Energy Side-Effects
by Ronnee Ruselle
There are a whole range of reactions that you can have to energy. How many side-effects you experience and to what degree you experience them depends upon how sensitive you are to energy and also what is happening around you. I will try to cover as many situtations as I can think of and give you a few solutions on how to remove it. This will return harmony to your location.
Of course some of the side effects can be related to physical problems so get them checked out first and try to eliminate the physical and emotional reasons before assuming they're psychic reactions. You'll recognize them as physical reactions to energy especially when they recur in the same situations. For example back aches every time a spirit is present.
Energy cap - This one is interesting and seems to be associated with energy that will trigger the talent to channel. It can be quite uncomfortable.
Shaking inside or feeling buzzy, full of energy, difficulty getting to sleep - this is amplified energy and/or channeling energy.
Butterflies in the stomach - This can be associated with energy channeling through you and it can also signal caution of an upcoming event.
Headaches, back aches, neck aches - this is often associated with negative energy and/or spirits.
Nausea - this is usually associated with negative energy.
Feeling closed in or sort of suffocated but still able to breathe - This is normally a reaction to an excess of energy such as a home with a build up of energy or negative energy.
Uncomfortable with large crowds - People who often assume that they're claustrophobic are often suffering from a sensitivity to energy. In large groups, the energy from everyone can feel like a big stifling wall. It's common for people who have this sensitivity to make their way through shopping centres and such places very quickly. It can also be felt in a familiar location such as your home if there is a large build up of energy.
Emotions - Almost anybody can pick up the emotions from energy that is floating around you. You won't know why, but you'll suddenly feel annoyed and start to get angry, excited, hopeful, sad and even depressed. I've seen energy build ups cause relationship break ups and the people could not understand later on why they used to have so many problems.
Babies and children are particularly sensitive to energy and if you see them start to become argumentative, sensitive, withdrawn or anything outside their normal happy selves with no particular reason for it, do a cleansing.
Should there be abuse or negativity coming from a family member that you can do nothing about, cleansing the house regularly when they are not there, and taking steps to remove negative energy as much as possible will make the home a much nicer place to live in.
Energy Build Up
By removing energy build up in your home, you'll find that you feel much better as if a weight has been lifted and even the other people in your home will feel better too. You'll see behavioral changes in children and family members.
This is because the energy that builds up is primarily negative energy. Positive energy is light and moves freely. Negative energy is heavy and sticky and tends to remain behind. This is particularly the case if you are a person who people relate well to and can share their feelings and their burdens. As they sit and talk, the negative energy is released and replaced with positive feelings.
Also as mentioned above, if a negative person lives in your home, you'll need to perform these things more often as the negative energy will build up in the home more often. Take note of their behaviour afterwards too and see if it makes any difference.
The following is a list of ways to remove this energy and allow your area to be cleansed. Once you do it and feel the difference, maintain it by doing it every 1-3 months. The effort is well and truly worth it and will help to remove and prevent some of the side effects that can be experienced. I am not a person who believes old wives tales and have only mentioned methods here that I and many of my clients have tried with proven success.
Removing negative energy/spirits
The following information has been used by me to help eliminate and remove negative energy and in turn this has helped to remove negative spirits too.
Light - Light burns negative energy and removes it. Turning a light on in the evening has made negative spirits leave for me. My guides told me that burning a candle and imagining the negative energy being sucked into the flame helps to remove negative energy around you. I've tried it and it works really well. Sometimes I light a small candle when I'm working on my pc, especially when online because a lot of negative energy comes from the internet and it helps generally with the negativity coming from the radiation of the pc itself. Keeping curtains open and lots of light shining into your home helps to disintegrate negative energy from your home.
Mirrors or Reflections - These are great for reflecting negativity away from you. I have strategically placed mirrors in my home to reflect negative energy out the windows. When I lived in a haunted home once, I could not stand to have the blinds closed in my bedroom to the point where I would wake from my sleep if my partner closed them during the night. We had a large inbuilt mirrored robe that faced the window so when the curtains were open, they'd reflect energy out the window. The one night it was closed, I had a confrontation with a nasty spirit. Whenever I cover up the windows in any home, I cannot relax or sleep as well and I feel like it's difficult to breathe. These are some of the physical reactions I have to negative energy so as long as you create a smooth path for the energy to flow around and out of your home, you'll be fine. Be careful not to place mirrors so that the path of negativity is flowing directly towards people.
When doing a temporary quick cleanse of our home, my husband and I envision what he calls 'liquid silver' which is a protection or in my case, a wall of energy that appears like mercury or liquid silver and it is just that bit more successful. We also use it in place of a white light protection when dealing with difficult or negative situations and it eases the irritations that are normally involved simply because it bounces the negativity away.
Facing a mirror outwards from your front door or even hanging it on the back of your door with the reflected side facing toward the street, will blast negativity as people come in the door - very handy and helps to lower the number of times that you need to cleanse negativity from your home.
