Tips and Techniques for Clearing Home and Body of Negativity

Today, I am going to give you some effective methods of clearing your home and yourself of negativity. We all encounter it, although you may not realize the destructive effects of negativity that lingers long after the initial “hit” of it occurs.

The first signs of the appearance of negativity is an uneasy feeling that something is “wrong” or just “not right”. If you are an intuitive person or a sensitive, you can almost “feel” negativity like fog, enveloping and bearing down on you. Whether this is emanating from a person or is in a room or house, it is the feeling that makes your hair on your arms or the back of your neck “crawl” or can even make you feel like just breaking down and having a good, long cry right there. The person “affected” by negativity, is depressed and wears a scowl or appears teary eyed. Their appearance might not be as tidy as it would be if they were in a positive mood and there would be barely a hint of energy or happiness in their demeanor.

There are various forms of “cleaning” or “cleansing” a home, building or apartment of negativity. Some are known by culture, some are Universal. I will list various tips to use to clean a place of negativity.

  • Discard all old newspapers, magazines and mail that you do not need. Donate all old clothes, shoes, appliances and things you no longer need or use. Give them to charities who sell them to others in need. If they are too worn, throw them out. If you are saving clothes that are smaller that you are now, consider keeping them for one year. If you have fashions over one year old, donate them to a women’s shelter, who can use them in their “dress for success” programs to help employ and empower abused women.
  • If it can’t be fixed, as in computers, electronics and televisions, take them to the nearest landfill that takes these materials. That includes old cell phones, too.
  • If you can’t bear to part with the things because of the cost of the item, then have a yard or garage sale. That way you reap a bit of the money spent, while helping out others.
  • Clean house top to bottom, from the back of the house to the front, with either pine or lemon fragrance cleaning products. Make sure that you get every corner, baseboard, windowsill and all crevaces you can. Make sure you do not dump the dirty wash water in the sinks. Dump it into the toilet, then flush. You are ritually “flushing away negativity” as you push the handle down. Move furniture and vacuum, then toss out the bag. Clean the windows with an ammonia-based product. Clean out under the sink, tossing half empty shampoo, conditioner and hand cream bottles. Reorganize everything.
  • Wash all bedding, pillows and blankets. Send the quilts to the dry cleaners. Use a cup of ammonia in your wash water. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT USE AMMONIA AND BLEACH TOGETHER IN THE SAME WASH WATER. It creates a toxic gas that can kill. For white clothing, wash in ammonia wash cycle first; then re-wash with bleach.
  • Buy some white sage in a bundle or frankencense, myrrh or copal incense and burn and smudge (some say “smoke”) each room, moving from the back of the house to the front.
  • Buy a bunch of white glass 7-day novena-type candles, one for each room of the house. Clean them inside the wax and outside the glass with lemon juice; let dry. Set one in the center or each of the rooms on a glass plate. Light ad say The Lord’s Prayer or Psalm 23 (“The Lord is my Shepherd”).
  • In Caribbean cultures, it is appropriate to swish a sip of white rum in their mouths, then spew it in a fine spray in the corners of the room to “seal” it while the white candle is burning.
  • In Asian cultures and belief systems, banging a loud gong, drum or ringing a bell vigorously will clear out any negative “spirits” as the loud cacophony is disturbing to them.
  • One you have effectively cleaned the house, light some incense pleasing to the senses like lotus, rose or any blessing or spiritual brand incense. then begin the cleansing of negativity on yourself.

  • Run a very warm bath with a couple of cups of Epsom salts in the water. Soak yourself, including your head, in the mixture. Epsom salts is not only great to soothe those tired, achy muscles, but to also chase away negativity. Most spiritual practitioners have them on hand when they work on a difficult client case.
  • Once done, stand up, shower off and soap up. Using Castile soap is traditional in some cultures as it’s purity (coco butter and soap) gives the feeling of innocence.
  • If you are one who gets emotionally turned in twists and knots, pouring coconut juice from fresh coconuts over your head, then wrapping your head in white toweling, can “cool” your thoughts and emotions down. This is done in many Caribbean cultures.
  • After your shower, lay down for awhile and nap or just rest without distraction. You will feel weak after this bath.
  • If available, apply a few drops of Fiery Wall of Protection, Blessing or Healing Condition Oil to your body. Apply a few drops in your palms and spread lightly over the body will envelope you in protection.
  • Do not answer the phone if the person that gives you the “creeps” calls you. Use your answering machine or voicemail as it was intended. It is not a “given” that just because the phone rings or the doorbell rings, you absolutely must answer it. Let all calls go the voicemail, then call back the ones you care about.
  • Use these same techniques for the whole family. You may find that it will take more than one application, especially if you live with others.
  • Once your daughters have reached the age of puberty, to keep them from attracting negativity (due to their raging hormones), take a jelly jar and fill it every night with fresh, cool water. Place near their head, either on the headboard, nightstand, or directly under the bed in the area of their head. Every morning, take that water and dump it in the toilet. Fill the glass again with cool water and then pour that into the toilet. Flush, and store the jelly jar where no one can accidentally use it to drink in. If in the morning, you find small bubbles attached to the sides of the glass, those bubbles are considered “trapped negativity” and thus is the reason we dump the water into the toilet. If we dump it into the drains, it may linger in the crooks of the piping. The toilet is the direct line to the sewer and that is where we want to send all negativity.
  • White Candle Release and Forgive Candle Spell

