There’s been a resurgence in the popularity of crystals and spirituality pop-culture lately. Once the stuff of wiccans and hippies, celebrities charge their rose quartz in the moonlight and smudge their homes with sage to remove negative energy. As our lives become more hectic and the lines between work and home life are blurred, it comes as no surprise that we are now actively trying to make our homes a sanctuary of peace, calm and happiness. With that in mind, we’ve done a little research on the best spiritual ways to remove bad energy from your home.
1. Use black tourmaline crystals
Black tourmaline is thought to be able to purify energy, cleanse auras and provide protection from negative energy, so pop a stone in your bedroom or living roon. The crystal is also considered one of the most powerful minerals for absorbing electromagnetic radiation, so place it by computers and other digital devices.
2. Smudge with white sage
To smudge sage means to burn a stick of dried sage and allow the smoke to flow over you or throughout your home. Sage is thought to cleanse your metaphysical self and rid you of bad energy, while the smoke from dried sage is suggested to have an effect on the ionic composition of the air, which can reduce stress. Simply place your sage bundle on a heat-proof burning surface, hold a flame to it until it begins to smoke, without causing a true flame. Use your hand to direct the smoke from your feet to head, then into doorways, corners, and shadowed spaces of your home.
3. Decorate with crystals
Quartz powder is the granules left behind from pulverised crystals such as rose quartz and it can be purchased online and mixed into water or paint to keep a space clear of bad energy. Mix crystal powder into water to create a negative-energy-busting room spray, or mix it into paint before painting a room. Another way to decorate with crystals is by using geodes as decorative items, as knobs, or buying them in the form or homewares such as bookends and coasters.
4. Invest in some plants
Plants are scientifically proven to have both health and wellbeing benefits when used in appropriate quantities. Fill your home with living plants to increase positive energy, improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere.
5. Use essential oils
Essential oils have been used by many different cultures for many purposes over the centuries, and they are thought to be able to clear negative energy from a space. Use a room spray infused with essential oils or burning them to disperse the smell throughout you home. Lemon essential oil is believed to act as a psychic cleanser, as well as an effective household cleaner. Cypress oil can purify surrounding energies, while frankincense is supposed to be powerful enough to remove negativity from the mind, body, soul and environment. Sage essential oil is supposed to neutralise any energy fields.
