Vibrational Cleansing for the Home

By Lisa Seelandt

Your home is where the heart is. It is the place where you are most surrounded with YOUR energies. Whether you live alone or share your home with a family grouping, the patterns of each individual greatly affect the vibrational patterns within the home. Just as human beings have specific vibrational patterns, so does your environment. As we become more aware and enlightened about vibrational field patterns, attention has turned to the patterns within the home.

Many of us have experienced unexplained feelings of negativity either through direct contact with a person, place, or thing. You might choose not to buy a certain house because you did not like the feeling in the house. Certain persons may evoke negative responses from other individuals for unknown reasons, or they may know individuals who tend to affect them negatively. These are the people with the proverbial dark cloud over their heads. These people are quite capable of weakening and draining the energies of others often without realizing it.

Within our homes the residual energies of our positive and negative experiences linger. If we reside in an old home, then the residual energies of previous inhabitants are co-mingled with our own energies. These energies are the stuff of life, both positive and negative. Sensitive people are able to notice the subtle changes of energies inside a dwelling especially after an argument.

We must realize that spiritual negativity can affect our homes in the same way that negativity affects us personally. During arguments within the home, energy thought forms are charged with negative emotions. It is this negative emotional energy that is projected during an argument. Negative emotional energy can attain a life of its own. The projected emotional energy feeds these thought forms. Throughout the years the accumulation of these negative energies continues to escalate and to attract more negative energy thought forms.

In the field of paranormal study, ghost hunters have referenced residual haunting effects that reference remnants of energy particles that remain throughout centuries. Murders and tragic situations that occurred within dwellings contain highly charged energy remnants that can be experienced and/or felt by sensitives. Sometimes people who are not considered sensitives respond to these situations within a dwelling without realizing why they are experiencing headaches, tension, sadness, and other negative emotions associated with the pattern within the home.

Many sensitives are able to connect with the heart of a home. Some homes carry negative residual energies that can be easily felt by those sensitive enough to feel the accumulation of such energies. It is these remnant energies that eventually become the sum total of the home energy. Does your home contain previous arguments and remnants of old psychic debris? Is the sum total of your home rampant negativity, confusion, turmoil, and dissension?

Indirect psychic energy creates turbulence within a home. This is the energy that occurs most readily when a child enters puberty. As a child poises on the threshold of adulthood, the energy levels within the child's body change dramatically. These changing energy levels can be accompanied by changes in the child's psychic patterning. Indirect psychic energy creates turmoil within a home. The energy emitted by a child feeds off of the existing, accumulated thought form energies and builds upon them. The increases in total energy are dramatic, and parents are urged to dissipate these energies as they form. Any excess in this energy can create a strain on marriages and within the home life of persons with pubescent children. Ask parents of pre-teens whether they have experienced upheaval as the child reaches puberty. To restore the harmony and balance within a home, there are a few techniques that have been known through the ages to "calm a house." I offer these techniques as a means of spiritual house cleaning to calm the negative energies, to assist them in their dissipation, and to introduce lighter energies and calm within the home.

Flowers and Plants

Surround your home with plants and flowers. Live things add life. They help to increase oxygen levels within the home and are of a positive growth vibrational frequency. Plants and flowers are known to absorb negativity and like all living energy forms are able to draw out negativity and absorb it. The custom of giving flowers to the sick was thought to assist the sufferer by drawing out the negative energies. In particular there are certain flowers that correspond to certain needs:

Carnations remove mental and emotional turmoil.
Chrysanthemums are the flowers of the new mother because of their vibrations. These are the best flowers to be placed in hospitals or in a nursery.
Gardenias promote goodwill towards fellow man and absorb vibrations of marital discord. Gardenias are particularly helpful for marriages that are experiencing stress.
Lilies are the flowers for new beginnings.
Roses carry forth the vibration of love. They are able to absorb the negativity of a home. White roses absorb all that is impure.

Water Remedy

A bowl of water placed in a room where parties are arguing results in a reduction of the heat and tension of an argument. Water is a vessel for negativity. The water should be removed approximately one hour after the release of any and all tensions associated with the argument.

Ammonia

This powerful smelling cleaner calms a home and makes it a more pleasant place to live. Spiritual practitioners have known that certain odors are more powerful than others are. That is why certain incenses are thought to provide relief to negative situations by acting as a kind of astral knife that cuts out the negative while attracting to it that which is good. Pouring ammonia down every drain in the house at least once a week is a good practice to follow. This action encourages the removal of negative influences. Cleaning a place with a compound of creosote oil, ammonia, and sea salt will remove the most negative thought forms that linger in a home. These ingredients added to four gallons of hot water should first be used to mop the floor and clean it. The same solution should then be used again and not mopped away. The home feels calmer and lighter due to the elimination of unwanted emotional energy.

Fresh Air

Open up your windows and let the fresh air and sunshine in. The fresh air dispels negativity and the sunlight allows rays from our life-giving sun to penetrate into our homes.

Incense

For thousands of years the Catholic Church recognized the importance of incense and continues to use it for rituals, high benedictions and masses. Incense was thought to dispel negativity while bringing the astral realms closer and to provide a more spiritual vibration. The following incenses can be used for spiritual housecleaning:

Frankincense is one of the incenses that were bestowed upon the infant Jesus by the three wise men. It is probably one of the most widely used incenses since it is thought to evoke a spiritually elevating influence upon a place.
Myrrh was also bestowed upon the infant Jesus by the wise men. Myrrh is a powerful incense that brings the astral realms closer. Unless myrrh is mixed with another more elevating incense, it can create negativity for a person who is not cautious with its usage. For this reason it should be noted that myrrh should never be used alone. It should always be mixed with frankincense for this mixture brings in a relaxed spiritual vibration.

More commonly known incenses with beneficial effects are:

Rose can calm a home by transmuting the negative to the positive.
Jasmine promotes mental calmness.
Sandalwood calms and soothes.

Naturally, there are other ways to calm the energies within a home. Those discussed in this article are some of the more usual methods. If you are interested in learning more about the methods used to calm a house and increase the beneficial energies within, I suggest that you contact a spiritual practitioner in your area that can assist you. There are excellent spiritual healers around the country who have dedicated their lives to assisting others with their own spiritual growth. The Barbara Brennan School of Healing is one such school that offers a list of certified spiritual practitioners who can assist you in your quest for spiritual growth and harmonious living. Additional remedies for spiritual cleansing can be obtained through the book, Spiritual Cleansing- A Handbook of Psychic Protection, by Draja Mickaharic, published by Samuel Weiser, Inc. This small book offers teachings on eliminating psychic drudge from your environment, how to cleanse your own aura, and how to use incense to cleanse the air after arguments.

We can affect the subtle energies around us by us in our living environments. We can actually exert an effect on the energies that surround us. We can quell the negative and welcome energies that are more conducive to an agreeable and more beneficial environment. We can begin to recognize negative energies within our environment through feeling and sensing. We can learn to recognize and welcome beneficial energies into our living environment and sustain these energies with knowledge of spiritual cleansing.
