How to spiritually cleanse a house? 8 Simple and Powerful ways to rapidly clear negative energy from your home

We’re always at the mercy of negative and low vibrational frequencies entering into our spaces all of the time. Regardless of how they penetrate our spaces, engaging in regular practices to remove these energies goes a long way in restoring harmony, and bringing into balance our mind and body.

1. Salt

Salt is great for absorbing energies, especially negative energy.

Pour a few tablespoons of regular salt(the cheap stuff) in a bowl and place it in a convenient place in a room, preferably in the centre.

If it is your bedroom, and you have space under the bed, place it under the bed.

If it’s a large room, consider using multiple bowls of salt.

Place similar bowls of salt in every room of the house.

Leave it there for 24 – 48hrs, then discard the salt in the sink. Use a sink that you use often. This way, the salt will dissolve in the water and run off the property completely.

Alternatively, if using multiple bowls of salt, flush it all down the toilet. This will ensure less water wastage, and at the same time, ensure the negative energy exits the property through the sewerage system.

Note. Make sure to wash the bowls properly before re-using them. You don’t want any of the negative energies lingering.

You can repeat this process in any room on a regular basis, especially your bedroom. As you sleep overnight, the salt will absorb all negative energies attached to you, in all of your subtle bodies, and the energies in all of the objects in that space.

Possible Uses:

Place under the bed in your children’s room if they are having bad dreams. Ensure that it is kept out of their reach. You do not want children to touch or consume that salt.
Place under the bed of a person that is sick or suffering from mental anguish.
Place a bowl in the four corners of the house if you have recently moved in. It will absorb the energies of the previous owners.
Place a small bowl in a desk draw or under your table at work. This will absorb the negative energies at work.
Before you embark on a long trip in your car, place a small bowl of salt in your car for 24hrs. Remember to discard this salt before you begin your trip. This will remove any negative energies and ensure you have a safe trip.

2. Lime

Similar to salt, lime has tremendous spiritual properties.

Turn a lime onto it’s side so an end is facing up.

Now, slice into the lime, only about half way. Turn the lime 90 degrees and slice into it again half way.

This will look as if a cross has been cut into it.

Now fill the cut with either salt, turmeric powder, or both. Be generous with the amount you use.

Place this lime into a small bowl and place somewhere near the centre of your home or main living areas.

Leave this lime in place for a minimum of 24 hours, then discard, preferably outside of your property.

Try not to touch the lime directly when discarding, otherwise you’ll end up onboarding some of that negative energy onto yourself.

Using lime in this way, will remove negative energy, inclusive of negative entities, from your entire house, including the walls and other inanimate objects.

You can repeat this process monthly, or whenever you feel burdened by negative energy in your home.

3. Sage

The herb, sage, is possibly the most well known and most commonly used in the western world for smudging.

What is the best sage for cleansing?

There are many varieties of sage used for smudging. Each one has its own benefits. White sage, however, is the most commonly used, primarily for it’s purity and the heaviness of it’s energetic presence.

How to smudge using sage?

Smudging is an easy process.

Get yourself a medium sized ceramic bowl.
Place some sand or dirt into the bowl. This is so the bowl won’t overheat when the sage burns, plus, when you get rid of the sand, the negative energies absorbed into it will also be dispelled.
Place the dried sage in the middle of the bowl.
Before you light the sage, open all of the doors and windows in the house. This will ensure there is a flow of air and energy, and also an outlet for the negative energies. If you are sensitive to energy, you may feel the negative energies being pulled out and released as you smudge.
You will be walking the burning sage from the furthest back point of the house, and moving towards the front. This way, all negative energy will be pushed out in one direction.
Find the furthest most back of the house, and stand facing towards the front of the house.
Light the sage using a match or lighter.
Walk around each room, moving in an anti-clockwise direction, making sure that the smoke from the burning sage goes into all corners, objects and furniture in that space. This will dislodge and release and negative energies absorbed by these items. You can use your free hand to fan the smoke into hard to reach areas.
When done, move into the next room, making sure that as you exit the room, you remember to smudge the door and handles.
When you’ve completed all of the rooms and living spaces in the house, take the bowl of burning sage and place it outside your front door. This will cleanse the spaces in and around the front door.

The front door is the primary entry to everything good in our homes. When this space is polluted by negative energies, it can cause havoc in our lives.

Once the sage has completely burnt out, discard the contents of the bowl, wash it properly and place it away for next time.

That’s it, you’re done!

4. Sambrani, Copal, or Loban

Similar to sage, one can use sambrani.

Sambrani is a benzoin resin, produced from the bark of the Genus Styrax species of trees. It has uses in medicine, fragrances, and incense.

When burned, it releases a fragrance that rapidly induces peace, tranquility, and calms the nerves.

Additionally, the smoke has the effect of clearing negative energies, entities, thought patterns, etc, with extreme prejudice.

Follow the exact same steps as outlines above for Sage.

You should be easily able to find Sambrani being sold in Asian, Indian and Arabic stores.

They come in powdered form, small cup like structures that you can burn, incense, as well as in resin form.

5. Vibrations

Everything is ultimately energy, vibrating at different frequencies. If we want to change something, we simply cause a shift in its vibration.

So, in order to clear out the negative energies or entities in our space, we just need to introduce a higher vibration.

We have a number of formulations in our Youtube Channel, which are freely available for download on this site, which you can play to clear out the negative energies in your spaces.

Five files, in particular, are highly recommended for use. Play any one, or all five of these files, at least once a day, or at the very least, once every week, to ensure your space is always at it’s highest vibration.
