1)  Take a Bath:
Sea salt is used to neutralize not only the environment but also oneself.  Use  2 cups of unrefined sea salt (you can find it in coarse & fine grades), and mix in fresh herbs (ie: basil, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, sage and cinnamon) to give it a lovely scent (optional).  The main ingredient is the sea salt.
A)  Draw a warm bath.
B)  Next you want to say a short prayer while holding your hands over the water.  You can use any cleansing prayer/psalm/poem of faith, or try this suggested chant: "Salt and water purify, Negative energy where it lies, Cleanse my body tress to toe. As I will now, make it so!"
C)  Then, completely immerse yourself several times.  Make sure your entire body is under water each time.  You may use drops of water from your fingertips on your closed eyes, nostrils etc. if you fear submerging your face.
=> Remember salt may sting on open cuts or abrasions. Perhaps wait until they scar over before trying this.

D)  When completed, drain the bath, but don’t step out yet. Close your eyes, as the water drains. Visualize all the things that are troubling you, and see them leaving your body and draining with the water, until every drop of is gone.  Then you're ready to get out and dry yourself.

 

2)  Smudging with Sage: (preferably white sage) a powerful way to remove negative energy from yourself. You can do this daily, weekly, monthly basis or whenever you feel a need. It can be very helpful in keeping yourself balanced, especially if you work, or are around, people who are suffering poor emotional health on a regular basis.

A)  Place a few leaves in a fire proof container (I like to use a homemade ceramic bowl) or a albacore shell, and light the leaves or light the bundle. The flame should go out and the sage will begin to smoulder.  -OR-  Take a small smudge stick, light the end so it flames, then blow it out after a moment. The stick should begin to smoke.

B)  Fan the smoke with your hand or  a feather. (One week I noticed crows were dropping feathers around me, so I kept them and created a fan using masking tape & glue.)

C)  Say a blessing of protection, or prayer, as you smudging yourself.  Start by fanning the smoke from the top of your head to your feet.

==> Frankincense, Sandalwood, Myrrh and Palo Santo also work to remove negativity.

3)  Use a glass or cereal sized bowl of water with a tablespoon or two of sea salt in it:

A)  Set in a corner of your room, under your bed, or near your desk or working table to capture negative energies.  Basically, place it in any space that you frequently sit, relax, work, and/or sleep in.

B)  Dump and replace each day.  Be sure to dump it outside of your home, in the garden or down a storm drain.  You want to take the negative energy away from your living area.

==>  Dumping to Mother Earth helps change the negative to positive energy.

 

 

​4)  White candles:  They truly work to remove negative energy as long as this is your goal. However, our suggestion is to use this method after another (ie: bath or smudging) to add its power.

A)  Light a candle in the area you frequent most (IE: your bedroom, working or sitting area), and say a prayer of protection, or this suggested chant: "O Great Creator, protect me from all harm, seen and unseen."

B)  Allow the candle to burn for at least one hour.

C)  What I strongly suggest, to promote "love, faith & healing" back into your space, is to light a Pink candle for an hour afterwards.  Add a prayer asking your faith to help in flooding the room with good light energy. IE: "O Great Creator, help fill my soul and space with love and healing, allowing me to breathe again."

==> Add scents to the candles such as lavender, vanilla, lemon and cinnamon. This may be more helpful.

 

 

​5)  Music:  We all have a vibration; therefore, it makes sense that music helps to realign our soul.

A)  Play an instrument, sing, or simply put on your favorite music for at least one hour.

B)  Take this time to think of all that you wish for, rather than what you don’t want in your life. Positives versus negatives. Bring in the goodness, rather than promote the bad.

==>  This may help to re-tune your space and your spirit.

 

​6)  White Light:  Intention plays a large roll in all your methods, therefore, think about "protecting" yourself.

A)  Close your eyes and visualize a bubble of brilliant white light surrounding you from head to toe. If this proves to be difficult, light a candle, look at it for a few moments. Then close your eyes. You should see the flame. Now imagine this surrounding your entire body, starting at your head and anchoring it at your feet.

B)  Imagine this light getting brighter and brighter until it creates a barrier of protection around you.

C)  Depending upon your religious beliefs, you can simply say a prayer or ask for your guides and angels to continue to surround you with the white light to keep you from harm and negative influences.

==>  You can also do this for others, including pets, and even your home when you get good at it.

 

 

7)  Draw a border of salt.

A)  Take sea salt and create a border around your room.

B)  Pull your bed from the wall, be sure to sprinkle along all four walls (not too thick just enough to create a thin line). Don't forget your enterance doorway.

C)  Sprinkle on window shelves and along wall of the inside of your closet. (Pull out your belongings from the floor of your closet. Sprinkle a salt line around the bottom border of the closet.)

D)  Once completed, you may add to any area for a thicker line.

E)  Don't vacuum for at least 2-3 days, then redo. Keep this up until you feel the negative energy has dispelled, but don't allow "it" to tell you when to vacuum. You don't want it to reclaim its power.

==>  Note, if a border is something you cannot do, you may sprinkle salt in the four corners of the room to represent the East, West, North & South.
