Energy Clearing Ways

Moments in the Flow…A Question from an Empathic Reader

Hello again,

I recently posted the article, Are You an Empath? One of my readers identified with this and messaged me to ask if I knew any good ways to clear the energy the empath typically picks up and carries.

My point of view is whether you identify as an empath or not, we are all being affected by world activity and climate events through our connection to the emotional and mental matrix of our area, our country and our planet. Some of the influence may be intentional or caused by the general frequency soup we live in.

I offered the Reader a way that works for me, but there are many. In this post I will describe that way and a few others.

Burning Sage for Clearing the Individual Energy Field

The most familiar way to clear negative or unwanted energy is to use sage leaves, lit in a heat proof container (many use the abalone shell which is easy to hold) and something to direct the smoke after you light the sage. Most will use a sage wand that has feathers and a leather grip.

Say a thank you prayer for the sage and its ability to clear negativity. You may say thank you for how it will clear all unwanted energy from your body and aura field now.

When you light the sage, wait for the flames to disappear and then clear your wand by passing it through the rising smoke a few times. Use it to direct smoke up and over your face and head in a long curving sweep. Some do this three times.

Simple Smudge kit available here.

From here direct it toward your heart and lungs and sweep down the front of your body. Be sure to keep the sage container horizontal and bend slightly to sweep down toward your legs and feet. It isn’t easy to sage your own back so come back to your head and intend the sweep over the top of the head toward the back to take care of this.

You can clear the whole house by going to the corners of each room and directing smoke there. But you may also carefully direct the smoke over the pillow you sleep on and any chair you regularly use. Just make sure your feather strokes are gentle now and that no sparks have been generated that could create a burn or fire.

Clear your wand again, then put the container on a trivet or potholder in a safe location and allow the sage to burn itself out. Then let this cool until no warmth is left.

Remember, sage ash must be released into nature, not a garbage pail.

(Sage wands can be used, but I prefer the loose leaves and method above.)

Meditation

You may have your own ways to meditate, and they can work well if you intend the meditation to remove energy attachments. One I use calls radiant awareness to move throughout your body and into your energy field. Then moving to the Transpersonal Chakra (‘upper room’) visualize a radiant star of White Light. You can use this white light or ask it to send a color light frequency. Many might choose Violet and another powerful transformer is Golden light.

You ask the light to pour down into your body with the thought of opening the soles of your feet, the palms of your hands, and sides of your waist so the light can also flow into all directions of your aura field. Invoke the consuming fire action of light to consume the negative energy and transform it into pure essence.

When that feels complete, release the consuming fires, close the soles of your feet and sides of your waist and open to receive the high frequency essence. (Leave palms open)

Another way to work with this is to call the light down to your solar plexus area and expand this out into a ball of light that includes your aura field. From here you visualize a bonfire of light in front of you and have the fire pull all the negativity into it to be consumed. When that feels complete, release the bonfire and open to receive the essence and the pure light.*

Essential Oils

My favorite way to clear energy with Essential Oils is to create a mister spray containing a blend of protection and clearing essential oils in purified water. The eo’s will not blend into the water unless they are first mixed into an emulsifier, like food grade (not rubbing) alcohol (cheap vodka works). Either way, shake the mister well and aim two or three sprays above your head and slowly turn under the falling mist. You can do this more than once if you feel it is needed.

Some EOs to Choose: Angelica, Lavender, Frankincense, Juniper Berry, Sage, Bay Laurel, Sweet Fennel, Helichrysum and Cedar. Of these, the scent of Helichrysum is powerful and use very little and pair it with something sweeter, like Lavender. It is the plant used in the Catholic Christening ceremony.

Healing Sounds

Some people like to use a crystal bowl or bronze Tibetan healing bowls to create sound frequencies that can heal and clear negative energy. I’ve experienced a major clearing and relaxation when a healing practitioner used the digeridoo up my spine to the skull.

And you can feel a release of tension and uplift of energy by toning the vowel sounds that relate to the Chakras. I will direct you to my post Energy Balance with Sound for full details about this method.

Energy Work like Reiki and Others

I won’t go into this technique here, but if you are trained to the 3^rd Level, you may have the tools you need to use for this purpose.

If you have other ways to clear your energy field, I welcome you to share those in the comments.

See you next time!
