Cleansing Your Energy

Purity of a rose for cleansing your energy.

Cleansing Your Energy

One thing that many people do not think about is cleansing their energy.  Cleansing your energy is as important as smudging your home when you feel negativity lingering around.

When you are out in public, whether it is at your job, in a local store, visiting friends and/or neighbors; it is very easy to also pick up energy that does not feel good.  It can make you feel as if you have something clinging to you, weighing you down and this does not do your spirit any good.  I have found especially being empathic or a sensitive empath, chances of your energy collecting negativity is a lot greater than the average person. 

Signs that are given to  you when your energy is screaming to be cleansed are given in all different ways.  Often you will feel drained and uneasy almost like all of your energy has been taken from you. (Very similar to a Psychic Vampire attack but not as strong).  You will feel as if you lost all interest in everything and you are not motivated to do anything.  Often you will get bad headaches and feel like sleeping a lot.

I wrote an article "Spiritual Protection" which talks about ways to shield yourself from psychic attacks and how to build shields, but cleansing your energy is different.  It is things collecting and/or attaching to your energy-your aura for no apparent reason.  It would be similar to a filter in a clothes dryer and it catching the lint.  Negativity is definitely one of the main things that attaches to your aura.

So how do I take care of cleansing my aura?

For many years I made herbal body care products and I use to make an exclusive line of products just for cleansing your energy.  There are two ways of doing this-either in the shower or soaking in the tub.

The Shower:

Take some sea salt and place it in your wash cloth.  Add some lavender, rosemary and sandalwood essential oils.  Since I work in three's, I would add three drops of each oil.  As you slowly begin to wash yourself, see the negative energies coming off of your skin and going into the bath tub.  As it goes down the drain, see it vanishing leaving your energy fresh and clean.

The Bath Tub:

When I do this in a soak:  I will use both the herbs and the oil.  You can use a muslin bag and add some rosemary, lavender and sandalwood chips.  Place the bag and about three tablespoons of sea salt in your tub, along with three drops of the same oils.  Light a while candle and lay back in the tub seeing everything negative vanishing off of you and going into the tub.  After you have soaked for as long as you want, let the water out of the tub and watch all of the negative energy vanish down the drain.

You can use which ever oils you would like for purification and cleansing your energy.  Here are just a few suggestions that you may like better than the one I gave.  I am also sure you can find many more with just a little research.

Oils:  Anise, Calamus, Chamomile, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, fennel, frankincense, lavender, lemon, lemon verbena, peppermint, pine, rosemary, sandalwood, thyme and vervain.

Herbs (for soaking in tub) Anise, calamus, chamomile, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon verbena, mimosa, peppermint, rosemary, thyme and vervain.

The objective is to wash off all of the negative energies and see them vanish down the drain.

Herbal Tea Recipes

Herb Tea as an Alternative Healing Method

Herbs have been used by Medicine People for centuries in different towns and villages. Many of the townspeople would travel miles to visit the medicine person known in their community for healing.

Apothecary and mid-wifery used herbs all of the time. Women would gather herbs during certain times of the day to and make potions (teas) for magickal uses and healing purposes. There is so much information available for Folk-Lore Myths and remedies that several people could write a squidoo lens and never touch the surface of Herbal Healing.

I learn something new daily about using herbs. For me herbs are very magickal in every sense of the word. But they are so much more than magickal...they are a sacred gift, given to us from the Divine to help heal us. I am a proud tree hugger, if I could hug all of the herbs in the world, I would do that too! I believe in herbs, I trust them, I love them! When I am not familiar with some, I do a lot of research...that is why I mentioned in my disclaimer to ALWAYS research the herbs you are not familiar with.

Natural Cold Remedies

Natural Cold Remedies

Cold and Allergies

have been studying herbal healing for a very long time now. I studied for a while under the Australian Herbal College taking Correspondent courses, I studied with close friends that are herbalist, and I have read a lot of herbal healing books. Am I an expert? No, I am not. Just as with any healing method, things change and more information surfaces every day. Do I believe in herbal remedies? Yes, I do very much.

When it comes to battling the Cold and/or Allergies there are things available to help bring a little relief, so why not get a little relief with herbs the natural way? I have finally taking a little time and wrote up some of my own remedies. Before you read on I have to add my disclaimer and also I wanted to share this you. I was selling my herbal products at an All Nations Pow-wow one time. This man walked up and with a stern voice asked, "How did you come up with these mixtures?" I looked at him and explained, "To be very honest "Spirit" came me the recipes." He half smiled and said, "Good Combinations!" Turns out this gentleman was a medicine man and to this very day, I have something in my medicine bag that he gave to me.

eCrater Herbal Business

eCrater Herbal Business

WhiteOak Art Designs eCrater Business

ust like millions of other people who are trying to utilize the web to promote their on-line business; I wanted to add a few things that have helped me along my way.

I have been on this journey since September 2007. One of the hardest things to do is offer products at reasonable price because shipping is horrible! So the only way to draw attention to your sites is to link it every where you can think of plus more. After a while when your businesss has a good rank in the search engines, you can begin to be a little more picky where you link it.

I have always believed that the Universe is big enough for everyone to have abundance! So it does not matter if there are a million other people selling the same thing as you, it is just a matter of you being found.

I had to learn how to do everything on my own, how to design my web page, how to set up web store fronts, promoting my business, basically everything. I link everywhere I can, I have joined so many groups, that I have lost count. I have listened to other peoples suggestions and made many changes according to those suggestions. But then something very exciting-I found Squidoo and I found eCrater.
