Handling the energy of your home during this stressful lockdown

The energy of our home environment dictates how we feel on a daily basis. Waking up and going to sleep in a well-energised and balanced home is the difference between a good mood and a stressful day. At this time, when we are having to spend so much more time indoors, managing your home’s energy is so important, especially when many of us have had to turn our homes into our work spaces as well. So, how can we maintain a balanced energy in our homes and make this lockdown a little less stressful for ourselves?

Elemental space clearing

Space clearing is an amazing way to declutter the air around you. An ancient ritual trusted by so many around the world, space clearing releases negative energy that has become trapped in the walls, ceilings and furniture of your home, cleansing the space and your mind in the process. This practice can boost your wellbeing, both physically and spiritually, and can bring balance to your emotions. Negativity can become imprinted in your physical space. With so much negativity being produced from the current health crisis, it becomes hard to avoid. Worrying how to make ends meet, pay your utility bills or take care of your physical health can be dealt with by remembering that there are always solutions. Government grants to help you pay your bills, cheaper utilities by switching suppliers, and nutritional and vitamin supplements for if you don’t have time to always eat healthily, are all available to you at any time. As well as this, elemental space clearing can help to distance your home’s general energy from these negative and intrusive forces from the outside.

Declutter

Clutter can clog our minds and fog our clarity. Having tidy, minimalist surroundings can help us to think clearer and be much more relaxed. In a cluttered environment, everything takes longer. You won’t be able to find anything you need, tasks take you longer, and you can’t stick to your routine. Throw away unneeded items, and tidy up all your clutter that you have left out for days. Realistically, decluttering should only take a matter of minutes, but it will help to clear your mind.

Calm colours

We all have colours or patterns that make us anxious and restless. Why not spend a day mixing up your home’s colour palette to help calm your nerves and stabilise your energy? Generally, neutral colours help us to stay relaxed, but a pop of colour can completely transform a room. Darker colours can make a room feel bigger, and lighter colours tend to make it feel much more serene.

Each room has a purpose

Feng shui teaches us that every space is dedicated to a particular aspect of one’s life. This is true for the rooms in your house as well. Dedicating each room to a particular task, activity, or even emotion, can help you to declutter your mind and compartmentalise your thoughts and feelings. Balancing out your home’s energy by room is a great way to balance your home life.

As so many of us are now working from home, dedicating one room or a small part of our home space to our work is a great way to stay motivated and compartmentalise your professional life, distancing it from your personal life. If your whole home environment is taken up by your work, it feels impossible to avoid it, and consequently, you will never be able to escape the stresses you are faced with from 9-5 every day.

Natural light is key

Not being able to leave the house as much has us all missing the natural light of being outdoors and soaking up the sun and the fresh air. If you don’t have a garden, or any other form of outdoor space in your home, then optimising your natural light will help you to feel that you have access to the outdoors, even when you are stuck inside. This is also so important for our mental health. Fixated on screens all day, our eyes need a respite every now and again, and looking out of your window towards nature can help give our eyes and mind the rest they need to stay energised.

Understanding the spirit and energy of your new home

Understanding the spirit and energy of your new home

 

 

Keeping your home’s energy balanced is a manageable, and often enjoyable, task when you are comfortable with your space. But what happens when you move to a new home? It’s no longer about keeping your energy in check, but it instead involves a process of purifying and cleansing to make the space uniquely yours. So, how can you go about this?

‘Green’ up your space

Everything produces energy. From the layout of your home, to your electrical appliances. Introducing plants into your environment will connect you to the nature that surrounds your home, and will also have a positive impact for the planet.

Thinking about the energy that you supply your home with will ultimately impact the energy that they emit. That’s why choosing the right energy supplier for your property is so important. Opting for a green energy plan, for example, will ensure that you are making a positive contribution to the environment through your personal space. This can reassure you that the energy that your appliances emit does not derive from a harmful source, ultimately helping to create a pure and stable energy in your home. Energy suppliers such as Bulb have tariffs that offer 100% green electricity, and aim to carbon offset the gas usage of their customers.

Start with essential oils

The process of cleansing is often associated with ridding a space of toxicities or clutter. While this has its benefits, we shouldn’t underestimate the power of introducing new things. We’re not saying that you should go out and buy unnecessary material items for the sake of it. Instead, consider how new energies can be incorporated into your home. For example, essential oils are an easy way of changing up the energy in your space. You can buy reed diffusers, room sprays, and humidifiers to purify your energy. But, a word of caution: essential oils are very potent and should be used with great care. We recommend purchasing essential oil based products from a certified aromatherapist.

Don’t underestimate the power of sound

Sound is a powerful tool for shifting energy. Experts suggest that the silence left behind after hearing a sound is more poignant. Sound healing isn’t limited to your stereotypical gongs associated with space cleansing, but can be effectively implemented through bells, chimes, and even your own voice.

Crystals have immense healing powers

Introducing crystals to your home is a powerful way to remove negative energy from your personal space. They have protective properties when positioned centrally in your home, and incorporated into the decor of your space. Amethyst is calming, while selenite brings light. There are a host of stones you can choose from to radiate good vibes throughout your new home. Don’t forget to clean your crystals every once in a while, as this will keep their energies balanced and controlled.

Moving into a new home involves a lot more than simply switching contracts and readdressing your mail (although these are clearly very important too!). To fully appreciate your new space, you want to make sure that you make it uniquely your own, which involves removing any stagnant energy and introducing a purer spirit that is more personal to you.

