3 Simple Methods to Clear Your Energy
Energy alignment is a critical step in achieving optimal health, joy, and
vitality. Before we jump into the 3 simple methods, let’s first explore the
basics of our energy system and look at reasons why our energy system falls out
of balance. This way, you’ll be able to apply the 3 methods with greater
intention and understanding.
Nothing’s the Matter
“In every culture and every medical tradition before ours, healing was
accomplished by moving energy.” – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel laureate in
Medicine
Quantum physics shows that matter is simply a certain vibratory rate of energy.
You are matter. You are vibrating energy. We know this intuitively. Have you
ever heard someone described as being vibrant? We mean that they are full of
life! Or have you ever met someone and said, “s/he has a great vibe?” Chances
are, you picked up on their healthy, vibrant energy.
You are a complex energy network with a multi-layer energy system moving
prana or chi – the life force – through your body. You have seven major chakras
(energy centers). The energy flowing in and out of these chakras moves through
your body through a series of meridians (energetic pathways). There are twelve
major meridians that correlate to the organs (e.g., lungs, stomach, heart, etc.)
and systems (e.g., immune, circulatory, lymphatic, etc.) in the body. With all
this energy flowing through and around you, it is no surprise you’re like a giant
electromagnet. In fact, it has become widely accepted and proven (check out
Kirlian photography) that the human body has an electromagnetic field – or
biofield – that extends several feet out. This field is known as the “aura.”
So if we’re made up of energy, doesn’t it make sense that healing our energy
can heal our “matter?”

2. The Causes and Effects of Energy Distortions
Your energetic system is like an orchestra with many instruments with different
strings vibrating at different frequencies. These instruments must be in tune
with one another to sound harmonious and will sound discordant if out of tune.
And while the orchestra has many frequencies, the dominant sound will be
lower in pitch if the orchestra has many more cellos than violins. Your
energetic system also has many different vibrations at once, but they all
contribute to your overall vibrational frequency.
So what do blockages, distortions, and lower vibrations through your chakras,
meridians, and your aura have to do with your health, joy, and vitality?
Emotional, mental, and physical ailments arise when you have energy blocks or
distortions anywhere in the complex energy matrix.
Energy healing works on the body’s energy systems to release blocked energy
or repair distortions in chakras, meridians, and the aura. This is what is meant
by “clearing your energy.”
What causes blocked or distorted energy? Here are just a few common
examples:
- Electromagnetic pollution from wireless devices and phones
- Negative or unreleased thoughts or feelings (conscious or subconscious)
- Cultural toxins that promote fear or drama, like the news
- Interaction with individuals who act as “energy vampires”
- Exposure to places with a low or disruptive energy (“bad vibe”)
Any the factors above can affect your natural energy flow and lower your
vibration. For example, repressed emotions require a great deal of energy to
keep them buried. So unresolved feelings or experiences sap your natural
energy flow, creating blockages in your energy system. In turn, this can result
in a weakened immune system and eventually manifest as into other physical
ailments.
When the life force does not flow through you and nourish the spiritual,
emotional, psychological, and physical body, you may feel some of the
following effects:
- Fatigue or lack of vitality and vibrancy for life
- Unbalanced emotions or negative thinking
- Disconnection from yourself, people, or nature
- Panic or anxiety attacks
- Physical illness or shadow pains

