Feeling low, demotivated, and a heaviness all around you? It could be the energies in your home and life. While your living space is a safe haven where you expect to feel relaxed, happy, and at peace, sometimes, you experience the opposite. And it could all be due to unwanted energies that you are attracting. Just like dust accumulates on furniture, stagnant energy builds up in homes and lives over time. And if not cleared, it can quietly affect your peace, productivity, and even relationships.
Moreover, these energies not only determine the psychological and emotional state but also become an impediment to who you want to become. But how do you correct them?
There are a number of ways you can remove negative energies from your home and life. All you have to do is make a few changes as well as additions. Let’s break down each method.
- Clean & Clear Clutter
You know what the biggest magnet for negativity is? A cluttered and dirty space. Old, unused items, stacks of papers, or things lying around without purpose act like anchors, keeping energy from flowing freely. That is why, if you want to align energies in your home, you should begin with decluttering and cleaning your space.
Begin with small changes – tackle one corner, one drawer, or one shelf at a time, and before you know it, you’ve cleared and cleaned your home. Plus, you’ll definitely notice your own mood lighten too.
- Correct Vastu Imbalances
Sometimes, there’s more to the disharmony of energies than just a cluttered space. It could be your Vastu doshas that are to blame. Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture, suggests that energy flow can be improved by adjusting where you keep certain items, which direction doors face, or even by adding simple remedies like plants or crystals.
So, begin by making sure that the northeast zone of your home is stable and grounded. According to Vastu, it is the most auspicious corner of any home, associated with Saturn. Similarly, ensure that your puja room is correctly set up. These small corrections can make a big difference in balancing energies.
- Purify with Sage, Incense, or Sambrani
Did you know that sage, sandalwood, camphor, and the like have been credited with purifying negative energies? The fragrance of these herbs and plants is said to clear out heaviness and bring in freshness. And due to this, they have been a part of spiritual practices across cultures for centuries, from Christianity to Vedic traditions, and Feng Shui.
Light one in the morning or evening and let the smoke gently waft through your home. This practice will help create a sense of purity that resets the energy around you.
- Keep a Lamp Lit at all Times
An Akhand Jyot does more than illuminate the space. It invites positivity and spiritual strength. Many households leave the jyot burning in their puja room or living spaces to symbolize illumination of the mind, body, and spirit. Moreover, it is said to bring protection and blessings while warding off negativity.
- Use Sound (Wind Chimes, Tibetan Singing Bowls, and the Like)
Sound can be used as a tool for shaking off negative energy, especially from unassuming corners of your home. With the gentle tune of the wind chimes or the rich vibration of the Tibetan singing bowls, you can instantly shift the aura of your space. You can even play devotional music and chant mantras to clear out stagnant vibes and bring in natural energy flow.
- Place More Mirrors
Mirrors not only reflect images but also the energy in your space. With a thoughtful placement, you can use them to bounce light around the room, amplify positivity, and make spaces feel open and free.
However, make sure to avoid placing mirrors directly opposite beds or in places that feel unsettling. Instead, use them in hallways, living areas, or near plants to create a sense of light and depth.
- Add Religious Symbols & God Idols
The presence of a deity or religious symbol can instantly shift the energies in and around your house towards positivity. With additions like a Lord Ganesha statue, a wall-mounted cross, or a sacred yantra in the pooja room, you can fill your space with pleasant vibes. Plus, these symbols and idols act as reminders of strength and devotion, giving you comfort and reassurance while keeping away negative influences.
- Wear Rudraksha Beads
Now that the energies at your home are sorted, there comes a question: how do you save yourself from negativity outside? We have a very simple answer: wear a Rudraksha mala or bracelet. Considered sacred in the Hindu tradition, these beads are known to absorb negativity, bring focus, and offer mental clarity. Not only that, each bead has different mukhs (faces), said to deliver distinct benefits. Wearing one can fill your life with prosperity, peace, and spirituality.
Final Thoughts
Believe it or not, your home is a living, breathing space that reflects your inner world. By keeping it clean, balanced, and spiritually sustained, you create an environment where positivity flows naturally.
Remember, removing negative energy is, more than anything, a habit. It’s a way of living. So, start with one or two of these practices, and you’ll soon feel the difference in how your space and life flow.
