Cleansing a Room of Bad Energy
by Medium Laura Evans
There are several different traditions for clearing a room of bad energies. It all depends on the culture and tradition of spirituality that you might be using.
For instance, in Feng Shui, it is clutter that attracts bad spirits and blocks the positive flow of energy. If you feel haunted or overly attached to the past, one remedy might be to give your house a good cleaning. If the object feels wrong, or reminds you from the past in a negative way, then throw it out. It is also said that Venus, the Goddess of Love, will not enter a dirty home, so it is in your best interests to keep your place a clean as possible.
Another way of keeping bad energies out of a room is to hang bells or chimes on the door. Every time the door is opened to the room, the spirits will be frightened by the noise and be chased a way.
Another way of clearing your space is to walk through it, ringing a bell that rings in the key of C.
A Wiccan tradition for clearing vibrations out of a house is to take a broom and starting at the front door, sweep the entire house in a counterclockwise direction. Even if your floors are clean, you can do this as a symbolic action. Keep sweeping in the counterclockwise direction until you have reached the front door and sweep everything you have collected out the front door and to the edge of the street. Modernists could probably use a vacuum cleaner to the same effect.
In Celtic traditions and also Feng Shui traditions, four copper pennies placed in the North, South, East and West corners of the home are thought to prevent the inhabitants from astral attack, ghosts and spirits.
The classic incense used for protection is a combination of Frankincense and Myrrh, which is said to please the angels and summon protective light. Genuine Frankincense and Myrrh can be bought in religious supply stores and burned over charcoal in an incense burner. The burner is swung through the house, cleansing every corner of thought forms, entities and bad energy.
Sage can also be used to purify an environment. It can be bought commercially as stick incense or as a sage bundle. A bundle is usually just the dried herb wrapped with an elastic band or rope. The bundle is lit on fire and carried through the house to clear it of entities and bad spirits. In several Native American cultures, the aroma of burning sweetgrass or white sage purifies the energies and attracts the positive supernatural entities.
Still another way is to buy small hematite stones and tape them into the corners of the room or house. I tape them high so that young children are not tempted to put them in their mouth.
