3 Easy Ways to Clear Your Own Energy

3 Easy Ways to Clear Your Own Energy

A natural side effect of simply existing, is that we pick up the energies of places we visit, people we're around, and our home environment. There's really no way to avoid it, and if you start to feel as though you're down in the dumps, or always looking at things with a negative perspective, chances are you may be walking around with unwanted energetic "goo."

It's a lot like driving your car around town and picking up dirt, mud, window spots, and the occasional bug on the windshield. Every so often, you just have to take it to the car wash and get it all spruced up. Human beings are no different when it comes to energy, but luckily this is something that is easily fixable!

When working with energy, your intention behind it is key. There are a number of tools you can use (or no tools) and the results will be the same as long as your intention is the same. If you are not comfortable clearing your own energy, I would highly recommend going in for a Reiki or other type of energetic session to have that done. But, I'm going to give you three easy ways to clear your own energy below, that I think you'll have no trouble doing!

1. The Waterfall Method

That car wash analogy is more accurate than you may realize, as you can easily cleanse negative energy from yourself in your morning (or evening) shower. As I mentioned earlier, your intention is the most important thing. Think it. Believe it. That's all there is to it.

The next time you are taking a shower, simply stand under the water as it's running over you and say to yourself, "as this water runs over my body let it remove any and all negative energy that may be present in my energetic body, and let it wash away any and all energy that is not for my highest good." As you are thinking that (or something to that effect) imagine a beautiful white golden light slowly washing over you from the top of your head to your toes and imagine it washing away all the "dirt" of negative energy down the drain. Keep thinking that phrase and imagining the light until you feel as though a weight has been lifted.

This is a great way to clear energy if you are out in a rainstorm too! Imagine that beautiful clean and clear water from the skies washing away all of your worries!

2. The Wind Method

This method basically follows the same process as the Waterfall Method, only you can do this outside in a breeze. In Wyoming we regularly get very strong winds, so this is something we can do here pretty much every day!

Stand outside in the wind and imagine the wind blowing away any and all residual negative energy you may be carrying. Imagine it blowing off pieces of negativity and carrying that energy away on the breeze to be transmuted into positive energy again. As you are imagining that visual image, also say to yourself something along the lines of, "I release any and all energy that is not for my highest good to the wind to be carried off and away from me."

3. The Selenite Method

This process is a bit more intense from personal experience. The first two methods are fantastic for clearing out that day to day negative energetic clutter that we pick up, but this method is more of a deep cleaning.

Take a piece of Selenite and hold it in your hands. While holding it, imagine yourself releasing any and all negativity, trauma, depression, anger, resentment, etc. from your life into the stone. Think to yourself, "I am releasing all of my fear, worries, anxiety...(whatever you wish to let go of) into this Selenite stone to be transmuted into positive energy. I am ready and willing to let these energies go."

From my personal experience and the experiences of others who have done this, you may be shocked at what "comes out." You may suddenly remember some embarrassing moment from junior high school that you'd completely forgotten about, but was mortifying at the time. When this happens, your subconscious has hung onto that event and is still carrying that negative energy associated with it. When it comes up while you're doing this, that's a sign that you are finally releasing the energy connected to it. You will still remember the event, but it won't carry the same sting of embarrassment as it did before.

The more you do this, the more you will release. It's a fantastic way to deep clean your energy and Selenite is a self-cleansing stone so you do not need to cleanse the Selenite after you do this, or worry that all that energy is now sitting in your stone. It's not. The Selenite will pull it from you and clear it, but you need to set the intention for it to do that.

4. Helpful Tips

Whenever I am about to do any type of energy work, whether it's giving someone Reiki or energy healing, clearing my house, clearing my own energy, mediumship work--anything--I always call in my spirit guides and angels to assist me. Everyone has at least one dedicated spirit guide, and we all have angels to call on for just this type of thing. They are waiting to help you on the other side, so ask them! You can even ask a loved one on the other side--your grandmother, father, sibling, etc. Anyone you feel comfortable with is a good person to ask. If you had a real no-nonsense granny who was very protective, she is probably a great choice to help you clear out that bad energy that you're carrying around.

The most important thing I can tell you is to reiterate how important your intention is. That is the key behind everything. You can have all the sage bundles and crystals in the world, but if you don't believe in your power to use them, they won't do much. State clearly and concisely what you are wanting to do with these methods, visualize it happening, and KNOW that it worked. You may feel as though you need to repeat these clearings pretty often and that is totally okay and normal. That doesn't mean it didn't work the first time, it just means that you have more to clean. Just like it might take a few days to clean that cluttered basement, just because it didn't get completely done in one day doesn't mean it isn't getting cleaned.

If you work in a very negative environment (hospital, nursing home, schools, etc.) where there are a lot of people going in and out and many of them are stressed, you may find yourself using the Waterfall Method daily. That is completely okay, and is something that we all can do. It never hurts to clear negative energy!

I hope these few tips are helpful and there are many, many other ways to clear energy too! These are just some of the methods that I use on a regular basis.
