#5 Ways to Purify Your Space of Negative Energy
Follow joya’s magical every day
What is negative energy?
The energy is all around you. Everything is energy! You are energy, your thoughts are energy, everything you can see is energy. It’s actually pretty amazing when you realize how powerful and amazing energy can be.
On the spiritual side of energy, when we talk about “negative energy” we are referring to energy that is not needed or does not make us feel good. Have you ever walked into a place and immediately felt something was wrong? Have you ever been with someone who was in a bad mood and you immediately felt uncomfortable around them?
In both cases, what you are feeling is negative energy. Negative energy cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can definitely be felt. I would say we are billions of people in our own unique realities. We all have a different perspective on life! You may think it is negative energy, others may think it is positive energy. Always listen to your intuition and pay attention to the cues your body is giving you when you feel the energy disappearing in a space or when you are around certain people.
What causes negative energy?
There are many different things that can cause negative energy to linger in a space, such as:
Negative emotions (sadness, anger, jealousy, frustration, etc.)
argue or fight
来自疾病或疾病的能量
where death occurs
Where violence of any kind occurs
Is all negative energy…negative energy?
When performing a spell or ritual, it is always best to cleanse the space. You should do this whether you feel the presence of negative energy or not, because not all negative energy is actually negative energy…
Some energy is not needed! For example, if you performed a love spell on Monday and decide to perform a money spell in the same area on Tuesday, the energy of the love spell may still be lingering in the space. This can confuse the universe and complicate your wishes.
Why do you need to purify your space?
The benefits of cleansing a space before a spell or ritual are:
Your space will be free of any unwanted energy. This will allow you to communicate your intentions more clearly.
There’s an overall sense of comfort knowing your space doesn’t have any excess energy.
Methods to purify your space
1
Smoke purification method
Smoke purging is an effective way to decontaminate a space (it’s one of my favorite methods). Smoke purification combines the elements of fire and air to purify a space. The smoke will absorb any negative energy and eliminate it immediately.
Commonly used herbs for smoke purification:
Sage – Sage is a powerful purifying herb. It was first used by Native Americans for its powerful purifying properties. There has been much controversy regarding the use of white sage because it is currently being overharvested to meet demand. Other types of sage may also be used, such as blue sage, dessert sage, or garden sage. You can even grow your own, plus sage is a great herb to use in spells or rituals that focus on spiritual clarity, wisdom, and protection. If your spells or rituals require any of these energies, Sage would be a great cleansing tool to add to these types of spells or rituals. Lavender — Lavender is also a great herb to use in purification rituals. It has long been used for its purifying properties and ability to remove negative energy. Lavender is great for spells or rituals that focus on peace, joy, love, dreams, intuition, and stress reduction. If a spell or ritual is performed with these intentions in mind, lavender is a perfect cleansing tool and can be used to increase the energy of the spell or ritual. Rosemary – Rosemary is a great herb to use in cleansing rituals and is easy to find since most people have it in their kitchen cupboards. Rosemary is also excellent in spells and rituals focused on love, protection, healing, or spiritual clarity. If you are calling upon any of these energies, rosemary would be a great herb to use as a cleansing tool to make a spell or ritual more powerful. Cedar – Cedarwood is another magical herb that can be used to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual. The wood and leaves of the cedar tree have been used in purification rituals for thousands of years. Cedar works well in spells or rituals focused on healing, protection, or money. If you want to manifest any of these three things into your life, cedar would be a great choice to increase your intention to put out into the universe. Lemongrass – Lemongrass is a perfect herb to use in a spell or ritual before a cleansing ceremony. It is an herb used for purification and has been used for a long time. Lemongrass is also great for protection, passion, love, positive spells and rituals. If you are performing a spell or ritual with any of these intentions in mind, using lemongrass as your cleansing tool will increase the energy of the spell or ritual
In addition to the 5 herbs above, use mugwort, sandalwood, peppermint, sweetgrass, cinnamon, and eucalyptus as your go-to herbs for cleansing! Peruvian Sacred Wood – Burning wood from the Palo Santo tree (Bursera Graveolens) is also a great way to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual. Palo Santo is the Spanish sacred tree. Palo Santo has been used for thousands of years for its cleansing properties. It’s a sacred tree, extremely powerful! It dates back to the Inca period. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the use of this wood because it is overharvested. It is currently on the endangered list! Just remember to be careful if you use this wood. You may buy fakes (I have). Commonly used incense for smoke purification:
Incense is another great way to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual. You can find incense in the form of sticks, cones, or loose incense. Incense is usually infused with one herb or resin or a mixture of different herbs and resins. We’ve previously discussed some amazing herbs that you can incorporate into your cleansing ritual. They can also be infused with scented candles, cones, or used loose.
