Protecting Your Home from Negative Energies

Negative energies have a way of generating, especially when there is a mass accumulation of energy gathering in a central location. When negative energies start to grow, it can quickly cause issues for the people and places around it. The negative energies will prevent good occurrences from happening and will increase the number of unfortunate situations occurring. If you feel like negative energies surround you, you may be wondering what you can do to get rid of it. Getting rid of negative energies is not as difficult as it seems, but before trying to get rid of any negative energies around you, let’s learn how negative energies come to be in the first place.

How Does Negative Energy Grow?

Negative energy starts to grow when someone allows themselves to start thinking negatively. Anything can cause negative energies to grow, from having a bad day, thinking ill thoughts, or by having an outburst of anger from something annoying. Negative energy is one of the fastest powers to grow. Undeniably, people can cause negative energies to develop just by merely thinking about them. One person thinking negatively can create a small number of negative energies to grow. Still, when there is a large group of people thinking the same negative thoughts, negative energies will take advantage of that. The more the same negative thoughts are conceived by multiple people, the stronger the negative energy will get, spread, and cause others to fall in the same state of negative emotions.

You need to be careful if you are around someone in a bad mood or if there happens to be a crisis going on locally causing people to worry. If you let the budding negative energies from others come over you, then you will have fallen into the same negative energy trap that could lead to your versions of suffering, or spreading the negative energies further to others.

How Does Negative Energy Get in the Home?

There are two main ways for negative energies to enter your home, through objects and people.

Let’s go over the specifics of how the negative energies travel with each source.

Through Items

As we know, items are great vessels to carry energies from one place to another. You can set an item in an environment, and it will absorb the energies around it. While the ease of energy absorption is useful for Witches, it can be troublesome for them too. While these items travel around or stay in a specific environment, it will absorb any energy it meets. If an item is older, it could have years of energies collected in it. If you are not careful, the energies that the items have accumulated could leave it and spread into the environment they are in. Since energies can leave items just as fast as they enter it, Witches need to cleanse any new objects coming into their homes. If you do not cleanse the items, then you are asking for the negative energies to escape and influence you and those in your home.

Through People

Just like items, people can easily absorb and be influenced by the energies around them. If you surround yourself or are regularly exposed to people who live in a world of negativity, then you are most likely to absorb their negative energies. You may not be aware of the negative energies you have absorbed unless you start to feel down in the dumps as well. And, if you are not aware of the negative energies until they show themselves to you, you are spreading the energies to others as well. Think of it as a cold. When one person has it, they may not show signs immediately, but they are still able to spread the cold and get others sick.

You need to be careful if you know someone is having a bad day or has been in constant negative thoughts if you want them to come over to your home. By willingly allowing these people to come into your home, you are also welcoming the negative energies they carry, which may or may not decide to stay and manifest in your home. Think of negative energies like a vampire. They can only come inside of your home if you welcome them in. And when you welcome the negative energies in, you are also welcoming the pain and turmoil that comes with them.

Protecting Your Home from Negative Energies

If you feel like you have an abundance of negative energies or want to do a cleansing in your home, there are several ways you can do so. Here are five of the easiest to do methods to start cleansing your home, banishing negative energies, and protecting your home from negative energies growing again.

Herbs

Herbs are easy for Witches to obtain and use. When you think protection herbs, the first that comes to thought may be salt and sage, which are strong protectors against negative energies and are perfect cleansing tools. But there are other herbs you can use that you can either sprinkle at the entrances and windows of your home or hang in the doorways to collect negative energies before they enter your home.

Many of these herbs can be used as-is, while others work best when burned. Here are some helpful herbs that will work to cleanse and protect against negative energies of all sorts.

-Anise

-Basil

-Black Pepper

-Cayenne

-Cloves

-Garlic

-Rosemary

-Coconut

Stones/Gems

Stones and gems can easily absorb energies without needing physical contact. The powers that they put out can sense other energies in the field and suck them in. Think of stones and gems as bottles that can be filled and emptied. You can reuse stones and gems as many times as you like so long as you practice regular cleansing with them. You can always keep a protection stone in your home, and it will work without needing your assistance to absorb the negative energies in your home. Here are some stones and gems that readily absorb negative energies.

-Amber

-Amethyst

-Black Obsidian

-Clear Quartz

-Hematite

-Jet

-Labradorite

-Moonstone

-Selenite

-Tourmaline

Elements

Every Element has its version of protection energy that it offers. The protection offered by the Elements varies in what is needed. For example, Fire energy has a more direct way of protection, while the Water Element has a flowing and more relaxed version of protection. Depending on how much or what type of protection you need will influence on what Element you should focus on using. You can use all the Elements for protection purposes, so long as you individualize each one instead of forcing them to try and come together.

Sigils

Sigils are symbols you can draw on your door or outside in your yard that will stop negative energies from entering your home, be it from an item or a person. You can draw Sigils that you feel will protect your home, or you can research for specific protection Sigils you can use. The Sigils can be drawn for a short time use or carved for long-time protection. But for the long-time protection one, you may need to do a cleansing ritual to banish the energies the Sigil has collected.

Magic Bags

Magic Bags are made of a variety of items with similar energies that work together to absorb or banish energies. You want to be sure that every element of the Magic Bag, even the bag color itself, will work together for the goal that you want. When you make a Magic Bag, hang it over the central doorway of your home, or in the room that people use the most. There is one downfall with using Magic Bags, though. When a Magic Bag is used up, you cannot open it, or the negative energies you have collected will be released. Instead, you need to take the Magic Bag as far away from your home as possible and bury it. Since the items in the Magic Bag cannot be reused, some Witches may not want to try Magic Bags unless it is a last resort.

Negative energies can be scary when they are left to stay and grow out of control. But, when you take the initiative to try and get rid of the negative energies before they have a chance to grow, you will be able to avoid painful or harmful situations. Any of the methods that were listed can work wonders to get rid of collected negative energies.

You do not have to limit yourself to one specific way, though. You can use all of the methods together to get rid of the negative energies in your home, especially if you suspect that negative energies are abundant in your home, or you have never cleansed your home before. Once your home has been cleansed of negative energies, hidden or sensed, you should feel an immediate relief. The cleansing will then open up the possibility for positive energies to grow instead.
