10 Unusual Ways to Protect Yourself From Negative Energy
It is an inevitable fact that when we are communicating and engaging with other people, we are opening up ourselves to their energy.
Even a gentle nudge on the escalators is enough for you to absorb the energies of the other person. And we never know whether that person has negative or positive energy around them when we come in their area of influence.
So unknowingly we absorb a lot of negative energy and emotions without even realizing it. And if we want to get rid of them, it is very important for us to practice cleansing.
1. Burning smudge
Herbs such as rosemary, mugwort, white sage, cedar, sweetgrass etc have always been used to cleanse negativity from the surroundings.
They can be burned in the form of smudge sticks or a bunch of the stuff with a yarn or cloth wrapped around it.
Make sure you carry the smoke through every corner of your house and your chakras as well.
2. Using orange or lemons peels
This is another quick way to remove negativity using aroma.
