An essential element to living a healthy holistic lifestyle is in creating a home environment that exudes positive energy.
Your home is an extension of you and the life that you lead and the quality of your living space’s energy will be directly reflected in your overall well-being. (source)
The following 3 techniques can be implemented to create a healthier and more positive energetic vibe in your home:
1. Ways To Clear Negative Energy
How many times have you gone somewhere and said this place has a ‘great vibe’?
Wouldn’t you like to say the same for your own home? Your guests will surely notice your hard work to keep the vibe right.
Begin by considering your home’s history of events that have possibly transpired in the space.
Incidents that have occurred while you have been living in your home as well as things that may have happened prior to your residency have a lasting impact on its vibe.
Below you will find effective measures that should be taken to clear and dissipate any left over negative energetic imprints of the past occurences in your home.
If you’ve never done this before you are sure to be amazed by the results and the improvement in the feel of your home’s energy.
Periodic energy clearing of your space should be done on a regular basis.
Important Disclaimer:
As an important side note, we are assuming that you don’t have any unwanted ‘entities’ lingering about.
An entity occurrence is entirely possible for a number of reasons that we won’t go into here.
Suffice it to say that you may want to seek the advice of someone qualified and trained to deal with situations involving entities.
Remember that if you are unsure of your home’s past energetic situation it is a very good idea to get a thorough home spiritual energy assessment.
Sage Smudging
- Smudging is an effective, ancient Native American practice for clearing ‘stuck’ negative energy from living spaces.
- It involves lighting a bundle of herbs, in this case Sage, blowing out the flame and wafting the smoke throughout the area where you would like to clear energy.
- Circle the smoke in a counter-clockwise direction to clear the negative energy and then in a clockwise direction to send out new positive vibes.
Quartz Crystals
- Crystals have the power to emit and change energetic frequency patterns thus clearing unwanted energy in the spaces they occupy.
- A large quartz crystal placed in a room can attract negative energy and emit positive energy almost like an energetic filter keeping the room clear and charged with positive energy.
- Quartz crystals or any crystal in the home for that matter should be placed outside in direct sunlight periodically for a half hour or more to be cleared of the negative energy it accumulates.

2. Detoxify The Harmful Allergens, Bacteria And Chemicals In Your Home
Hidden dangers such as indoor air pollution, bath and shower water toxicity and toxic chemical exposure are just some of the potential health hazards in the home needs to be addressed. (source)
We are seeing a massive shift in recent times to using more chemical-free products in the home yet there is still much that can be done.
The following detoxification measures should be taken within the home in order to keep toxicity at a minimum:
Indoor Air Monitoring and Filtering
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated, unbeknownst to most people, that pollution indoors actually exceeds levels found outdoors.
- Poor ventilation and a host of other reasons are cited as the main sources.
- Technological advancements have been made in home air filtering and purifying to combat this issue that help not only to cleanse the air but monitor it as well.

IQ Air offers technologically advanced, ‘HyperHEPA’ home air purification systems and monitors that are certified to stop airborne pollutants.
Whole Home Water Filtering
- It is possible that you have a filter for the water you drink in your home.
- This is because of the unfortunate fact that the water coming out of our taps is filled with many types of contaminants.
- However, cooking with tap water, hand-washing dishes and bathing is another exposure risk.
- This is because we absorb unwanted contaminants from unfiltered water through our skin.
- Having a high quality water filter system set up that filters water for all taps in the home is ideal for negating this problem.
Aquasana Water Filters
Aquasana offers whole home filtration systems for city, municipal or private well water that remove contaminants from all taps.
Replace Toxic Products
- One negative offshoot of the modern era of industrialization was the invention of hazardous chemicals.
- These synthetic lab produced concoctions were derived usually in an effort to improve a product somehow with little to nothing known about the risk to contact with humans.
- Well that has changed substantially in recent years and the detriment of chemical exposure is being documented in a large degree.
- Cleaning products, laundry detergent, hand soap, toothpaste and antiperspirant should be switched to non-chemical brands or can even be made with natural ingredients on your own.

Sage Smudging Step-By-Step Directions
Smudge Kits
Improve the overall vibe of your space with this ancient tradition known for its psychological, emotional and spiritual benefits. The following steps will guide you on how to easily get started with an effective sage smudging ceremony.
First light the white sage bundle and let the end burn for a bit and then blow it out. The bundle will continue to smoke if lit properly. If it doesn’t, you must go back to step one and relight.
Once you have the bundle smoking nicely, while holding the non-smoking end, draw circles in the air with the smudge stick rotating it in a counter-clockwise motion throughout the space you are cleansing. This counter-clockwise motion helps to clear the energy.
You may also want to speak soothing words or a mantra such as “positive energy dwells freely throughout this space” or play soft meditation music in the background to enhance the effects of the ceremony.
Once you feel confident that the energy has been sufficiently cleared to your liking (this can take several minutes or more) go back through the space, this time making circles in the air with the smudge stick and smoke in a clockwise direction to recharge and uplift the energy that was just cleansed.
You can perform this basic sage cleansing ceremony as often as necessary until the vibe in the space feels clear and uplifted. Its a feel thing so just go by your intuition and gut feeling.
We have an amazing array of Smudging Kits that are perfect to complete the above basic energy cleansing and take the ritual even further for more results and benefits.
