If you\u2019ve ever visited a place of worship and smelled incense or heard bells ringing, you\u2019ve experienced energy clearing in action. Nearly every culture has its favored means: drums, rattles, salts, prayers, smoldering resins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe methods and tools have varied from one culture to another, but the intent has been the same \u2014 to create greater harmony and balance,\u201d explains energy practitioner Denise Linn in her book Secrets of Space Clearing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s true for spaces is also true for your body. It\u2019s easy to unconsciously absorb other people\u2019s moods<\/a> or carry around negative imprints from past experiences. Yet there are plenty of ways to clear out other people\u2019s energy and balance your own.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven wind, rain, or sunlight can move energy in our bodies, the same way they move energy in our environment,\u201d notes integrative physician Ann Marie Chiasson, MD, in her book Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self-Care<\/em>. She suggests standing in a strong wind and noticing how you feel afterward. Most likely, you\u2019ll feel refreshed and restored. Free energy\u00a0work!<\/p>\n

In short, you don\u2019t always have to visit a practitioner when you feel off-balance. Start with these DIY strategies to regain your equilibrium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How to Clear Energy<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

MOVE YOUR BODY<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a walk<\/a> around the block is a time-tested way to clear your head \u2014 and your energy. So is lifting weights, doing a set of jumping jacks, or dancing in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cRigorous exercise is a means of moving energy, but even small movements can have a profound impact,\u201d explains Chiasson. If you feel stuck, take a few minutes to move your body. Focus on the goal of shaking it off \u2014 whatever it is.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

FOLLOW A SCRIPT<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of us habitually absorb other people\u2019s moods. Therapist Jane McCampbell Stuart, MA, LMFT, CPCC, sees this as a boundary issue<\/a>. You\u2019re more vulnerable to assuming other people\u2019s energy when you habitually try to occupy less space, she says. But when you fill up your own space (which she describes as an energetic bubble extending several feet around your body), you create a \u201cliving edge\u201d that helps you maintain your clarity. She suggests this script to help you reestablish your edge:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Focus on someone or something, such as a child or pet, that fills your heart with gratitude, appreciation, or uncomplicated loving feelings. This can help settle your heart rate and allow you to ground into your body<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Say your own full name aloud while spreading your arms out as far as you can reach. \u201cI am [first name] [middle name] [last name]. And I take up my space!\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Visualize the edge of your energy field growing stronger and firmer.<\/li>\n
  4. Repeat the \u201cI am\u201d script using your full name, ending with \u201cAnd anything that is not mine needs to leave my space now.\u201d This can be friendly, but make it firm.<\/li>\n
  5. Visualize whatever isn\u2019t yours \u2014 someone else\u2019s mood, a critical remark, unwanted advice \u2014 leaving your sphere.<\/li>\n
  6. Repeat the \u201cI am\u201d script one more time, finishing with \u201cAnd I am sovereign in my own space.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    USE SOUND<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sound is vibration, so it\u2019s ideal for tuning up energy in a space. Although drums, bells, and gongs are the original tools for space clearing, clapping your hands, playing a musical instrument, and singing also work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    What matters is that you feel a connection to the instrument or tool you\u2019re using, Linn notes, and that you make a decision to clear energy before you begin.<\/p>\n

    \u201cEffective space clearing happens only when your heart is open and your intention is clear,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n

    (For more on how sound can create a deep sense of well-being and promote healing, see \u201cThe Healing Power of Sound<\/a>.\u201d)<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    CLEAR SOME CLUTTER<\/span><\/p>\n

    A full-on decluttering session can be a major energy boost<\/a>, especially \u201cif you have been feeling sluggish, uninspired, or overwhelmed,\u201d writes Linn.<\/p>\n

    Yet even tidying your desk or throwing out a pair of threadbare socks can give you a lift if energy clearing is your goal. This can be as simple as taking a shower or lighting a candle, then saying a few words announcing your purpose. In her book, Linn suggests something like \u201cMay Higher Wisdom be with me as I clear this object with\u00a0intention.\u201d<\/p>\n

    She adds: \u201cEven the simplest act will have a positive effect on how you feel if it is done with the intent of transforming the energy in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n
