish the day with a higher vibration. This, in turn helps you navigate the day with a higher vibration, regardless of what is thrown at you by the world.
In this article, I am going to review basic methods to keep your home energetically positive. There are more complicated methods available to you, Feng Shui among them. However, this article is sticking to the basics that don’t require a lot of study. I know everyone today is really busy. These are simple things that you can do that do not require much time or effort. 
First let me say that, most homes are not haunted. Don’t believe everything you see on TV. That is for entertainment. Most souls move into the light after they leave the body. They aren’t hanging out in your closet or under your bed.
Home clearing, whether it be for a house, condo, apartment or tent breaks down into four categories.  Technically, they are all energetic, but for the sake of organization we will address them this way: air, sound, physical and energetic.
AIR
By air, I am referring to the use of energy carried through the air. Air circulation through the home is very important for removing any stagnant energy. This can be as simple as opening windows or turning on fans. You want to “air things out” on a regular basis. Whenever you are cleaning, weather permitting, open the windows and air out the room. Open the closet doors and let them air out. You want as much fresh air moving through your house on a regular basis as possible.
To further assist in keeping a positive vibration, consider burning incense, at least once a month. White sage, Palo Santo, sandalwood, lavender, frankincense and myrrh are good choices. Open a window in each room, while you are burning the incense so that any unwanted energy can escape. As you walk through the house from the back to the front direct any negative energy to leave the home. Remember, it is your home and you are the boss.
A word of caution, too much Palo Santo smoke will hang on to your clothes and hair for a week or so, if you overdue it. White sage is more forgiving in that regard. If you happen to get carried away, as I am known to do, just open all the windows and doors and put the fans on. Any unwanted energy and all the smoke will be gone in a couple hours. If you don’t want to deal with smoke, there are sprays that you can buy for white sage, Palo Santo and energy clearing in general. Personally, I think smoke is more effective, because it travels further, but spray is the next best thing, if you can’t use incense.
Aromas can influence the energy of people as well. If you expect guests who do not always get along, simmer some water with cinnamon on the stove. Or use incense. Cinnamon helps to ease disagreements between people.
 
SOUND
Sound has the ability to raise the vibration in any area. In Pranic Healing, we typically use the chant of OM to clear spaces. You can find YouTube videos of monks chanting OM that are quite effective.
Bells that have a sound that carries after they stop ringing also work well. There are singing bowls that can be used to clear your space with sound. Here it is really up to what you want to listen to.
PHYSICAL
Along with keeping the air circulating and the sound positive, you need to keep the home clean and tidy. Not obsessive, compulsively clean and tidy, but reasonably clean and organized. Stagnant energy builds up in dusty, cluttered places. When you clean, clean with intent. Visualize all the stagnant dead weight energy being washed away and good light, clean, happy energy taking its place.
Let light in while you clean and even when you are not cleaning. Light is a great conductor of positive energy and should get into every nook and cranny at some point during the week.
Another way to clean out the energy of a house or room is to use a bowl of water with salt in it. You can use table salt or ice cream salt, but it needs to be real salt, not Epsom salt. Two quarts of water and half a cup of salt is sufficient. The bowls you use should not be used for food after you use them to clear the energy, but they can be made of any material. Place your salt bowl in the room to be cleared or at the four corners of the house. Direct the salt to attract and destroy any negative energy in the room or house. Leave them for 48 hours and then pour the contents down the toilet.
If you want a permanent salt bowl in a room that gets too much unpleasant energy, consider placing a black tourmaline in the salt water and changing the water and salt weekly. Direct the black tourmaline to grab any negative energy and give it to the salt water to destroy. You can also direct any negative energy focused at you to the tourmaline for the same process. Black tourmaline is the best for this, but if you do not have a black tourmaline, use a black rock.
Cactus will seek and destroy negative energy for you too. You can use this in the work place as well. Just visualize placing any negative thought or comment on the end of the needle and let the cactus dispose of it. I have a multitude of cactus at my front door for this very purpose.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can place selenite at every window and door, saying a prayer or invocation as you go. You can bury iron nails at the four corners of your property. If you have access to an iron horseshoe, you can mount it over your front door.
ENERGY and THE FEAR FACTOR
With all of the methods of cleaning your space, the most important factor is you. Everything you do must be with the intent to create a positive area. When you burn incense, play high vibration music, clean, set out salt bowls, it must be with intent. This is your space, your place in the world and you are in charge. I realize if you live with someone else, there are compromises on the physical plane, but energetically you get to choose your surroundings.
Negative energy of any kind feeds on fear. If you are fearful, you will attract it. This is why you want to come out of the gate every day with confidence and literally “blow off” negativity. I’m not saying disregard feedback or not learn from your mistakes. What I am saying is learn from them and not hold on to the criticism. Keeping a positive environment will help you do this. Clearing yourself with incense, sound, having a salt bath when you get home will help you do this. Also, wearing protective crystals and directing them to deflect any negativity coming at you will help you throughout the day. Amethyst is the best for this, but quartz and rose quartz are good also.
These basics should help you maintain a high vibration household.
