Let’s face facts. Avoiding stress, arguments, and bad experiences is inevitable in this world. You can try all you want, but it’s natural to encounter unexpected situations that can affect our wit and wisdom.
So what should we do? Keep holding on to the negative energies and emotions? Oftentimes, what holds us captive or knocks us off track is not necessarily the bad experience itself. It is the residual feelings, energies and emotions we absorb from that experience and carry on for a long time. Just like your physical body needs to be cleaned often to get rid of all the impurities and dead skin cells, your energy body needs cleansing as well. By cleansing your energy body you are able to release all the negative energy you’ve been carrying. This negative energy buildup can be due to hectic routine, physical exertion, boredom, grief, fatigue, and even from things such as, eating an unhealthy diet, having a negative or critical thinking patterns, and poor sleep hygiene.
Negative energy can manifest itself in the form of restlessness, tiredness, anger, exhaustion, or an overall sense of feeling lost on your path. Without a doubt, we want to bring joy back into our lives, and no, reclaiming your positive energy won’t require you to move to a remote location, resign from your job or give up your practical life. You can easily introduce simple and fun activities in your life to ward off the negative energy attached to you and your surroundings.
The following is a short list of things to try out on your own. All you will need are two crystals, one to deflect and remove negative energy already clustered in your space, the other to uplift your energy level and give you a sense of serenity and power.
1. For removing Negative Energy: Black Obsidian
For the lovers of black, this is for you. Healers and shamans swore on this crystal due to its ability to release unhealthy emotions, its help in cutting ties with toxic attachments and its capacity for absorbing negative energy. Black Obsidian is associated with purification, transition (from the negative self to the positive self) and physical vitality. It furnishes you with a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a more objective, clear view of reality. Black Obsidian also protects against environmental pollutants, electromagnetic smog, and the radiation released by electronic equipment like laptops and mobile phones.
How to Use it
Wear it as a piece of jewelry (such as a ring, bracelet, or necklace) to ensure that you are under its charm 24/7.
To clear the negative energy of your home, place this black beauty at your home entrance or your bedroom side table. You can also chant affirmation to boost its benefits. Such as the following:
“I request that the greatest vibrations of love and light connect with my highest self to eliminate any undesirable energy and past conditioning. I tell this stone to focus on absorbing, cleansing, and eliminating any unwanted energy in this space. Thank you.”
2. To Welcome positive energy and keep your Spirit High: Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is associated with one of the greatest feelings a person can ever experience: LOVE. Rose quartz replenishes you with all types of love: self-love, love for others, and love for your surroundings, and love for this beautiful earth we all live on. This love stone is an excellent magnet of positive energy and opportunities. It instills deep inner healing and feelings of peace.
How to Use it?
Its pale pink coloring, translucent transparency and vitreous sheen can add beauty to your jewelry. Wear it as a necklace over your heart chakra to get optimal benefits.
In conclusion, crystals can help absorb the negative energy from our surroundings before it can reach us. Just like you empty your vacuum cleaner so it can keep doing its job, crystals must be cleared at least once a month to keep infusing your spirit with joy and shield you from unwanted energy.
Recharge your crystal by placing them under a full moon for the night. You can also place your crystal for 24 hours outside, so it gets both direct (Sun) and indirect (moon) starlight.
