Do you remember a time when you have visited, or even lived in a dwelling where the energy felt heavy or stuck?
Has that continual feeling or sensation lingered in your space (a room, home, vehicle or workplace) to the point it has impacted you mentally or emotionally?
‘Heavy’ energy can magnify feelings of being unmotivated, frustrated, stressed, having clouded thoughts, and even fear or depression.
These ‘heavy’ energies can be unpleasant if you are visiting this type of environment for a brief time, however what if you live in a place where you are emersed in them daily?
What creates heavy energy?
The most common creation of heavy energy is us and our emotions. If we regularly carry or express stress, anger, or frustration into our home, car, or workspace, we end up shedding negative, energetic residue and leaving it in that space. Over time, it builds, and becomes a stressful place to enter and/or reside. This can be can be generated and introduced into the space in question by owner(s) or guests.
Land and old buildings also hold energetic memories and if there is a lot of history in the land or neighbourhood in which you now live, it is possible that you are feeling the energetic ‘memory’ of an historical event.
Lower-level spirits can also be the cause of ‘heavy energy’. These are often troubled souls that have passed from this world yet still linger in a familiar space for them.
How do I know what is creating the heavy energy that I am experiencing?
Basically, I recommend working through the above list. You will feel immediate results when you clear the energy in your space, if it is either yourself or a friend/family member that is generating a stressful environment and residue.
This is because the heavy energy in question will be relatively new and can be shifted faster. Older, stuck energy takes more time to clear.
When historic land and building residue is present, it can take more time to clear as it is more entrenched, however, it is also doable. The cleansing process needs to be regular and vigilant, and over time, the old energy should lighten.
The same is true for clearing spirits that may be present. Older spirits (that have existed in the spiritual world for a long time and are earth bound) are often more difficult to clear, than ‘spiritual wanderers’ that breeze through as visitors.
If you face resistance with any energy clearing, on any level, then it may be wise to contact a professional who works in this field, such as a church minister, priest, or spiritual healer.
Let’s explore some tried and true methods that you can apply in your personal space to rebalance and cleanse energy, making you feel light once more.
Smudging
Smudging is a term that relates to the burning of dry, white sage leaves. The leaves are often bought from a store already bound together and once lit, can be slowly carried through a home from room to room. This generates a heavy smoke that once dissipated, clears the room/space of heavy, stuck energy.
Burning Palo Santo wood, Sandalwood or Frankincense (resin, bark or incense) are powerful alternatives and work equally as well.
Candles
A lit candle provides a purification and instant clearing of heavy energy. The flame provides the purification and light vibration that gently transforms stuck energy in a room.
Sound
Sound and frequency are powerful energy shifters! We often think of music when we think of sound and once of the strongest composers of energy clearing music is Mozart.
Wind chimes and bells are also excellent for shifting stuck energy.
Fragrance
Essential oils are amazing energy clearers if used in diffusers or burners. They are most effective for shifting heavy emotional or mental energy from a room, vehicle, or office.
Crystals
If crystals are your thing, I would recommend (as a combination or by themselves) amethyst, selenite, black tourmaline, rose quartz or clear quartz (that is programmed to clear energy) to name a few.
Himalayan Salt lamps utilise salt crystals as part of their magic of clearing and rebalancing energy in any given area.
Alpine rocks carry a high vibration and are very good at clearing stuck energy.
Flowers/Plants
Flowers and plants in a home or workspace can recycle old energy into new. If you find that the plants are struggling to survive (and you are remembering to water them!), try grouping two or three together in one area so they work in unison to support each other.
Running Water
Gentle moving water such as an indoor water ornament or even an outdoor fountain that is close to the main entrance of your home, are good options to replenish stuck energy.
Opening windows and doors
Recycling the air in your home or vehicle may be all that is required to cleanse your space. Opening windows and doors for a decent amount of time can make a huge difference to the feeling of your home. Old air and energy out, new fresh air in.
Spring cleaning your home
Never underestimate the power of a good spring clean! If our home, vehicle, or workspace is dusty or cluttered, we are inadvertently creating heavy, stuck energy by trapping it and locking it down. A good dusting, washing of dishes, windows, sheets, and clothing, airing out rooms and donating on old items will shift a lot of heavy energy fast! If you are up to repainting that room that hasn’t been resonating with you for some time now, maybe today is the day?
House or property blessings
Property and house blessings lift the vibration of a home in its entirety. This can be administered by an individual, family, or religious/spiritual representative.
Prayer
Prayer is a powerful energy clearer. The more you ask for help through prayer, the stronger your request is heard and manifests into being.