Frankincense – Frankincense is a great purifying resin. It is also useful in spells and rituals to aid protection and mental clarity. Myrrh – Myrrh is another magical resin used to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual. This resin is also useful in blessing rituals and enhancing other spells or rituals. Dragon’s Blood – Dragon’s blood resin can also be added to your cleansing ritual. It is also important in spells or rituals focused on protection, banishment, and healing. How to use smoke purifier?
Choose your herb and light it with a lighter or match. When the smoke increases in intensity, extinguish the flame and all that remains is smoke. Then, rotate or swirl the herbs, woody incense counterclockwise (releasing negative energy) or clockwise (bringing in positive energy). Start walking around the space as you smoke cleanse, articulating exactly what you want to get out of it. For example, you can say:
- “With this lavender, I cleanse the space of any negative or useless energy. I bring positivity and happiness to the space.” *
Once the space is decontaminated to your liking, you can place the tools you use to clean in a fire-safe dish, or if you’re using incense, you can place it on an incense stand and let it release its smoke.

crystal cleansing
There are many wonderful crystals you can include in your cleansing ritual to release any negative or unnecessary energy that may be polluting your space.
Transparent Gypsum - is a high vibrational crystal, a powerful crystal used to purify spaces, tools, and even auras. Gypsum is said to be one of the few crystals that does not require purification. It doesn’t dwell on any negativity. Obsidian - is a crystal that is black in color. This crystal removes any negative energy from the space. It is a powerful protective stone and a great stone to use when you need and feel more grounded as it connects to the Muladhara Chakra. Amethyst - is a crystal with a purple color. This is a great cleansing crystal because it removes negative energy from a space and brings calming calming energy. It is connected to our third eye chakra, which also makes it a great crystal to enhance our psychic abilities. It also has great healing and protective properties. Kyanite - is a blue crystal. Similar to translucent gypsum, some say that this crystal does not require purification. This makes it a great cleansing crystal because it is high vibrational energy. Kyanite connects to our throat chakra and is an amazing crystal to use when we can’t speak our truth or feel uncomfortable talking to others. Black Tourmaline - Like obsidian, it is also black. It is also a powerful crystal that can remove any negative energy from our space. It is also connected to our Muladhara chakra and can help with any protection we desire.
How to use:
Crystals can be placed around spell or ritual areas, or you can employ the same technique as smoke cleansing. Taking the crystal in his hand, he began to circle around the space. The counterclockwise direction releases negative energy and the clockwise direction brings positive energy.

water purification method
Water is a great purifying tool. Water has long been used to purify things and people of negative or useless energy. For example, after taking a warm hot bath, I always feel clean and refreshed. When you use water in a cleansing ritual, there are many ways to incorporate it to cleanse your space.
Regular Water – You can use water in its natural form without adding anything. The best water is spring or purified water, but honestly if all you have access to is tap water, that will work just as well. Remember it’s the intention you put into the tools you use that makes the magic manifest. If you’re using water, you can pour it into a bowl, dip your fingers in the water, and sprinkle it around the space and on the tools you’ll be using. You can also add water to a sprayer and spray it on the space and your tools to purify them. Salt Water – You can add salt to the water, which is a powerful combination because the water is very purifying and the salt is great at removing negativity and bringing protection to the space. If you want to use salt water, you can add water to the bowl and add as much salt as you want. Mix the water and salt together with a spoon and wait a few minutes so the energy between the water and salt can combine. You can then use it using the same techniques as regular water. Use your fingers to sprinkle salt water around the space, or add it to a sprayer. Herb Infused Water – You can infuse your water with herbs that are also cleansing or reflect your intentions for the spell or ritual you are performing. There are two ways to use water infused with herbs. You can take a bowl of water and place the herbs directly in the water for a few minutes, or you can place the herbs around the water, as the water absorbs the energy of the herbs without letting them show through. Once the water is infused, you can sprinkle it around the space or add it to a spray bottle. We can thank these plants, put them outside, and return them to nature, giving back to the earth. Crystal Water – You can infuse water with pure crystals or to reflect the intention of a spell or ritual you are performing. You can do your own research on what crystals can or cannot appear in water. Just like water with herbs in it, you can go the same two paths. You can place the crystals directly into water or outside of a bowl for a few minutes, and then you can sprinkle the crystal-infused water into the space around it, or you can add the crystal-infused water to a spray bottle Moon or Sun Water – You can infuse the water with energy from the moon, the sun, or both! When using moon water, you can use any moon cycle you want, but most witches prefer to make moon water during the full moon because that’s when the energy is highest. To make moon/sun water all you have to do is place a bowl of water outside in the moonlight or sunlight for a few hours. You can then sprinkle the water around the space and on your tools, or you can add it to a spray bottle.

