Cleansing your Home
As with your aura, environments can attract negative energy by coming into contact with negative situations or people and need to be cleansed as well.
All the people who live in the home should participate in this ritual.
Ask your plants and animals to join their energy in the ritual, by combining all the energy available makes the cleansing more powerful by presenting a unified force.
In addition, by inviting every living being to participate it insures there will always be a guardian at home.
What you will need:
A fire safe cauldron
Sage
Cedar
Lavender
Starting at the heart of the house (the heart is the room where most of the activity takes place) fill the cauldron with sage and cedar; lit the herbs.
Once the herbs are burning, smoother the flames until you have embers but not an active flame. The more difficulty you have lighting the herbs, the more negativity you are dealing with.
Open a window or door to give the negativity an escape route. Once you have a steady stream of smoke, walk in a counter clockwise direction.
Saying:
“All negativity is banished, both the seen and the unseen, the direct and indirect. May this negativity be seen to the Goddesses/Gods to be dealt with appropriately. May all that is not for my best and highest good be released with love and respect.�?/STRONG>
Repeat until you have completely circled the room then move on to the next room in a counter clockwise direction until you have done every room.
Add the lavender and more sage if needed. Staring again the heart of the house, move in a clockwise direction.
Saying:
“I fill this room to over flowing with light, love and happiness. May prosperity of spirit, wisdom, and energy in all its forms fill this room into every nock and cranny. May only those who come from love and light be able to enter this room.�?/STRONG>
Repeat until you have circled the room once.
At every portal: window, door, utility connection, etc make a pentacle.
Say:
“May this portal be sealed with this sacred symbol so that only that which comes from love and light may enter.�?/STRONG>
Moving clockwise, go to the next room until the entire house has been blessed.
Returning to the heart of the house, invite whichever deities you feel close to protect and guide all those whom resident in the home.
Say a prayer of gratitude to end the cleansing.
These are only a few ways you can protect yourself and your environment from others�?negative thoughts and actions.
The best way to protect your energy is still maintain good health with proper rest, good nutrition, and a regular exercise routine.
Like a virus, negative energy finds it more difficult to successfully attack a healthy person.