    This simple candle spell is to “let go” of a bad relationship, situation or even a particular event.

    Ingredients

  • 1 White Glass 7-day Novena Candle
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Turn the paper 180 degrees (upside down) and then write the other person’s full name or the date of the event. Each name should line up under each other, but require turning paper upside down to read each name.

    Place paper in a small dish or saucer. Put the Olive Oil in a small saucer and extend your hands over it, praying that it be blessed. Pour a small amount into the top of the candle, set candle on paper inside saucer. Circle the candle with tobacco with a clockwise motion of the hand, to banish and release. Light candle and pray Psalm 23 (“The Lord is my Shepherd”). Let candle burn continuously until out.

    When candle is done, take candle out of saucer, fold tobacco inside the paper and carry it with a lighter to the gutter drain nearest your house. Light the paper, making sure you get a good burn. Drop lighted paper into drain (or what is left of it) and return home without looking back.

Sprinkle epsom salts on the floors, let set and sweep or vacuum up, disposing of the vacuum bag immediately at the front door. Sweep everything towards the front door. Wipe down home and floors from fartherst point of home towards front door.

    Banishing | Release of Negative Vibrations – Uncrossing Candle Spell

    This spell is really simple to do and you can use small finger-sized candles.

    I found some of these candles in one of our area drugstores, Long’s Drugs! Now I know where to send clients when they want to get a black candle in a hurry!

    Ingredients

    1 small free-standing Black Candle (not encased in glass)

    1 handful of Salt

    1 piece of white paper

    1 ceramic or glass dish, container or jar (that you will be disposing of at end of candle burn). Small jelly or honey jars, pickle or olive jars work best (make sure they are clean and dry).

    1 White 7-day glass Novena Candle

    Ice (enough for all the drains in the house)

    This spell is for when the home feels like there is negativity in it or if you have had a really bad fight or argument and you want to banish the energy and get on with the day.

    Clean candles with alcohol or lemon juice; let dry. Take the piece of paper and write a banishing incantation on it (i.e. “Energy of our last argument, be gone and leave this premises” or “Ill will and negativity leave this home, be carried by the wind to the Heavens and never to return”).

    Put the paper in the ceramic or glass container. Sprinkle it liberally with salt. Place black free-standing candle upright in the container. Tell the salt to heed what you have written on the paper. Tell the salt to carry away the negativity. Place container on front step. Sprinkle additional salt across the doorstep. dividing the space between you and the candle like this:

    You >>>>>|<<<<< Black Candle

    (the line between You and Black Candle in the above diagram is the salt line)

    Light candle and again state your intentions. Close your door, letting candle burn on porch or doorstep until out. Do not relight candle if it blows out; the work is done.

    Take all the ice you have in the home and equally fill each drain in the sinks and tubs with ice, letting it melt slowly to calm the area.

    Anoint the white candle with any of the benevolent oils (Blessing, Peace, Joy, Healing Condition Oils) or a teaspoon of Olive Oil that you have prayed over it for peace and happiness. Let it burn until candle is finished. Do not blow white candle out.

    When black candle has gone out, carry whole container to nearest gutter drain and dump the contents of the ceramic dish into drain (wax, paper and salt). Take glass container and place it into the recycling or garbage can outside your home. Keep salt line on your porch overnight; washing it away with a weak solution of Pine Sol or Chinese Wash and water, using a broom meant for outdoor use only to brush the solution as far towards the street as you can. Rinse off broom with garden hose and stand it upright in the corner of the porch to dry overnight.

    While the majority of uses for black candles is to cross someone or wish them ill will, the use of the black candle is to draw the negativity towards it, to burn it out and send it heavenward. The theory of “like attracts like”, meaning the dark negative energy will adhere to the dark candle is the intention here. the use of salt speaks of centuries of tradition that “salt will do what you tell it to do”; in this case, not only to absorb the negativity (salt in jar) but to also mark a line where the negativity cannot cross back into the home (salt line on porch). The use of Pine Sol (pine being Native American based) or Chinese Wash (African or Asian based) is traditional in clearing away negativity and bringing in good luck.
