People associate their own home with a place where they are safe, and nothing threatens their comfort. Your home bestows protection, peace and warmth in your soul. The consecrated house of an Orthodox family is a small prototype of the Church of Christ, therefore there can be no place for evil here. At the very least, this must be strived for.
In order not to forget about reverence, cultivate a Christian worldview and strengthen in prayer, there is a pious tradition to cleanse your own home with the help of a church candle.
How to prepare for cleaning your home
Quarrels and frequent scandals create a depressing atmosphere in the room, which is bad for health. An Orthodox Christian must, first of all, cleanse his own soul from sins and passions, and only after that think about the room in which he lives.
There is a belief among the people in a kind of negative energy that is transmitted from one people to another, through objects, conversations and even thoughts. This is a kind of corruption, evil eye and other devilish slander. To combat such "negative energy" at home, it is often recommended to use church candles, icons, prayers, holy water.
It must be remembered that this practice has always been condemned by our Church. Firstly, the attitude towards damage and evil eyes in Orthodoxy is unambiguous - if a person is churched, goes to church, participates in the Sacraments, then he is under the roof of God and should not be afraid of damage.
Secondly, the use of consecrated church objects and Orthodox shrines is blasphemy, blasphemy and is considered a grave sin. Therefore, cleaning your own home with a church candle should not be seen as a magical ritual to remove damage and negativity, but only as a reverent Christian tradition.
About other superstitions:
In order to protect your home from evil forces, there is a practice of consecrating the house by an Orthodox priest, who must be invited to the church.
Church candles for cleansing the house
How to use church candles for cleansing
Of course, there is no sin in going around your house with a burning church candle with prayer and reverence. Orthodox priests recommend doing this to strengthen the faith. The house in which believers live will always be shrouded in special comfort, warmth and the atmosphere of God's presence.
Having bought a candle in the temple, you can clean your house like this (there is no strict adherence to actions):
- To begin with, you need to sprinkle all the corners with holy water, and also moisten your hands and wash yourself with it.
- The procedure starts from the outside of the front door. The burning flame of a candle must be carried out several times, drawing a cross. The threefold sign of the cross is made over the peephole, doorknob and bell.
- Next, the ritual is repeated from the inside of the door.
- The dwelling itself is cleaned with a church candle from left to right. The walls are circled in undulating movements, and the handles of the interior doors are cruciform. The candle should go near all corners and furniture.
- It is impossible to believe that in the most “polluted” place of the house the flame of a church candle burns more strongly, cracks and smokes with a black tint. Differences in the strength of the fire and how the candle burns is due to the different composition of the wax mixture from which it is made.
- Finally, you need to go back to the front door and light it again. Used candles cannot be thrown into the trash, they are put aside separately. Such remains, along with broken crosses, old icons and other consecrated objects, are best taken to the temple for disposal.
- After completing the ritual, you can begin your usual prayer. In a clean apartment, a person will certainly feel the long-awaited calmness.
About prayer:
About the housing of an Orthodox Christian
A person who lives according to Christian commandments protects himself and his home from all evil slander.
- Do not forget about ordinary hygienic cleaning. It is difficult to combine prayer and dirt. An Orthodox home must be kept clean and tidy.
- It is a great practice not to store and throw away unnecessary items. This should be done not because rubbish accumulates "negative energy", but to fight against fraud. In addition, a cluttered home is simply impossible to keep clean and tidy.
- Prayer chants, church choir recordings, Christian music are an excellent addition to the atmosphere of an Orthodox dwelling.
- Green plants release oxygen and fill the room with coziness.
- Of course, not a single home of an Orthodox family can do without icons and a home iconostasis. This is a place of prayer, solitude with the Lord, spiritual reflection. As a rule, the main iconostasis in the apartment is created by one, and separate favorite and revered icons are hung in each room.
- The home iconostasis is a place for spiritual reflection, repentance, and the search for a path to God. It should always be kept clean, candles and oil lamps can be lit in front of it.
Excessive fear of negativity from the outside, the belief that people can come to our home and bring negative energy, pollute the aura and everything like that - these are pagan relics that have nothing to do with the Orthodox worldview. With the help of a church candle and prayers, a person is able to cleanse the space and restore harmony, which will lead to physical and spiritual recovery.

How to conclude about the need to clean the home
When unexplained events from this list occur in the house, it means that it is necessary to clean up.
- In the rooms, strange sounds are heard, the source of which cannot be determined.
- Objects or things disappear, equipment constantly breaks down.
- Anxious feelings that have appeared for no reason do not leave.
- One feels constant fatigue, lethargy, or simply "crush the walls."
- Children or pets become restless.
- There is no feeling of family hearth and home peace.
