Amethyst<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nLastly, I want to tell you all about amethyst. Sometimes I feel like a bit of a cop-out recommending amethyst as I tend to recommend it for everything<\/em>. However, this is just a testament to how incredibly powerful it is. When used as a form of protection in the home, it can cleanse and dispel your home and all of those who enter it of negativity. The energy of amethyst is one of love, happiness, calm, tranquility, and contentment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAmethyst has a constant flow of energy, and for something so calming, it is a powerful little thing. The main reason I wanted to recommend this is because of the calm energy it fosters. It is very important that you replenish the energy of your home after you dispel it of negativity, and amethu=st is the perfect stone to use for this. Keep it at your door, by your bedside, and in any other room of your home to ensure calm and peace stays behind even after a huge cleansing session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is something of a cleansing stone in itself in that the calmness it produces can overpower any negative energy. You may even mind that you can extend this positive energy by keeping some amethyst on your person perhaps as a tumblestone or in some jewelry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
House cleansing methods for clearing negative energy <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow that you are all clued up on the top three crystals to use to help clear negative energy, it is time to explore some of the different active cleansing methods you can utilize in your home. Different cleansing methods are suited to different people, and even different homes. One method of clearing negative energy may work for you whilst another might not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working with energy is pretty much trial and error a lot of the time, but when you find what works for you hold onto it and utilize it often. Below are some of the best negative energy cleansing routines I\u2019ve ever used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incense cleansing <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis method of cleansing is relatively straightforward, especially since lots of people may already have some incense lying around the house. Choose incense that is pure and without any added chemicals or substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can choose incense that has cleansing properties such as frankincense. Light the stick, let it burn for a few seconds, and then blow it out when it starts to smoke. You will be left with a glowing ember and a line of smoke flowing from the stick or cone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carefully hold this and guide it through the rooms of your house, setting intentions to cleanse as you go. Imagine all of the negative energy being dispelled by the incense smoke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When all the rooms are cleansed, place the incense stick in a designated holder and let it finish burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smoke cleansing <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSmoke cleansing can be done by lighting bunches of dried herbs and then blowing out the flames, much in the same way as you would light an incense stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not be tempted to use sage or Palo Santo since these plants are slowly being threatened and becoming at risk of endangerment. They are two sacred herbs used by Native American and First Nations people and so should not be used by anyone other than these groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, you can choose homegrown dried sage, dried rosemary, dried thyme, or even dried lavender. All of these work to cleanse negative energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the stream of smoke is flowing, take it around all the rooms of your house and imagine the smoke is dispelling all the negative energy and cleansing the rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have finished you can extinguish it or leave it to burn down on a safe heat-proof and fire-proof surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
