Trust us, you do want to try these techniques at home. Read on to know…
1. Try airing everything out
The first step to moving negative air out of your home: Open up all the windows and create a draft to let the air come through, even if it’s freezing outside. Fresh air is everything. While you’re at it, shake out your pillows and blankets, too.
2. Carefully burn some incense

3. Be sure to repair or remove broken things
Even though you’ve been meaning to get around to fixing that office chair, it might not be worth holding onto. Broken things bring that stuck and negative energy into your home.
4. Spray orange essential oil around your home
If there’s something about the smell of oranges that reminds you of smiles and sunshine, you’re not alone. Not only does it clear the negative energy, but it uplifts your mood. You can diffuse drops into water or use an organic essential oil spray.
5. Remove clutter as soon as possible
Yes, there’s a reason you feel so good after you clear off your counter. Objects retain lots of energy and physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually block our ‘path’ forward. Oh, and did we mention clutter makes you feel tired and stressed, too?
6. Smudge your entire home with sage
A popular native American technique for removing bad energy is lighting sage, then blowing out the flame. The smoke is what you will use to clear your home. After “smudging” the entire home, visualize your intentions for your home as the smoke filling every crevice.
7. Protect your space with crystals
Sadly, you can’t just pick out your favorite color for this practice. Black Touraline is known to ward off and dissolve negative energy while Rose Quartz replaces negative emotions and feelings with positive ones. Try and keep them close to electronic devices if possible.
8. Ring a bell in your room
It sounds almost too simple, right? Just give [your bell] a ring in each corner of the room and in your doorway. Then, set the intention in your mind for the sound waves to move the bad energy out, and the good energy in.
