Call me superstitious, but I always sage every room of a new home before moving in. I do this with the goal of cleansing the house, and warding off any negative energy or spirits that may be residing there. Negative energy in a home can be the result of former inhabitants, or stressful situations and people that you’re dealing with in your own life. Regardless of the source, negative energy is definitely not something you want floating around your home. Thankfully, there is an extremely easy way to get rid of it.
According to The Limitless Minds, people, inanimate objects, and spaces can retain energetic residue. Emotional energy (including negative energy) can attach itself to things and linger there. But making a negative energy water trap can rid this bad energy, making room for light, positive energy. Here’s what you’ll need:
2 tablespoons of white vinegar
2 teaspoons of granulated salt
16 ounces of filtered water
All you have to do is get a clear glass and add in all of the ingredients. Mix well for 60 seconds. Position the glass in a place you spend a lot of time in, and leave it there for one complete day. Check to see if the salt is rising. Once it stops, it has captured all of the negative energy and you can cleanse another area of the house.
Even if you don’t believe your home to have any negative energy floating around, objects and spaces within your home could be holding on to bad vibes that are so subtle, you aren’t aware of them. While this water trap is great for cleansing energy inside a room, many traditions also focus on protecting the home’s entrance with a symbolic elephant statue to prevent negativity from entering in the first place. This is such a quick, simple experiment, and it could transform your home into a calm, relaxed space where you enjoy spending time.
Once you’ve cleansed the space with this method, you can help maintain the good energy. Many people use salt lamps for this purpose. Discover the Himalayan salt lamp benefits and see if one is right for your home.
