Just as material stuff is clutter, so to can negative energy become clutter. Periodically take time to clear the space around you. Take one room at a time. Give it a good clean and air it then use crystals, oils, salt or reiki to clear the atmosphere.
Crystals scattered around a home will bring positive energies into the room. Particularly effective are clear quartz clusters set on top of TV sets to scatter the minute radio active waves and amethyst clusters to clear negativity. Try moving them around until you find the place where they feel most effective. To clear a room or space - use a well cleansed clear quartz crystal to charge a bowl of dry salt crystals for 24 hours. Sprinkle the charged salt in the corners of the room then along each wall. Pay particular attention to any doorways or windows. Leave for 24 hours then vacuum. Throw the salt away.
You can also use oils in a burner or in a dish of water set on top of radiator. Any fragrant oil will work but lavender is particularly useful, it will disperse negative energy and allow positive energy to come to the fore. The same effect is achieved with smudge sticks particularly sage and sweet grass. Or you can use incense sticks.
Using Reiki is powerful but even if you don't practice Reiki, 10 minute a day meditation in the same room will charge it with energy and subsequently make it easier to connect with your inner self every time you tune in. The same goes for Yoga or Tai Chi.
Use wind chimes to help spread the energy. Placed at the foot of a staircase will ensure the energy travels throughout the house not just straight upstairs. Placed at a window it will disperse negative energies in the form of "poison arrows" that come from roadways, sharp corners, or churches and steeples that tend to hog the energy for themselves. Places any where they catch the wind will bring simple pleasure too - that can't be bad can it?
In the same way be aware of where mirrors are placed. Try not to have any in the bedroom facing the bed or opposite doorways or windows. Remember that mirrors deflect energy so use common sense to either enhance incoming good energy or divert bad energy. If you are in any doubt just tune into your own sensitivity - try noticing how a particular room or area of a room feels "right" or makes you uncomfortable. You don't really need to know what exactly is wrong, just what makes it feel better. In all things trust your own instincts and you won't go far wrong. It is usually when we begin to intellectualize things that it gets most complicated.
An easy way to increase positive energy around your home is to introduce plenty of pot plants. Try to avoid dead things like pot pourri or dried flowers and keep the water in fresh flowers fresh. Avoid spiky or pointy leaved plants as they may act as "poison arrows" spearing your space and pointing the energy right at you. Just don't let them die.
COMPUTER PROTECTION
One area within our homes we need to think about now are where your computer is. Remember a computer equals working ie using your brain for an intellectual activity. So it is perhaps not a great idea to have it in a bedroom. If it must be there then at least cover it over when you go to bed. Not only will the screen act as a mirror it may still be emitting micro particles which effect or alter the electric activity of the body. It also helps to place a cluster of amethyst in front of the computer.
If you spend excessive periods of time in front of a computer screen perhaps you suffer from headaches, fatigue, stomach upsets, irritability, depression and anxiety. It is thought that emissions from computer screens can result in some of the above symptoms particularly for "sensitives", those people who pick up on energy patterns quickly. Chances are you are also uncomfortable in large shopping areas where there are lots of people all emitting their own, mostly negative, energies.
Tricks to surviving and enjoying the computer:
- Take frequent breaks away from the screen.
- Drink loads of plain water.
- Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea and alcohol.
- Fill your room with live green plants. They not only absorb negative energy they give out extra oxygen.
- Protect yourself with Reiki or mentally surround yourself with white light.
- Place an amethyst or rock crystal cluster in front of the screen to dissipate the energy waves. It must be a cluster. A single point will act as a laser and target the energy right to you.
All the above applies to TVs and microwave ovens. Simply covering them over at night or when they are not in use can help alleviate the effects.