3. Chances are, you’ve experienced some of these effects. So how can you help
yourself? What does it mean to clear your energy?
The following are 3 simple methods to clear your energy.
1) SMUDGING WITH SAGE
Burning sage (known as smudging) is a
powerful and effective way to clear unwanted
energy from your aura and your home or place
of business. Smudging brings about peace and
clarity.
I suggest smudging your home regularly to
maintain a healthy energetic environment,
which can affect moods and emotions. It’s
also a good idea to smudge if you’d had a lot of guests. Remember, we all
leave an energetic imprint wherever we go! If you move into a new place,
definitely begin with a good, thorough smudge through ever room, closet,
cabinet, and corner of the home.
Open windows or doors to vent the place and to allow energy a place to go.
Then light the open end of the sage and put it in a bowl. You may need to
relight it often. First, set a positive intention such as, “I seek to create an
atmosphere of white, divine light.” Or, “I intend to clear negative energy or
energy that does not serve my highest self.”
Now, smudge yourself from toes to head by filling your aura with purifying
smoke. Finally, you’re ready to smudge the place. I like to start from floor to
ceiling and also from the lowest floor to top floor of a multi-story building.
Walk through each room and area of the space and allow the smoke to rise.
Include the corners and behind doors! Sweep from bottom to top in a
clockwise motion. Presence or bring to mind your intention and recite it
silently or aloud as you move from room to room. At the end, say some words
of gratitude and imagine white light filling up the space.
You can by different sized of sage bundles (smudge sticks) from any local
metaphysical store or even online. Smudging with sage is a Native American
and Asian tradition that’s used in everyday and ceremonial contexts. Intuitives
often comment on how a person or place “feels more clear and grounded”
after smudging.

4. 2) AURIC BRUSHING
Your aura – the electromagnetic field around your body –
can accumulate lower vibrations (or darker energies). This
can happen due to everyday exposure to electromagnetic
pollution from wireless devices and phones or being in
crowds with people who carry low “vibes.” We can also
affect our own aura by holding onto negative thoughts or
emotions or partaking in unhealthy behaviors. Achiness,
headaches, lethargy, and feeling “heavy” can be some of
the signs that your aura needs some brushing off.
Auric brushing is simple. I suggest a daily auric brushing during a daily shower.
It’s a perfect time to release energy you may have inadvertently collected
while using water to further purify your energetic field. Create an intention
for clearing away energy that does not serve you. Imagine bright white energy
filling and surrounding your body. Now, just as you would brush your hair,
imagine brushing the energy field around your body with your hands. With the
fingers of each hand wide apart, “comb” through the energy field a few inches
away from the body. Use long, continuous strokes beginning 15 inches from the
top of the head and continue brushing down to the toes. Comb front and back.
As you reach the toes, imagine forming all the released energy into a ball and
pushing it away from you. Express gratitude and be present to white light.
That’s it! Auric brushing can also be done with a partner any time of day.
Having a partner makes it easier to reach the back – the other side of the
often-blocked heart chakra.
While it may seem simple and silly, auric brushing is very powerful. The
intention of clearing and the action of brushing loosen and lift embedded
energies that no longer serve you. If you are empathic, you may often take on
other peoples’ emotions. Remember, emotions are energy! So this energy gets
absorbed into your field until you feel like the other person – for no explainable
reason!
3) HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS
Another great method to clear the energy of both
your person and place is to use a Himalayan salt
lamp.
Mined deep underground the Himalayan foothills,
Himalayan salt is known for its rejuvenating
energies. These salts purify the air with the
release of negative ions, creating a neutral ionic
atmosphere… similar to what you feel after a

5. thunderstorm or at the beach.
In homes and business today, we are bombarded by positively charged ions
from our televisions, computers, mobile phones, etc. (“electro-smog). The
electronic devices constantly expose us to frequency vibrations 20 times higher
than our brainwaves. Naturally, this takes a toll on our body’s electromagnetic
field. Himalayan salt lamps act to harmonize the frequencies in the space and
neutralize a buildup of positive ions.
You can find Himalayan salt lamps in metaphysical stores, some health food
stores, and online. Buy one that is hollowed out to allow for a small bulb
inserted at the base. This gently heats the lamp and releases the healing
negative ions into the air. I recommend placing lamps in high-traffic areas of
the home and in bedrooms. Keep a protective layer like a dish underneath the
lamp if you’re placing it on a wood surface. And try to keep it plugged in as
much as possible. In addition to the mysteriously attractive look of Himalayan
salt, it has awesome clearing ability for your home of workspace!
These are just a few simple methods of energy clearing to practice at home.
