What Can I Do to Clear Energy Residue from Problem Neighbors?
Dear Universe,
Now that a problem neighbor is moving out of my apartment building, is there anything I can do to clear any residue? Both in my mind and physical space? And is there anything I can do to bring more peaceful people into the new space? I have been really enjoying the peace and quiet of the last couple months and while I’m not fretting, I think about how it’s possible that might end soon and I’ll have a new person to contend with. — Brandie 6/24/14
Hi Brandie,
Personal space should be sacred space. How we create that is by being aware and grounded, which in turn raises our vibration to attract those frequencies that match our own. While we don’t have control over who comes and goes in our neighborhood, we can be at peace trusting that whomever may come along near to our personal space will only be those who match our peaceful vibration on some level – or whatever that vibration may be. You seem to be clear on that, so you’re off to a very good start.
It’s wonderful your problematic neighbors are finally picking up and going. Now to clear the energy residue and invite good energy into your space. It’s a wonderful idea and easier than you think. I’m going to share a few tips taken from Feng Shui experts as well as energy clearing and absorption which I myself have done. You can try all of them, or just go with what you feel comfortable doing.
The first tip is to use mirrors. In Feng Shui it is said that mirrors reflect energy, so it bounces back and away from you. Place a mirror facing the front door, or window. I have mirrors strategically placed inside of my home. A large mirror faces the main doorway to reflect back any negative energy from the facing street. I have two windows in my bedroom – and 2 mirrors faces each one (one of these windows directly faces my next door neighbor’s home so a medium size mirror faces that window). If you share walls with any neighbors, for instance in apartment or condo complexes, you can take a mirror and hang it facing the wall – cover it up by placing another picture over it or decoration. Very important, place your intention into the mirror, of course it should always be a positive one. For instance, you could say you intend to separate yourself from negative energies and live in peace or something along those line.
The other thing that comes to mind is to create protective boundaries outside. Our side door leading to the outside faces another side street (it’s a corner house) but there is brick wall around that side of the property that grows green shrub over it and trees line the other side which creates protective energy. If you are not able to change the landscaping, maybe use potted plants, tall planters or create a rock garden somewhere near your door or in between you and your neighbor’s door if you have any to your left. Just make sure you don’t block the door with plants because you want good energy to enter. You can also place metal wind chimes and/or mirror balls for protection from neighbors to the right. They’re decorative and provide good protective energy.
Another suggestion to attract better neighbors is to activate the Helpful People trigram of your home. Identify the Helpful People location by standing at your front door facing the inside and locate the corner immediately to your right. Activate the trigram by placing a live plant or metal objects in that corner. When you go to activate it, imagine the perfect neighbors you would like to have. Envision with great detail down to the qualities, the behaviors, the relationship you would like to have with them.
As for clearing residue, any energy that has made it into your home from the problematic neighbors or anyone from off the street, can be cleared by smudging. I do it often, and it cleans the energy so wonderfully. Burn some sage, blow the flames out and go around your home in clockwise order setting the intention that the smoke will clear away the spirits, negative energy in your home, and make sure to open windows and doors when doing this.
You can also place a glass of water next to areas where you think negative energy is getting stuck. Do this at night and in the morning, look at the water. If it has lots of bubbles, that is negative energy that was absorbed. Make sure you toss it back to the earth, but do not water any plants with it, and especially no drinking! I once put a glass in the bedroom at night and when I woke up the next morning it was dirty! You can imagine all the negativity there was in there. Not good, but at least it was cleared. Keep doing it until you wake up to a clear glass of water. Then do it periodically as you sense you may need it.
One last thing, mist salt water around your home to clear the air and the energy in it too. It gives a nice fresh feeling to your home.
There is not much you can do with the actual space the neighbors occupied because you would be invading someone else’s space, but these tips can help with your own personal space and boundaries as well as help you keep it clear from outside energy attacks. Set good, positive intentions always when it comes to attracting your new neighbors.
Blessings Brandie, I am sending out positive vibes for you to have great new neighbors!
