In our line of work, one of the commonly asked questions is how to remove negative energy from a person or space and in this article, we will share how you can do this on your own without having to engage a Sifu or so on.
Negative energies can come in various forms, which most people will not see but feel in most cases. This can badly impact your daily lives in work and relationships and disrupt the positive flow, resulting in everything going wrong.
How to Remove Negative Energy?
You may have read online or heard from people that one of the best ways to remove negative energy is by smudging with California white sage or Palo Santo. That is true, and just for your added information, many other types of herbs and resins can be used for this.
In the old days in Malaysia, people used to burn Kemenyan to cleanse their houses or businesses, which is still being practised by some people today. This is the same thing compared to today’s multiple choices of cleansing materials like resins and herbs.
Apart from the typical White Sage or Palo Santo that we read about on Google, there is also Frankincense, Myrrh and Dragon’s Blood resin, protection and cleansing crystals, black salt, singing bowls, healing oils or even candles that can also also be used to clear away negative energies.
Each of the items listed below has its way of use, and I will share them here;
- White Sage – Burn it in a bundle or loose leaves over a bowl or abalone shell and walk in a clockwise manner to cleanse an area, space, or even person.
- Other Sages – Many other sages, like Dragon’s Blood Sage, Blessing Sage, Cedar and others, can be used for cleansing and purifying.
- Palo Santo – BurningDragon’sck or shredding it into pieces, burning it in a shell/container, and cleansing a space or area. Some people prefer using the Palo Santo incense as it is easier to burn.
- Frankincense Resin – This sacred resin is thought to be one of the best ways to remove negative energies by burning it over a gold charcoal tablet and cleansing a space or area with smoke.
- Dragon’s Blood Resin – Burning dragon’s blood resin over a gold charcoal tablet or mixing with other herbs, known to be powerful in cleansing or used as an amplifier with other herbs and resins.
- Crystals – Black Tourmaline crystals are known to be the best in removing, absorbing or protecting from negative energies. Place them at corners or the entrance of a home or business.
- Singing Bowls – Cleansing an area by playing the singing bowl or striking it with a mallet as you go around your space.
- Black Salt – Place black salt at the four corners of your room, house, office or shop. Another way is to sprinkle in front of your entrance as an invisible fence to block out unwanted bad energies.
- Using Energy Healing Oils – No, not essential oils, but specially made external use energy healing oils to help clear away negativity. Specialists only make these, and we at Green Daun have been making these unique negative cleansing oils for years now. You can test these oils at our new age shop.
- Burning Special Intention Candles – These are not ordinary candles you see online (like handmade ones or Yankee), but intention-purposed candles that we make at Green Daun. They are specific candles like Protection Candles, which you can burn to protect your space.
Important: You must have a positive intent when cleansing your space to remove negative energies. It means that you should not be angry, sad, frustrated or depressed when performing any smudging or cleansing.
Types of Energies
Before you continue reading, you should know that negative or evil energies come in various levels, and I will try my best to explain this as simply as possible.
Energies can be categorised under various levels, ranging from mild to intense energy. Sometimes, the energy can be really bad, classified as a disruptive kind of energy, which will create chaos in our daily lives.
The energy levels can only be measured by someone who can feel or see them, and it is often hard to gauge them by ourselves, hence why we often overlook this as one of the causes of our sudden change or downfall.
It also means that the ordinary person cannot tell what type of negative energy is in their space or surrounds them because they cannot feel it and pass it off as nothing. When it starts to be a problem affecting our daily lives, we should acknowledge it by taking action.
How do you know if you have attracted Negative Energy?
This is a common question that many people will ask, and I will do my best to explain it as simple as possible. Those who can feel them would instantly know the feeling.
However, for those who are unable to feel, below are some signs of negative energy you can look out for;
- Heavy Shoulders – A sudden weight on your shoulders is felt throughout the day and gets worse at night.
- Feeling Extremely Tired – Extra tiredness is felt throughout the day, even in the morning when you just woke up, even after a good night’s rest and with a balanced diet. You experience ups, and downs like a rollercoaster, and you feel bad about yourself.
- Feeling Frustrated – You feel stressed and unable to cope with everyday activities while everything was fine before. Plus, you find it challenging to care for yourself, and you cannot find any time for yourself.
- Feeling Very Negative – A sudden change in your thoughts to become negative for just about anything.
- Loss of Focus – You feel unable to concentrate as your mind tends to focus on random things while you experience a feeling of emptiness.
- Communication Failure – Your overall communication is affected; people seem not to understand you, and you feel that you don’t understand others.
- Constant Arguing – You suddenly find yourself arguing with your loved one more or even with family members, friends, or colleagues.
- Character Change – You may witness a drastic change in your character or another person who is not the usual character.
- Change in Immunity – You are suddenly more prone to infections than usual and start getting sick more often.
- Uneasy Sleep – Your sleep pattern is affected by strange dreams and nightmares while your subconscious mind alerts you that something is incorrect.
Where Does Negative Energy Come From?
This is another common question asked, and one of the best ways that negative energies appear in your home is that you or someone at home unknowingly carried it back from somewhere.
Negative energy is found everywhere: in homes, open spaces, hospitals, offices and just about anywhere. This means that we will never know where we picked it up from.
Hence, when we feel uncomfortable at times at a particular place, this could be a tell-sign that the area is not good or carries bad energy. When you feel this, cleaning yourself immediately or getting home is best.
This is why some people choose to carry a small bottle of energy sanitiser or smudging spray in their bag or car, especially if they are very sensitive to energy.
It is also highly recommended that after you visit a funeral, cemetery or hospital, you should cleanse yourself as these places are well known to carry a lot of negative or bad energy.
How do you remove severe or stubborn negative energy?
This is a little harder than usual when the energy is too strong. You will know that when you do a cleansing on yourself or your space, the energy is stubborn and makes it a little more complicated.
When you cannot cleanse stubborn energies, there are two ways you can go about this. One is to try a much stronger resin, Myrrh, to wake up the stubborn energies and Black Frankincense to cleanse them.
And if the stubborn energy is still there, perhaps you may need to call in a specialist to do the cleansing for you. In most common cases, people will call a master, sifu, pawang or priest to cleanse the space or person. But we will advise you not to engage in an online one as too many untrustworthy people are out there.
If you are still clueless or need to know more, you can always visit our retail new age shop in PJ, and we can assist you in using some of the products to cleanse your space. You must believe in this; otherwise, it is pointless if you do not believe in it.
