A home is supposed to be a space of comfort where you can return to decompress and relax at the end of the day. It is a sacred space just for you aimed to cater to your needs. But there may come a time when your home does not feel like it used to, like something is off, or you just don’t feel excited to get home like you used to. It’s not that there is something wrong with you, but that there may be something wrong with your home. Just like with you, your home can become drained of energy and need to be balanced out again. You may not be able to tell if your home needs a rebalance until it hits you hard, but there are some light signs you can look out for. If you start to notice any of these signs, it may be time to rebalance your home. Here are a few things to look out for regarding your home’s energy balance and how you can correct each one.
The positions of items in your home can significantly impact the energies that they bring in. You may grow accustomed to the energies brought in, but sometimes these energies may become imbalanced. If you find yourself rearranging items in your home more frequently or not being satisfied with how something looks in a room, you will know if this has happened. To combat this frustration, do some research on feng shui. Feng shui focuses on the energies that items positioned in a room can bring. So, by having a better understanding of the properties of feng shui, you will know where an item needs to be placed to help rebalance your home.
Your home is meant to be a place to recharge after a long day of work or being out on the town. But if you feel even more drained coming home, you are not getting the recharge you need. Your home could even be draining your energy while trying to restore its own. To combat this, you can place energy crystals in critical areas of your home, like where you sleep or where people gather the most. These energy crystals can offer another source of energy for you and your home to partake in. This way, both get the energy that they need back without expending each other’s energy. As a plus, you can recharge these crystals quickly by placing them outside under the moon or performing a charging ritual.
You most likely have your favorite spot in your home you love to lay back in and watch your favorite shows or read a good book. It is a place where you can relax and be lazy, but when that spot of comfort is no longer comfortable, you may need to switch things up. If you never rearrange your relaxation spot, you can drive yourself into a slump. Try changing things around like puffing up some cushions, cleaning up the area, or maybe even adding some new decorations. By keeping things different, not only are you entertaining yourself, but you are also preventing your energy from slipping into a routine that will have a hard time changing or accepting if something needs to be altered.
While it may seem odd, having a sudden bout of bad luck can be traced back to your home being out of balance. Your home normally provides you with positive energies, which can then turn into you having good luck. But, if you are not getting a constant flow of positive energy, then any signs of good luck will be nullified, and only bad luck will follow you. To fix this, you can carry lucky charms around with you, like a horseshoe, rabbit’s foot, or four-leafed clover. You can also display these items in your home to give it some helpful aid in rebalancing energies and bringing good luck again.
Sometimes, you may not be enough to bring balance into your home; you may need a little extra help. The help can come in the form of tools, stones, or even a holiday. Mabon, for example, is a prime time for spells focused on balance and protection. During Mabon, the hours of light and dark are balanced, neither being longer than the other, so spells focusing on balance will have their highest success rate. Mabon is also when the seasons shift to newer colder ones, so those growing crops only have a couple of months to grow them before the winter. Because of this, Mabon offers protection spell enhancements, which Witches can use to boost the protective energies that their home naturally offers. So you can balance the energies in your home and boost its protective properties all during Mabon so you can be set for the remainder of the year.
Every Witch needs a place to go where they feel the most relaxed and at peace. So if you feel like your home is not providing that for you, you need to rebalance the energies. Sometimes, it can be something simple, like moving an object to a different part of the house or changing your relaxation spot. Other times, you may need extra help to balance your home, like using Mabon and its natural balancing aura. Whatever way that you may need to correct your home, do not hesitate to try and experiment. By trial and error, you will be able to pinpoint better what area in your home needs the most work, which will help you maintain balance better. The last thing any Witch wants is not to feel welcomed in their sacred place. So, reach out and get in touch with your home so you can have your comfortable space back.
This spell should be performed during Mabon. Try to aim for when the sun is setting. The room you work in must get the most sun. Clear out a spot in the center of the room you can work in.
Start by placing the rock, feather, matches, and bowl of water in the center of the room in the Elemental correspondence direction. If you aren’t sure what item goes in what direction, north is Earth, east is Air, south is Fire, west is Water. Ensure that the items are spaced out far enough, so you have room to sit in the center.
Decorate the outside of where the elements are placed with the elements of autumn. Circle the elements so that they’re surrounded in a large circle. As you place the elements of autumn down, say the following:
“Elements of Mabon, I do say
That with your help I will no longer pay
For the pains of an unbalanced home
That makes me feel so alone.
May your elements guide in a better home for me to rest
No longer needing to protest
For a better tomorrow.”
Once the items have been placed, sit down in the center. Place the black candle on your left side and the white candle on your right. Borrow a match from the element of Fire to light the black candle. Close your eyes and focus on what you believe is causing your home’s unbalanced energies. If you’re unsure of the reason, focus instead on the disbalance your home is making you feel. Meditate on that conflicting energy, and soon it shall be revealed to you what is causing the disbalance.
When you’ve become aware of what is causing the disbalance of energies, pick up the black candle with your left hand and the white with your right. Say the following:
“Energies imbalanced I speak to you
In my goal to cast you out anew
And to bring the energies in my home
Back to the balance for which I atone.”
Light the white candle using the black one and set the candles back in their places. Stand up from where you’re sitting and place the quartz crystal in your place.
Say the following to close the spell:
“Quartz so clear I leave it to you now
To bring the energies in my home back without a frown
So that I may feel balanced once again.”
Leave the candles burning until the sun sets, and leave the items out overnight. You should start to feel a change in energy in your home. Repeat the spell for two days for the full effect.
