Clearing Negative Energy from a space

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I have a perplexing issue, I'm hoping to get some

insight into. I am subletting an apartment in

Berkeley, CA and have lived in it for about 4 months

now. Since moving in I have been unable to sleep and

have been sensing negative energy in the place. At

first I thought it was just the fact of being

somewhere new, then i thought it was just my stress,

then i thought it may be my roommate, but it hasn't

changed. I feel, for the most part, positive and

healthy and strong, but when I enter the apartment or

when I am there for more than a couple of hours, I

feel that my energy is being drained and I feel

worried and as sense of closing off.

 

My boyfriend says that he feels a strange energy there

as well and that every time he spends the night, he

feels exhausted. He gets tired from being in the

apartment after just a few hours and when he wakes up,

he says it feels like he was drugged. I can't sleep

much at all.

 

Recently I've been becoming more in tune with the

energy emitted from my surroundings and am more able

to identify the source of both negative and positive

energy. Both my boyfriend and I believe that the

people living downstairs are emitting extremely

negative energy--they have a baby that cries a lot, at

the oddest times, and in a way that sounds miserable

rather than needy. And when I pass the man in the

hallways I almost always want to shudder for no

apparent reason.

 

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is any way to clear the

space of this negative energy so that I can go home

without a sense of dread and sleep a peaceful sleep at

night.

 

any help is appreciated.

 

thanks in advance...

carla

Hi Carla:

 

First off, I would suggest that you " send love downstairs " . Hunting a culprit

for

your negative feelings is probably making you edgy, fearful and a little

paranoid. Perhaps these people are not what they seem to you. Perhaps they

are.

Either way, it will not hurt to center yourself and send love to them. If they

reject it energetically, it will never be wasted; giving love is never wasted.

Have you considered the possibility that they are affected by the " negative "

energy of the home, as well?

 

You may want to look at a couple of possibilities... first, that the apartment

building itself is on some sort of ley line or negative vortex, and second, that

your space needs to be cleared of old energetic detritus from previous tenants

(and maybe even the spirits of previous tenants ;-)

 

The first thing you can do is a clearing ritual with your roommate and your

partner. If you have smoke detectors, you should avoid sage, but otherwise

that's

a good material, and you may be able to find it in incense or essential oil form

that is not as smoky as smudge sticks or loose leaf sage. Open all the windows

in

the apartment and the doors, and start in the center of the apartment and work

outwards, smudging every corner and closet with a blessing for peace, happiness

and prosperity. Accentuate the positive in your blessing. If you are religious

you might also consider having a minister, priest, rabbi, shaman or priestess

come

in and bless your home.

 

If after that you continue to experience strange vibes in your home, it may be

time to bring in " the big dogs " ; in other words, find yourself someone who is

experienced in working with fixed energy patterns, such as discarnate spirits

and

leftovers from traumatic events (they can leave an energy imprint on an area

like

a film loop that we 'pick up' when we encounter it). I say find someone

experienced, because if you don't know what you are doing you may be lucky, and

then again, you may just move things without getting rid of them. As a worst

case, you can irritate a resident spirit if you have one, and then you might

have

a poltergeist.

 

I know it sounds strange to say this, but people who do this are not that rare.

See if you have a local group of paranormalists or spiritualists or a medium who

can assess your space. They will either do a releasement for the energy/spirit

or

tell you what will satisfy the spirit so that it will leave on its own.

 

Good luck and Blessings,

Crow

Carla...

 

Put 1/2 cup of sea salt in a container that will hold a cup

of water (using distilled water is best) and that you do not

intend to use for other purposes. Add the cup of water.

Put the container under the bed if possible.

 

In the morning, flush the solution down the toilet. Refill

the container, and then flush that as well. Do that every

night for a while.

 

Get some sage (incense or the actual stuff) and smudge the

apartment. Many of the books on shamanism will tell you how

to do this. See THE LAST GHOST DANCE, by Brooke Medicine

Eagle, or SAMAN, HEALER, SAGE, by Alberto Villoldo.

 

Good luck.

Hi Carla,

 

The technique I like the most for clearing my space...either home or

office...is the " Triple Grid " . This comes from the book, " What is

Lightbody " . It is easy to do and very effective. You can find it (and a

lot of other neat things to do) here:

Thanks Joel!

 

I'll try these suggestions tonight!

 

Thanks again,

Hi, Carla...

 

Here are some ideas I had in a file on my PC:

 

As much as we need to cleanse ourselves, sometimes our homes and

offices need a good energy cleansing as well. Here are some

techniques which might help:

 

The Room Wind Sweep

 

Imagine that a rush of wind can be created, which blows all dense

energy out a window or door. Use your arms to create a sweeping

motion in the direction the energy should go.

 

Sage/Cedar

 

Burn sage or cedar, and allow the smoke to help clear the room of

energy. Sage is good for " everyday " energy cleansing; cedar is used

for those difficult and stubborn energies that don't seem to get

cleansed by sage.

 

Candles

 

Hold a candle in your hands, imagining a clear mountain stream, for 5

minutes. Light the candle, and as it burns, your image of the stream

is released into the area.

 

Music

 

Bright, light music can help alleviate dense energy in a home or

office. Classical, new age, or " smooth jazz " seems to work best. Be

aware that Rock `n Roll tends to increase the energy in an area, not

decrease it.

 

Good Old-fashioned Cleaning

 

When all else fails, get out the dusting rag and vacuum. Often a good

old-fashioned Spring Cleaning will cleanse a house of denseness

better than anything else. Even if it is winter, open the windows for

a few minutes to let fresh air in. If you are in an office, take all

the papers off your desk and wipe down the desk surface.

 

Peace,

Karyn

how should one burn the sage leaves? or cedar leaves?

[Guest guest]

Anat:

 

I have a large smudge bowl (it is an abalone shell) that I use to burn loose

leaf sage and cedar twigs outdoors or

in a place free of smoke alarms. It is *very* smoky, especially the white leaf

sage, which is different from the

wild sage they use in smudge sticks (but that is smoky enough ;-) Neither is the

same kind of sage you use in

cooking. You can also burn dried lavender and cedar chips in the smudge.

 

If you just want a bit, you can burn a pinch or a single leaf of the white sage

in a small ashtray or a pan you

don't care much about. I routinely do the single leaf routine to smudge myself

when I'm in a place that has

proven intolerant of much smoke, like my office. (When I did my cleansing

ceremony for my office a couple of

years ago I set off the great honking fire alarms and the fire department came

in yellow slicker suits, bearing

giant exhaust fans... I don't recommend you try that where you are <LOL>)

 

You can put it out by smothering it or simply putting water on the burning

leaves. I've found the smudge sticks

are hard to light, hard to keep lit, and when they finally do light, hard to put

out.

 

YMMV,

Crow
