Your home is an extension of your energy, so making sure it is clear, calm, and free from negative attachments is extremely important.
Clearing your home is done through a house blessing, often facilitated by a professionally trained energy healer. A house blessing ritual is a sacred and honored practice of restoring positive energy into a physical space.
Sometimes, negative energies cling to physical locations. This can be from an experience such as a divorce, arguing, unruly teens or intense negativity, trauma, or in some extreme cases, death. When death occurs, sometimes the spirit refuses to move on. Also, an outside spirit can enter your home. If you have ever felt uneasy or uncomfortable in a physical space, it could be a sign that one of the above-mentioned processes is taking place.
In this post, you will learn everything you need to know about house blessings and restoring harmonious energy in your home. While this post deals solely with house blessings, note that offices, places of employment, and vacant land can also be blessed, not just personal dwellings.
What is a House Blessing?
A house blessing ritual is a ceremony that takes place in one’s home for the purpose of ridding the space of negative unwanted energy or imbalances.
Physical locations such as houses, office spaces, buildings, and even plots of land can hold energy from previous owners or tenants.
In some cases, a physical place can hold onto energy where a death or big trauma occurred. Despite this death or trauma taking place years prior. Energetic imprints can remain, and people who inhabit the place long after the initial event may still feel the aftereffects.
Typically, a house blessing process involves energetic space clearing, intention setting, and prayer.
After a house blessing, the space will feel clear and calm. If there were any prior disturbances, entities, or negative energies in the space, these will all be removed, and harmony can return to the environment.
Who Should Invest in a House Blessing?
Many people just like you can benefit from a house blessing:
- If you feel uncomfortable in your home: If you feel uneasy or can’t fully relax in your home, this may be a sign that there is an energetic imbalance. You could be sensing the presence of unwanted energy or could be picking up on a past experience that still lingers in the space.
- If you are selling your home: Before you leave your house, it’s a good idea to cleanse the space fully. A house blessing is a great idea even if you will not be living in space again. It will make sure that the new owners or tenants can enter a space without any energetic attachments to you or your family.
- If you are moving into a new home: If you have bought a new house or are moving into a rental property, a house blessing is a must-do. There’s no way to ensure that the old owners or tenants would have done a clearing, so to make sure that the space is free of their energy, take the responsibility upon your shoulders to clean the space of their energetic imprints.
- If you are a real estate agent: If you are constantly dealing with properties moving between hands, it’s a great idea to have an energy healer close by who can perform house blessing rituals either in-person or remotely. Do this especially if the land or home is not selling.
How to Bless Your Home
While opting for a DIY approach is fitting for some, it is better to work with a trained professional who will be able to combat any issues, should they occur.
If you do want to follow a DIY route, here are some tips to follow:
- Use Palo Santo wood or sage. Light a candle and say a prayer, then take the sage or wood and burn it. Go into each corner of each room and clear the space using smoke.
- Raise the vibration. In the morning, walk through your space saying good things—positive, light-filled messages.
- Sweep with intention. Open the front door and sweep the ceiling and say, “I release all negative energy from my home now”. Move the energy out the door.
- Declutter. Move out old unwanted or unused items.
If there are lingering spirits or energies in the space, it’s better to work with someone who knows what to do to remove these attachments.
What Happens During a House Blessing
A house blessing is conducted by an energetic practitioner. They can either work in-person by visiting your house directly, or they can work remotely, conducting the clearing without physically being there.
It is suggested, but not necessary that you clean the home before the energy work begins to let go and declutter it and free up some space.
When the healing ceremony starts, the energy healer will either physically walk through the home or remotely move through the property, visiting each room in the house.
They will use various cleansing techniques to clear the space and may use tools such as smudging sticks, rattles, crystals, and prayer.
If they notice an energetic imbalance, they will work to restore the energy to its correct state. Similarly, if they notice a negative attachment or energy, they will send light to the space that it occupies in order to remove it.
Should you choose to work with Shaman Isabella for your home clearing, she will end the house, blessing with a Despacho ceremony.
The Despacho ceremony is a traditional Peruvian blessing ceremony where a prayer bundle is placed in the space that has been cleared. The prayer bundle is composed of sugar, flowers, herbs, and other ingredients.
Here, she will work together with you—either in person or remotely— to say loving prayers and set intentions for you, your family and the space using the Despacho prayer bundle.
Once the ceremony is complete, you feel a sense of calm and peace restored to your home.
Clearing Offices and Plots of Lands
Experienced energy workers will be able to clear any physical building. Offices, large office blocks, factories, skyscrapers, and even vacant plots of land can all harbor energy and need to be cleared.
If you notice that your employees, peers, or contemporaries feel uneasy in their place of work, it may be a sign that you need to work with a professional to clear the energy in the space.
Final Thoughts on House Blessings
Your home is your sanctuary, and you deserve to feel peaceful and calm inside it. If you have any discomfort or suspect there could be energetic interference, skip the DIY smudge sticks and work with a professional energy healer to clear your space.
Isabella is able to work in-person for homes and buildings located in Los Angeles, Orange County, Laguna, and San Diego but generally works remotely and can clear any building or location anywhere in the world.
