Protect The Energy Of Your Home

You sense someone is watching you. Staring at you. The hair on the back of your neck stand on end. A chill runs down your spine. You turn around to see who it is, but no one is there. You are alone in the room.

If you have ever experienced anything like this, you may have experienced a spirit energy disturbance or paranormal activity, more commonly known as a haunting.

Fortunately, these supernatural experiences are seldom evil or threatening. In most cases, it is due to a simple energy attachment or imprint, also known as a residual haunting. This can happen when we move into an old house, or bring home a piece of antique furniture, and so on. A house blessing ceremony, or energy clearing ritual can usually resolve this kind of problem quite easily.

In rare instances, one may however be dealing with a much more malevolent energy infestation or an intelligent haunting, such as a poltergeist or demonic entity. In these cases, it is usually best to call in expert help from a rescue medium, shaman, paranormal investigator, demonologist, or even an exorcist.

There is however another form of energy contamination that is much more common than residual imprints, spirit attachments, and intelligent hauntings, namely the toxic energy that other living persons can discharge in and around our home.

Our homes are our sanctuary, but sometimes we forget that when we invite certain people into our space, they can leave some creepy energies behind that we would rather not have around us. The worst time to have something like this happen is when our defenses are down and when we are not expecting it. For this reason, one must ensure that you cleanse and protect the energy in your home regularly. This is especially true for psychics, mediums, and empaths, as we tend to be more attractive to unwanted energies.

I was brutally reminded of this fact a few months ago. It all started when I decided to spring clean and rearrange the interior of my home. I temporarily took down all the protective crucifixes in my home. I also removed the framed pictures of my ancestors, as I was in the process of moving my altar and rearranging my sacred space.

As part of my spring cleaning and house rearranging efforts, I had unthinkingly also gathered and removed most of my protective crystals around the house. I planned to cleanse and recharge them under the next full moon, so I temporarily placed them together in a box.

To make matters worse, I became so focused on my revamping project and had gotten so busy and distracted, that I even stopped smudging myself and my home daily for a couple of days.

Yes, I know…what was I even thinking? And then I was naively wondering why I suddenly sensed cold spots and creepy vibes in certain areas of my home?

I always advocate the importance of energy protection to my clients, but this time I made the detrimental mistake of not taking my own advice. I know I am not alone in this. We are all human. We get busy and we forget the importance of protecting our home, space, and our environment. Yet, I should have known better.

The creepy business began when I answered an unwelcome knock on the door, while covered in dust and paint. It was a new neighbor who wanted to ‘borrow a cup of sugar.’ Without thinking, I invited her in. I always try to be cordial and friendly with my neighbors, even those who I notice have negative attachments and toxic energy.

Sometimes, in spite of trying to stay positive in our lives, bad energy can be present in the house. Negative energy can result in ill-health, arguments and quarrels in the family ~ Purnima Goswami Sharma

However, I was so off my game and my defenses so down  on this occasion, that I did not immediately recognize the new neighbor was no doubt an energy vampire.  I eventually sensed something was off with her energy, so I quickly gave her the sugar and made an excuse about being on my way out, to let her know I was busy. She left after only a few minutes.

Well, all it took for the carefully curated energy in my home to become contaminated were those few minutes she stood in the entrance to my home! Soon after she left, I started to feel uneasy, as though someone was watching me. I also felt energetically drained, and the smallest things began to annoy me. I took a moment to contemplate the situation, and then realized that I had carelessly left my home totally unprotected!

I immediately started putting up the crosses in each room, got the crystals out, and put my ancestor alter table back up. Then I did a proper house cleansing, with prayer and lots of sage smudging! The cold spots almost immediately went away, I no longer felt I was being watched, and the energy became calm and reassuring in my home.

I certainly learned my lesson. I should have known to not let a stranger set foot in my home while it was so patently unprotected and energetically neglected. Being nice to energy vampires, while you have been careless with your own spiritual self-care, is just not worth it. Believe me. Your home is your sanctuary. Protect it.
