energy clearing

One simple clearing practice that will change everything

I recently shared a reel on Instagram sharing one of the most important things I know about energy work.

And I was shook by how many people commented saying they’d never even thought about it like this before.

It’s a simple practice. One that takes just a couple of seconds to incorporate into whatever energy clearing practices you’re already doing.

But it changes everything.

And it absolutely blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about this.

Spirituality has taken an odd turn in recent years. We have moved away from the ancient teachings about love, compassion and peace and ended up in this strange place that is basically just a new age version of the prosperity gospel.

And look, I get it. Most of us get into spirituality because we are looking for something. Love, money, a deeper sense of purpose, just generally feeling better about ourselves in a world that constantly tells us we’re not good enough.

We find manifestation and Law of Attraction teachings that tell us we can have anything we want. We start learning about money and abundance spells. We even start learning how to protect and clear our energy so we can take on less of everyone else’s “stuff”.

And then we learn about boundaries, “energy vampires” (a term I really dislike) and start to distance ourselves from anyone with “bad” energy.

And this is 100% a great place to start. So many of us start here. We’re not in a good place energetically and we want to feel better about ourselves, so we put ourselves first, sometimes even for the first time ever. And self-love and self-care and self-worth are always important!

But if we’re not careful, we end up creating a very ego-centric spiritual view of the world and our place in it.

Call on Archangel Zadkiel to help you clear energy in all directions. Card from the Angels Among Us Oracle.

So then, when we do our energy clearing, we focus on clearing away what’s not ours, negative energy that others have sent to us, negative energy we’ve picked up unknowingly.

We clear our homes of negative energy previous tenants or negative people who’ve popped over have left behind. We clear away the ghosts and ghouls that have come to check out our light.

And somewhere along the way, we forget that we also create negative energy.

We can attract negative energy.

We can send negative energy to others.

And we do. We all do. All the time.

No matter how good we get at being bright lights in the world, there are always moments where we think negative thoughts, think something unkind about someone, speak unkindly about them.

But if you’re living intentionally and consciously you try to notice these moments. You notice how you create negativity within yourself, within the world. And you clear it.

And the more you become aware of these moments of when you are the negative person, the less of those moments you start to have.

When we realise that we can create and send negative energy to others and to ourselves, it’s deeply empowering. We wake up and grow up as spiritual beings.

We stop blaming everyone else for the negativity being sent to us. We stop playing victim while we’re clearing our energy and we start seeing the bigger picture. We take spiritual responsibility for our own energetic “stuff”.

This isn’t about blaming ourselves. It’s not about taking on everything as yours. That’s not where we want to go with this practice. It’s just about taking responsibility for what we’ve created as well as being mindful of what we’re picking up out in the world and what’s being sent to us.

The good news is it’s so easy to clear your energy in both ways!

  1. Just become aware of it and accept you can create and send negative energy too

  2. When you are clearing your energy, ask for it to be cleared both ways, in all directions. Ask that the negative energy you’ve picked up, that’s been sent to you and that you have created is cleared from you and all those it’s affected.

  3. See all negativity being cleared from your energy fields and see all negativity you’ve sent to others being cleared from theirs.

It takes just a few minutes to do every day and you will notice a big shift. Not just in your energy, but in how you move through the world.

The days of “me me me” spirituality have to go. We are all in this together.

And it starts with us realising we are all on the journey. We are all just figuring it out. We all have moments where we have negative thoughts about ourselves and others.

We just have to remember we have the power to clear it and move forward with more love and compassion for others and ourselves.

So, what do you think about this idea? Are you going to try it? Are you already doing it? I’d love to hear from you in the comments about what energy clearing practices work for you!

With love, light and clear energy,

Ten Ways to Clear your Energy

Ten ways to clear your energy by new age hipster x

Knowing how to clear your own energy is everything.

I'm a big believer in the quadruple threat of energy work - grounding, clearing, protecting + connecting.

I'm a massive energy protection geek and if you need a hand with protecting your energy check out my free e-book: How to Stay Shiny.

K, so how can you tell if your energy needs clearing? Well, it's different for everyone, but for me it feels something like:

  • Sluggish
  • Tired
  • Heavy
  • Blah
  • Icky
  • Gunky
  • Like I'm carrying a lot of stuff around that isn't necessarily mine
  • Thinking or worrying a lot
  • Thinking or worrying a lot about other people's stuff!
  • Just generally energetically drained
  • Really hungry!

Of course if you are feeling any of these symptoms for more than a couple of days it could be worth checking in with your doctor.

Clearing your energy can help you shift away any old gunk, negativity and anything that you've picked up along the way that isn't yours. :)

Light

Letting in some light can clear your energy in a jiffy! If you can get under the sun for just a few minutes, brilliant.

If you can't get out for a beach walk, visualising white light (or any colour of your choice, sometimes rainbow is fun!) coming in through your crown chakra and down through your body is a fab way to center and clear your energy and the best part is you can do this anywhere, even on the tube! :D

 

Crystals

Working with clear quartz can help you to clear your energy. Hold one during meditation, wear one during the day or pop one in a glass of water or your bath. 

 

Sound

Playing your fave tunes, ringing bells and even clapping through your aura can shift negative energy!

 

Salt Baths

For a more intensive clearing, throw a handful of salt in the bath (regular kitchen salt will do!) with a few drops of essential oils of your choosing, oh but check they aren't the burning kind!

Angels

I like calling in Archangel Michael and Raphael as a duo to help shift and clear my energy for me. I just literally call their names and ask them to clear my energy. Simples!

 

Smudge

Waft a smudge stick or a stick of Palo Santo or even an incense stick through your aura.

 

Rest

This is such an underrated way to clear energy! Take some down time and let your energy banks refill while you chill.

 

Drink water

Make sure you're drinking enough water! Before you take a sip put your hands over the water and set the intention that this water is to clear your energy.

 

Nature

Getting out in nature is a brilliant way to clear your energy. A beach or a bush walk or even just a stroll in the park can clear out even the most stubborn of gunked up chakras.

Cord Cutting

Cord Cutting is a powerful clearing tool. Cord Cutting involves identifying and energetically cutting cords of negativity that are affecting your energy. You can grab my Cord Cutting kit here. :D
