Crystals for "Space Clearing"
Clearing your Sacred Space
Sometimes a house or apartment that you are moving into has everything you want, but just doesn't "feel" right. The previous tenants have left the space charged with some type of negative emotional energy.
To clear the space of this negative energy, I suggest that before you move in and while the space is still empty, you put a bowl of rock salt in the centre of the largest or most central room with a healing crystal on top of the rock salt and a healing crystal in each corner of the room.
The crystal in the bowl can be different from the crystals in the four corners of the room, but the four corner crystals should always be of the same type. You can also put a statement of intention and blessing for your home, in written form, at the bottom of the bowl, under the rock salt. If you have already moved in, it might just take a tad longer for the energies to dissipate.
Rose quartz is one of the most effective crystals for space clearing.
Not only does Rose
quartz clear the space, it also invites in love and peace. It is a good all-purpose
stone for the home, and especially good in the bedroom because of its
association with love. Always trust your intuition and pick pieces that look or
feel "right" to you. They don't have to be large, or perfectly formed
to work.
If the negative energy does not seem to dissipate sufficiently after 24 hours, you can try other crystals.
Types of clearing crystals to try might include:
Amethyst ~ effective if the previous tenant had anxiety or depression.
Smokey quartz ~ especially effective if there were arguments in the room.
 |
Herkimer diamonds ~ another form of quartz, best if the previous tenants had a lot of unspoken tension.
Peridot ~ effective when someone in the household was
critical of other people.
Most importantly do not use any calcite stones, as they are energy amplifiers
and therefore they will amplify, instead of dissipate, the negative energy in
the home.
If the home seems very, very dark, almost to the point of feeling "evil," I
would recommend Zeolite crystals, for inviting in spiritual light to drive out
spiritual darkness. You can combine them with other crystals, such as Rose
Quartz to bring in love, use both at the same time.
Leave the rock salt and crystals in place for at least 24 hours. After that, you
can pick up the rock salt and discard it, removing it completely
from
the home. The crystal that was in the centre, on top of the rock salt, should be
cleansed thoroughly before being used again.
It would be my suggestion that you leave the corner crystals in place to "anchor" the positive energy. Just keep in mind that every so often the corner crystals should be placed in direct sunlight for at least 4 hours to cleanse and re-activate them.
REMEMBER as always to trust your intuition, for another method of clearing you can use colour.