visual purification method
Our thoughts are energy and we can use the energy in our thoughts to eliminate the negative energy around us. We are powerful creatures, but we often don’t feel powerful. This results in visual cleansing that is often difficult to achieve without the help of other tools, such as smoke cleansing or through the use of crystals. Cleansing a space is a unique and personal process that is different for everyone. Let your intuition be your guide and cleanse your space with your own magical thoughts.
Follow these steps:
Sit where the spell or ritual will take place and close your eyes. Imagine a white light coming from the sky into your space. Watch the white light spread to every corner of the room. As white light surrounds the space, imagine all excess energy disappearing immediately. Imagine this white light leaving space and returning to the sky, taking away any negative or useless energy. Feel the new energy in the space. Breathe in the fresh energy that surrounds this cleansing area.
5
sound purification method
The sound is powerful and is a great tool for clearing a space before working on a spell. Sound creates waves that travel through the air and enter our ear canals. This causes our eardrums to vibrate and produce the sounds around us. Vibrations produced through sound have the ability to evoke certain emotions in us. There are different sound frequencies that can heal, calm, and make us happy or sad. Using the vibrations created by sound to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual is easy to do, and there are many different ways to do it.
Singing bowl - is a typical bowl made of various metals or crystals. When struck with a mallet, they create sound waves that have a healing effect on our bodies and the world around us. To use a singing bowl to cleanse a space before casting a spell or ritual, you can gently tap the outside of the singing bowl and begin moving in a circular motion around the bowl. The music flowing from the singing bowl slowly gets louder. While the singing bowl is singing, walk around the space and your tool, allowing the vibrations to release any unwanted or negative energy. Bell – Can also be used to clear excess or negative energy from a space. There are many different types of bells you can choose to include in your cleansing ritual. Using a bell to clear a space is similar to a singing bowl. Walk around the area where the spell or ritual will take place as many times as you want until you intuitively feel the energy that the space has been cleared. Applause – is a simple way to cleanse your space. No tools required, you just need your hands. The noise we create when we clap our hands ripples in the air, and if we set the right intentions, these vibrations can clear the space of any negative energy that may be trapped. To clear a space by clapping, all you have to do is clap around the space until you feel like the space has been cleared. Also applaud the tools you will use to purify them. Own Voice – Using your own voice to cleanse a space is powerful! Our own sounds create beautiful vibrations that can manifest what we want. Cleanse a space with your own voice, you can sing or hum. There are some wonderful mantras you can repeat or say out loud. Use your own voice to clear a space and choose how you will use your voice. Can you sing? Can you hum? Can you chant? Whatever it is, start walking around where the spell or ritual will take place, making whatever sounds you want. Listen to your intuition and you clear the space intuitively. When you feel the space is cleared, then it is clean. Power Songs – Using another person’s voice through song or using a song that is just a sound is a great way to cleanse a space before a spell or ritual. There are many songs that are great for clearing a space of any negative or unwanted energy. Clearing space with songs is so easy! All you have to do is play the music in the space where the spell or ritual is taking place and allow the vibrations from the song to carry away any excess or energy that may be stuck in the space.
TIPS
Additional Cleansing Tips
Open a window as you cleanse your space and allow unwanted or negative energy to completely leave your space.
Set intentions as you cleanse your space so that the energy of your cleansing tool knows exactly what it is supposed to do for you. Have confidence in yourself!
Stop second guessing yourself when it comes to clearing your space. If you give it your all, that’s really important. If you perform spell work from a positive and confident mood, this alone will make any negative energy disappear immediately.
One way to cleanse a space is not more powerful than another. They are all equally powerful! You can choose one way to cleanse your space or combine different practices.
I personally like to use smoke and crystals together to cleanse. Remember that there are many magical tools that can be used in a cleansing ritual to cleanse negative space before performing a spell or ritual.