Incense and Oils - Sandalwood oil or incense is very good for keeping a positive and relaxed feeling in your home which helps to remove and fight negativity.
White Sage is my favourite at the moment and burning a stick of white sage incense will immediately show a difference in the energy of your home. It removes negativity very effectively.
I have been told of other incense that is supposed to work, but in all honesty, these are the only ones that have worked for me. I haven't tried all of them though so if you find some that work well for you, please let me know and I'll try them out.
Cleaning - I advise most of my clients that because negative energy sticks so much to everything, physically cleaning the walls etc. of your home and limiting the nick knacks in your home will have the greatest effect in eliminating negative energy build up. People never fail to mention the difference not just in the feel of the home, but the behavior of their family. The energy builds up gradually and can sneak up on you so cleaning the walls, windows etc. down each month or three depending upon how many people or difficult situations you've had in the home will definitely help.
Because Colloidal Silver has been proven to prevent the build up of bacteria, we gave it a try a while back and it was absolutely amazing at removing negativity. We put a little in the cleaning water, we also use some in a spray bottle and spray a fine mist around the home now and then to help eliminate negativity. It's amazing to use in the bedroom by spraying above the bed and bedroom before sleeping at night. We find that our quality of sleep is improved. We urge you to purchase a high quality one and follow its directions if using it medicinally, but using it for these other uses will help you too. I recommend that you go for a very clear one. A colloidal of a milky consistency is not made correctly.
Crystals - Amethyst is a wonderful crystal for helping to remove negativity. It also creates a wonderful feeling of security and well being. I was once told that if you place an amethyst in all four corners of a room, they will create a sort of cross that removes negative energy. I tried it once when removing a spirit from a friend's home that was masquerading as a guide. When the spirit had left the room it was 'staying' in, I put the amethysts in place and for some reason, the spirit could not return to the room. Whether this is because the spirit had negativity around it or because it reflected the spirit itself, I'm not sure. However, I also use large amethyst clusters at the head and foot of my daughter's bed when we have spirits in the house and it allows her to sleep soundly. Other people have reported that it didn’t work so well when they used tumblestones so perhaps the size of the stone matters as to it's strength or effectiveness.
Clear Quartz amplifies the effects of any crystal it is placed with so if you need a stronger effect, put a clear quartz with the amethyst. I sometimes place them strategically around my home when I am expecting visits from negative people and they help to lower the side effects that I normally experience with such visits. Of course they are handy for removing negative energy or 'cleansing' your jewellery and other things as well by placing them on an amethyst cluster.
Our resident talented crystal worker, Donna, says that she was advised by a guide to use turquoise when she was being visited by a menacing spirit who was interfering with her dreams and disrupting her quality of sleep. Keeping the turquoise in her hand or under her pillow stopped it from happening again.
Clear Space - If you are a collector of small pieces that you have lovingly displayed around your home, then you will be more likely to build up energy faster than somebody who only has a few large pieces of furniture. The reason is that you have so many likely places for the energy to attach itself to. If you're happy to clean each piece on a regular basis, this shouldn't be too bad or you could perhaps have mirrors nearby to help, but you'll still have to clean everything regularly.
I have noticed over the years, that soft furnishings will absorb the energy much faster than other household items so if you are sensitive to energy, you may wish to consider purchasing a leather lounge and adding one or two cushions rather than a fabric covered lounge suite. Thick woolen curtaining will also hold negative energy easier than a smoother or rubber-backed curtain.
A home with an open layout where the energy can flow through without blockages in front of windows and doors will have a much nicer feel to it because it allows the energy to keep moving giving it a better chance of being removed of negativity as it moves through the home.
Plants - Not only are plants fabulous for adding oxygen to the air, but they're actually quite sensitive to energy. For some people this explains why they cannot get a plant to grow no matter how much work they put into it. Even so, you'll find that the more plants you have, the nicer the energy in the home.
Recently I had a beautifully potted plant that I'd purchased in a location that it obviously loved. It thrived and was looking green and pert and happy. One day I relocated it only 2 feet from that spot to a corner and within 3 days it nearly died. That was a month or so ago and it still has not recovered to where it was before. When I moved it and analysed what was happening, I realized that the plant was standing beside a power outlet that had been used a lot and there was a computer desk set up beside it. I suspect it was too much or not the right energy for the poor plant.
Because we are closely aligned with nature and because our energy moves and responds to nature, if you bring in parts of nature that you're attuned to or that you favour, it will be a marvelous help with balancing your energy because some parts of nature will be healing for you thereby helping to fight the effects of the negativity. For example, if you like the sea, perhaps a bowl of beach sand and shell can help to ground and refresh you when needed. Gardeners often are refreshed by the soil so they heal while they work. Some people who love water, gain much more from relaxing in a nice mineral bath than most people would.
By rebalancing your home and yourself with the above ideas, your life with be much more harmonious, peaceful and happy.
