Spending time refreshing, decluttering, and cleansing your home can significantly support your mental health. It can create a sense of control over your environment, and it helps to improve your mood.
With this in mind, Psychic World has shared top tips for cleansing your home and removing negative energies, helping to transition your space for the new season and support your wellbeing.
Air out your space
Opening your curtains and windows not only lets natural light into your home, which can uplift your mood, but it also improves airflow, removing negative energy and replacing it with fresh, positive energy. While the windows are open, shake out soft furnishings like blankets, pillows, and throws to refresh them, especially if they are not frequently used.
“Bringing in fresh air symbolizes renewal, allowing new, positive energy to flow into your space,” says a professional spiritualist at Psychic World. “It represents letting go of the past or stagnant emotions and inviting in clarity, growth, and transformation.”
Introduce calming scents
Bringing soothing scents into your home is a great way to clear negative energy and create a positive, relaxing atmosphere. Carefully burning candles or incense, or using essential oils, can positively influence your mood. Choose scents based on the feelings you’d like to promote. For example, lavender can encourage relaxation and feelings of calmness, while orange scents can help elevate your mood and promote good energy.
Practice feng shui to promote chi
Applying feng shui principles is essential when transitioning into a new season. Decluttering and removing broken items from your home is key, as these objects can block the positive flow of chi (energy). Other feng shui tips include removing decor with sharp corners or angles and incorporating more mirrors, helping to make the home feel more spacious and inviting positive energy into the space.
Introducing particular houseplants, like orchids, aloe, spider plants, or bamboo, can also enhance the flow of energy, as well as helping to filter the air and regulate humidity.
Cleanse your home with smoke
Open your windows to allow negative energies to leave, and carefully burn sage, rosemary, scented incense. Using a cleansing spray can also purify the air. As the smoke rises, it’s important to manifest and focus on your intentions and visualize your desired outcome. The front door is a great place to start when cleansing your space. Make sure to research the proper techniques and safety measures to maximize the benefits of purifying your home with smoke.
Smoke acts as a gentle bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, carrying away what no longer serves us. It creates a sacred space filled with light and positivity, allowing us to breathe deeply and invite in new beginnings.
Add crystals to your home
Crystals are an excellent way to protect your space from negative energy, and the variations of different crystals mean you can tailor their benefits to your needs. It’s important to choose your crystals based on their benefits rather than appearance, and make sure to place them in the optimal locations around your home.
For example, black tourmaline helps block negative energy from entering your home and is best placed near entry points like doors and windows. Clear quartz promotes flow of positive energy and is often best placed in central areas like the living room or kitchen.
Practice sound cleansing
Sound can be a powerful tool for cleansing negative energy. When your home feels stagnant, choose a sound that you find exciting and energizing, such as ringing bells, drums, or even clapping. Move in a clockwise direction around your home, focusing on doorways and corners and make sure you visualize the sound shifting and moving negative energy out of the space and inviting positive energy to flow in.
Use color effectively
Color plays a significant role in cleansing the energy in your home and enhancing your mood. Dark colors can make your space feel smaller and attract negative energy, while brighter colors such as yellow can help to neutralize negativity. Blue tones have a calming effect and can help promote a relaxing and positive atmosphere.
Equally important to removing negative energy is nurturing your own wellbeing. In addition to cleansing your space, spending time in nature, soaking up sunlight, and practicing self-care will help promote a positive mindset.
