Energy Clearing

There are a variety of reasons that you, your home, office or land may need an energy clearing.  The most common is that there is negative energy lurking about that needs to be ferreted out and given the boot.  Another is that events are happening that disturb or frighten you.  If you are a healer, psychic, or medium, you will collect unwanted energy that can affect you and your work.

There are some easy ways to remove negative energy.  If you feel comfortable doing this yourself, give it a try.  If you have particularly dark energy around you, I suggest you bring in an expert, such as myself, who will know how to banish this energy and lay down heavy spiritual protection.

The most widely known method is the Native American practice of Smudging.  This is done by using the smoke of a burning sage bundle, or pieces of burning sage, following a prescribed ceremony.  I have used this method many times with success.  Very dark energy will likely require a series of clearings to stop all activity and completely clear the energy.

If you are like me and do not tolerate the scent of burning sage, that’s okay.  You can also use burning Palo Santo to cleanse energy.  It has a lighter scent.  This has been my go-to for years now.

This is a type of wood that comes from a tree of the same name.  It is indigenous to South American.  The name means “holy wood”, thanks to the many healing and spiritual properties it carries.

Palo Santo is so powerfully cleansing that almost every shamanic ritual in South American incorporates burning this wood.  It has a distinct, pine, mint and citrus smell that is quite pleasant and refreshing.  You use a small piece of Palo Santo the way that a small bundle of burning sage is used.

Before you begin energy clearing, open all doors and windows in your home.

Put the small bundle of sage, or small piece of Palo Santo in a shell or other container which will allow you to hold it without getting burned. Light one end of the sage or wood, let it burn for 10-20 seconds, then blow out the flame.  Pick up the container with the sage/wood in it in one hand, with the other use a feather to continuously direct the smoke where you want it.

Start at your front door.  Direct the smoke around the entire door, using the feather.  As you go around the door say something like, “Only that which is in the best and highest good of myself, my family and my friends is allowed in this room, this home and on this property.

Repeat this as you move the smoke around every doorway, including interiors one, every window, and fireplace openings. Leave the doors and windows open for a while until the smoke dissipates. Then you may close them all.  Bury the partially burned sage or wood and any ashes off your property, not near other homes.

If you continue to feel negative energy or experience events that do not feel good to you, it is time to call in a professional. It is likely that your situation will require more in-depth clearing. I do that in Arizona and have some contacts for out of state energy clearing.
