Psychic Housework Sometimes our home or working environment can cause us to feel uncomfortable or tense. We are all familiar with the saying “you could cut the atmosphere with a knife”. This negative energy can have great effect on us. It can often cause stress, depression, difficulty sleeping and a host of other symptoms.   You may have been through difficult times; you may have experienced great fear or loss; you may have had other people’s negative energy brought into your home. This negative energy can linger in a room - just like dust, it will stay there until we remove it!   Keeping your home psychically clean will help clear the negative energy, and create space for positive energy which will have a strong impact on moods and behaviour. Here are some simple techniques that you can use to invite good energy back inside.   A quick and effective psychic cleansing is just a jolly good house cleaning! A thorough cleaning with a positive mind and lots of clean water will go a long way to removing the psychic dirt that has built up in your home. At the same time the physical act of cleaning will create positive energy within you. Surround yourself with flowers and plants; they help to increase oxygen levels and are known to absorb negativity. They will also instil a sense of tranquillity. Place crystals throughout your home; crystals work by balancing energy, boosting low energy and releasing stagnant or blocked energy. Smudging. This is a traditional method of clearing negative energy by burning bundles of herbs. The smoke will attach itself to the negative energy and as it clears takes the negative energy with it. There are many herbs that can be used for smudging, but the most common is white sage, usually bound in a small bundle with string and then dried. Smudging can be done to clear negative energy or in preparation to receive positive energy. How to smudge. Light the bundle of smudge, and then blow the flame out, leaving the bundle to smoulder (like an incense stick) freeing the smoke to circle the air. Focus on your intent i.e. repelling negative energies, and walk around your entire home, fanning smoke through the rooms as you go – don’t forget corners and behind doors. Focus on places where you feel there is a particular build up of negativity. Smudge yourself, your family and even your pets if they will let you, by swirling and fanning smoke around them from head to toe. Try to visualize the negative energy lifting and disappearing with the smoke. I smudge anything and everything within my home including myself and my possessions. Don’t forget to have a bowl handy to put out the smudge when you are done, and make sure it is out properly!   Doing this psychic housework should improve the energy in your surroundings, and should go a long way to making your own energy much more positive. Why not give it a try.