How To Cope With Bereavement

We all have to face losing a loved one at some point of our lives. No matter if the person has been sick for a long time or it’s a sudden death, losing a loved one is extremely hard. You need to know what feelings are normal in such situation so you can address them, accept them and recover quickly.

Coping with your life after the loss could be incredibly difficult. You may experience a mix of emotions, which could be overwhelming at times. Bereavement affects people in different ways and it could be devastating.

There are few stages of bereavement, which you go through in the first few months after the death of your loved one:

Stage 1 – Shock and numbness

This is usually what we feel after the person has died. The first reaction to the death is entering in a surreal daze. You do things automatically – like arranging everything around the funeral, informing family and friends, continuing with your normal family life and work. There is an unconscious protective barrier, which numbs your emotions to a stage where you can do your duties around the funeral without losing the ground under your feet. It may feel like a denial, you may even pretend that nothing has happened, and act as this is something normal that you need to take care of.

Of course some people may feel exactly the opposite and break down completely, not being able to think, act or behave normally. It is important that you ask for extra support and help to overcome the initial shock of losing a loved one if you feel you can’t cope on your own.

Stage 2 – Facing the reality

All the preparation around the funeral keep you busy and occupied so you don’t have much time to think about the new reality. Usually it’s at the funeral when you realise that it’s all over and the person is gone. This is the time when you need to take off your protective armour, be brave to face the reality and take the responsibility to continue your life in the new circumstances. It’s hard to admit it and it’s even harder to accept it. You have no other choice but to put yourself together and adjust your life to the new reality. It doesn’t mean that the person will be forgotten or you will no longer be sad. It only means that you accept the loss with loving gratitude that this person has been part of your life for the past years and you make a commitment to carry the memory of them in your heart for the rest of your live.

Stage 3 – Moving on with your life

In the first few weeks after your loved one has died you may experience a mix of emotions – from sadness and crying, to anger, guilt or depression. You may feel tired and exhausted, not being able to concentrate or becoming forgetful. This is all normal and its part of the grieving process. There will be more and more days when you will feel life is back to normal, but also there will be shaking waves of pain from time to time, which may take you off your feet. It’s important that you allow yourself to experience these emotions in full. Do not supress them or try to avoid them. When you feel you get too sad and think too much about the person who had passed away, just let yourself feel the full intensity of the emotion. This will help your suppressed feelings surface and this is the way to let go of the sadness gradually.

Using an aura spray to overcome the pain is a very good way to change your vibration and overcome the grief easily.

It may take a while before you are able to go back to your normal life without feeling grief or being constantly attached to the past. The bereavement process can take from 4 weeks up to 6 months and you need to remember that there will soon come the time when these feelings will be less intense. Taking one day at a time is the right approach in this situation as well as doing things that will help you overcoming the pain. Acceptance of the new situation takes time, but this is the only way of moving on with your life.

There are number of things you can use to overcome the grieving process with ease:

  • Relying on family and friends – try to surround yourself with friends and family who can support you and cheer you up
  • Express your emotions – allow yourself to talk about the internal pain and what you really feel
  • Exercise – being active increases your energy levels and helps with depression and anxiety
  • Socializing – social contacts helps you feel better
  • Hobbies and interests – find something that you love doing or you have enjoyed doing in the past
  • Time for yourself – allow yourself time to relax and unwind
  • Routine – consistent routine helps you structure your life
  • Healthy eating – food can have a significant impact on your mood, sleep and physical health

Change your life for better by de-cluttering your home

Our dwellings periodically need a thorough freshening–up and dusting down on a purely energetic level. Most homes create a collection of personal energies that unfortunately can become a little more stagnant and leave a sense of things being blocked or stale. Over a course of a year the house can absorb different types of energies and unfortunately some of them may be more negative than others – especially if there were lots of arguments in the house, divorce or serious illness. But even if nothing too serious had happened in your life in the past year, you may still feel stuck and need some fresh new positive energy to come your way. This is particularly valid at the beginning of the year when we are ready for a new start and have our New Year’s resolutions set out for the next 12 months.

How can you make space for your dreams for the next 12 months?

Space clearing is a great way to cleanse the etheric space around you and give yourself a fresh start by creating a positive, healthy and supporting environment for you and your family. Space clearing is an ancient ceremony that involves using feathers, drums, bells and mudras. It is a special ritual that is magical and creates miracles. The first step for preparing for the space clearing is to start de-cluttering your house. Clutter clearing is a very powerful action that shifts the energy instantly. De-cluttering is something that will not only make space for your dreams to come true, but it will also invoke some powerful clarity insights. What is cutter for you? Clutter is something that we don’t use and don’t love. However, there is something bigger behind clutter, which you may not see at first. Clutter is actually FEAR. Fear that we may not have enough in the future.

So clutter is in fact FEAR PLACED OUTSIDE US.

That’s why we should periodically remove clutter and make space for our dreams. De-cluttering and space clearing can really give you a boosting start in manifesting your dreams and achieving your goals for the next 12 months. It always starts with the intention. You need to be clear on what is it that you want. By setting a clear intention you actually state to the universe that you are ready for a change.

There are 3 very important steps that you need to follow in order to manifest your dreams:

1.Set a clear intention
2.Start de-cluttering
3.Take action

Action is what makes it all happen. You can’t move forward in life if you are not taking the necessary steps. So ask yourself what is the next thing you need to do that will bring you towards your goals and ACT on it.
