Ever walked into a room and immediately felt uneasy, like something was just off? Or maybe you’ve felt calm and grounded in someone else’s home without knowing why. That’s not a coincidence—it’s energy. Your home has its own energetic blueprint, influenced by everything from past events to the way you arrange your furniture. The good news? You can tune into these hidden energies and shift them to create a space that truly supports you.

Here’s how to uncover your home’s energy and bring it into harmony.


Step 1: Tune Into the Energy of Your Home

Before you can shift the energy, you need to understand what you’re working with. Start by observing how each room makes you feel.

Questions to Ask:

  • Do I feel relaxed or tense in this space?
  • Are there areas I avoid or rarely use?
  • Does the room feel bright and open, or heavy and stagnant?

Pro Tip: Spend five minutes sitting quietly in each room, paying attention to your body’s reactions. Goosebumps? Tight chest? That’s your intuition speaking.


Step 2: Identify Energy Blockages

Certain clues can reveal where the energy in your home might be stuck or negative.

Signs of Blocked Energy:

  • Cluttered spaces: Too much “stuff” can create stagnant energy.
  • Dark corners: Areas with poor lighting often feel heavy.
  • Unused rooms: Spaces that are neglected can trap stale energy.
  • Items with a history: Secondhand furniture or objects might carry residual energy from their previous owners.

Example: I once kept a vintage mirror I found at a thrift store—it was gorgeous but gave me the creeps. After months of weird vibes, I finally donated it, and my bedroom felt instantly lighter.


Step 3: Cleanse Your Space

Once you’ve identified where the energy needs a refresh, it’s time to cleanse. Think of this as an energetic reset button for your home.

Cleansing Methods:

  1. Smudging: Burn sage, palo santo, or incense while walking through your space. Focus on corners and doorways where energy tends to stagnate.
  2. Salt Bowls: Place bowls of Himalayan or sea salt in rooms that feel heavy. Leave them overnight to absorb negative energy, then discard the salt.
  3. Sound Cleansing: Use a singing bowl, chimes, or even clapping to break up dense energy.
  4. Open the Windows: Letting in fresh air is one of the simplest ways to move energy.

Pro Tip: Set an intention while cleansing, like: “I release all negativity and invite peace and harmony into this space.”


Step 4: Bring in Positive Energy

Now that you’ve cleared the space, it’s time to fill it with good vibes.

Tips for Inviting Positive Energy:

  • Crystals: Place selenite or clear quartz in key areas to amplify positive energy.
  • Plants: Add greenery to boost the flow of fresh, vibrant energy. (Pothos and peace lilies are great options!)
  • Essential Oils: Diffuse uplifting scents like lavender, citrus, or eucalyptus.
  • Lighting: Use warm, soft lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Example: I added a small rose quartz to my desk, and now working from home feels a little less chaotic and a lot more loving.


Step 5: Maintain the Energy

Shifting the energy in your home isn’t a one-time thing. Regular maintenance keeps your space aligned with your intentions.

Habits to Keep the Energy Fresh:

  • Declutter Weekly: Even 10 minutes can make a difference.
  • Clean with Intention: As you mop or dust, imagine you’re clearing away not just dirt but also stagnant energy.
  • Rearrange Periodically: Moving furniture or decor around can revitalize the flow of energy.
  • Stay Mindful: Notice how new items or visitors impact your home’s vibe and act accordingly.

FAQs About Home Energies

Can objects really hold energy?

Yes! Items, especially antiques or gifts, can carry the energy of past owners or the emotions tied to their history.

How often should I cleanse my home?

Once a month is a good baseline, but cleanse more often after major life events, arguments, or if the space feels off.

What if I don’t have tools like sage or crystals?

Your intention is the most powerful tool. Even a simple act like opening windows and visualizing light filling the space can shift energy.


Final Thoughts

Your home is more than just a place to sleep and store your things—it’s a reflection of your energy and a sanctuary for your soul. By tuning into its hidden energies and making small shifts, you can create a space that truly supports and uplifts you.
