Good Vibes Only - On Clearing Energy and the Impact on Buying and Selling your Home

Creepy whispers in the night. Chills running up your spine as you walk into a

room. That feeling of dread when everything seems to be as it should. You stop.

You turn around... but nothing’s there. Or is it?

Sound familiar? We’ve all had spooky experiences. Moments where against our

better judgement we feel afraid, or sad, or unsettled and most of the time we don’t

know why. It’s actually a very common occurrence and an easy one to explain. It

all boils down to energy.

Energy is all around us and is part of every thing in the universe. We can feel

energy even though we can’t see/hear/touch it. If we have an argument or blow

up at our kids, that energy lingers in the room. If someone is ill or even dies in a

house, that energy will remain as well. When we venture out into public we pick

up the energy of those around us and bring it right back home to where we live.

So if you ever feel uneasy or unsettled in your home (or someone else’s) it easy to

understand why - yucky energy.

Have you ever walked into a house and immediately felt relaxed (or maybe the

opposite)? Energy. Have you ever started to feel anxious even though

everything is going well for you? Energy. Have you ever walked into the arms of

someone you love and instantly felt at ease? It’s all energy.

Believe it or not, we are all greatly affected by the energy around us and in our

homes (granted, some of us more than others) and because of this it is important

that we clear the energy around us and only welcome in what makes us feel good.

We can’t completely avoid negativity in our lives, but if we clear ourselves and

our homes on a regular basis it has much less of an impact on us.

There are many different ways to clear your energy. You can use crystals and

affirmations, sounds like singing bowls and bells, essential oil sprays, sage and

cedar smudge, palo santo and so much more. The biggest thing to remember is

that when you are clearing, your intention is paramount. Choose a method that

feels right for you, set your intention to clear out any stagnant, lower vibe, or

negative energy and get to work on clearing your body and every room in your home.

The result is you feeling lighter and calmer. You will recover from illness and

upset easier, and visitors will likely not want to leave! This is a great practice for

keeping your home high vibe for yourself and is especially important if you are

looking to sell. If your home has a good energy, when people walk in they will feel

it. They will want to stay longer, come back, and even buy your home. Every

house we have ever bought (and we move a lot) has been bought on a feeling -

that feeling of being at ease, of being home.

I also suggest keeping energy in mind when you move into a new home. You will

want to make sure that the previous owner’s stuff is all gone - including their

energy. I always clear a house before moving in and making it my home. You

don’t want any negativity (or even any passed loved ones) hanging around once

you move in. It’s a simple thing to do and will start you off on the right energetic

vibe.

Energy is everywhere around us, it changes how we feel and it can affect the

place we live. We can’t get rid of energy (nor would we want to) but what we can

do is make sure that we clear out anything that is not helping us feel our best by

regular clearing techniques and the intention to have only happy energy in our

homes and lives. So the next time you get that sinking feeling in the pit of your

stomach, take a deep breath and relax. It’s only energy and you now know what

to do about it.
