Energy Makeover: How to Purge Stagnant and Negative Energy from Your Life

In this day and age, everyone has a painful past. Why wouldn't they? Life isn’t easy. But what can you do to clear out the old energy in your life? Why do you need to clear out old energy from your past? Doesn't our past make us stronger? Yes, it does, but things are not that simple.

When faced with challenging circumstances, we tend to function in survival mode. At times, particularly following traumatic events, we find it difficult to break free from this state. Even once the situation is resolved, our existence revolves around mere survival. We lose sight of the fact that our lives should also have quality and purpose. Happiness is essential; otherwise, merely existing and surviving holds little meaning. This is why it's important to release old energy. It aids us in processing our past and helps us move forward.

Ways to Release Past Energy and Progress in Life

Now that you know why you need to clear out old energy, let's discuss how you can do that.

There are numerous methods to remove old energy from your life, and the first is by introducing new energy.

1. Replacing The Old with The New

I know that letting go of your past can be challenging. And you don't have to forget it. However, you should replace the old energy with new. Start by cleansing yourself with a bath. Use organic bath salts, essential oils, and self-love crystals to assist you. Next, purify your home with sage smoke. Purchase something new for yourself and your home. You don't need to spend a lot of money—just buy a new hairband, a T-shirt, anything you'll use regularly. Get something new for your home too, even if it's as simple as a bedsheet. These new items won't change your life's energy, but they will remind you to make a change. Whenever you see or wear your new T-shirt, make a positive change in your life. This change can be as small as writing a few affirmations or thank-you notes for the people you love.

2. Aromatherapy

To remove old energy from your life using aromatherapy, begin with a scented candle. Ensure you purchase it from a reliable source or create one yourself in a DIY manner. Light this candle on your altar, or if you don’t have one, any clean table in your home will do. Visualize the candle's light expanding and filling the room with sacred energy. The fire element can effortlessly transform old, stagnant energy. Invoke this element to aid in transforming the negative energy from your aura and home. Additionally, you can create a DIY spray with eucalyptus, sage, and citrus essential oils to clear out the old energy. *Exercise caution and care whenever you use real candles.

3. Crystals

Crystals such as hematite, obsidian, and tourmaline can assist in removing outdated energy from your life. You can release this energy to the universe for transformation, liberating you from the old, stagnant energy in your life.

Just hold a crystal in your hand and visualize the crystal's light flowing through your chakras, clearing away any negative and old energy from your energy body. Since this change occurs on an energetic level, it will take a while to manifest healing on the physical plane. In the coming days or months, you'll notice that you no longer resonate with things you once loved. Perform this exercise weekly for optimal results.

4. Meditation

Meditation is the most powerful way for releasing old energy from your life.

Take a few deep breaths. As you breathe in, visualize new energy entering your body and transforming your life. Welcome the sunlight as you sense the old energies fading away and the new ones surrounding you. Breathe out and let the old, stagnant energy exit your body. Focus on your heart. Place one hand on your chest and feel your heartbeat. Play some gentle ambient music and continue to feel your heartbeat. This will open your heart chakra, enabling you to make decisions for your highest good, including releasing the old energy that no longer serves you.