- There is a kind of stagnation in life goals, a feeling of financial insolvency.
All of these factors, or just some of them, are a "wake-up call" that says it is time to purify home energy.
Getting rid of negative energy in the house, installing protection in it
There are many options for how to clean your home space. The simplest ones, which have been in use for many years, are:
1. Conducting general cleaning
When cleaning the house, you can easily clear its energy. Before that, you need to tune yourself to cleaning not only surfaces and putting things in order, but also restoring harmony.
What will help with this
- washing curtains and tulle;
- knocking out carpets or vacuuming;
- cleaning floors, windows and balcony frames;
- analysis of cabinets and mezzanines;
- dusting;
- rearrangement of furniture and interior items.
2. Getting rid of unnecessary things
Old, broken and dirty things accumulate negative energy. After getting rid of them or simply cleaning them, you can immediately feel the lightness in the room and the influx of new positive energy that they have blocked.
Accumulating unnecessary things and being afraid to throw them away because “suddenly someday the lid from the cracked sugar bowl will come in handy”, not only home energy stagnates, but also the achievement of goals or their complete absence is stalled.
Important advice! To restore the movement of energy, you can throw away all the things that have not been used for more than two years. At the moment of getting rid of them, it is necessary to clearly formulate all the events or qualities that need to be deleted from life.
3. Cleansing space with sea salt
Regular sea salt, when properly positioned in the home, can restore harmony and circulate good energy throughout the home.
It can be poured into bowls or dissolved in water, placed in different rooms. Each crystal of salt absorbs all the negative that is in the room.
Salt protection at home and energy purification
Ways that are suitable for this:
- Salt poured in small vessels located in the corners of the rooms (it is most effective to put them near a sleeping place or where all household members gather).
- Scattered crystals on the floor before vacuuming (you need to leave them for an hour, during which time the negative will have time to be absorbed).
- Salt water for cleaning floors throughout the house (put 6 spoons on a bucket).
- Cleansing yourself by taking a sea salt bath. Such a procedure will restore strength and relieve you of the negative energy of the past day.
- The use of salt soap during water procedures will help restore balance and reduce the boundaries of the etheric field.
4. Sound cleansing of low vibrations
The main rule of this method is not the choice of the sound source, but its pleasing to the ear perception. Cleaning can be done with a bell or with a chime of the wind.
How to use them
You need to start by walking around each room, while clapping your hands. When approaching the corners, the claps should be made more energetic, directed from the bottom up. If an echo appears from them, this is a good sign, which means correct work and purification of energy. This effect should appear at the end of the treatment at home. After that, you should wash your hands with tap water.
The second step will be the bell. With him, you need to go around the whole house, energetically creating a ringing along the walls. Start the movement strictly from the door, stopping slightly at each corner. During the procedure, the ringing should not be interrupted. After cleansing, the sound should become more intense.
If you have Tibetan bowls, you can clean the rooms with their sound. You can create positive energy by sitting in the center of the cleared space and starting to play on them. You need to finish it if you have a feeling of harmony in the room.
“Wind chime” cleans the house well. It can be placed near the door. If the house is private, then there will be a good effect after placing it in several places, not far from it (more space will be cleared).
5. Creating harmony with plants
Plants and flowers in the house are a source of energy circulation, while saturating the room with oxygen.
Favorable and protective actions are possessed by:
- (its flowers and stems bring harmony to the room, protect it);
- ficus (able to reduce the aggression accumulated in the house);
- Cactus (pulls out all the negative from the environment and neutralizes it);
- primrose (eliminates conflict situations and disputes);
- cyclamen (a plant that protects family relationships, rallies relatives);
- rosemary (helps to relax, has a beneficial effect on sleep);
- aloe (for many years it has been famous for its healing effect);
- begonia (absorbs all negative home energy).
Not all indoor plants have such positive qualities, there are specimens of "vampires" that take not only from the room, but also from the people living in it, all the positive energy and strength. This category includes dried flowers that are affected by pests or are sick. They need to be cured, and if this is not possible, then rid the house of them.
It is not recommended to use the following types for a home flower garden:
- fern (takes a lot of energy);
- tradescantia (is a source of concern);
- monstera (although it has beautiful leaves, it draws energy out of the room and all household members);
- ivy (has the property of driving a man out of the house, in the common people it is referred to as "muzhegon", is contraindicated as a family plant);
- lianas (able to "stifle" the good atmosphere in the apartments).
- orchids, roses (not suitable for all home growers, in the presence of a soft character or a weakened state, they can negatively affect a person's energy).
6. Getting rid of negativity with essential oils, incense
This method for cleaning the house is used not only by the fair sex, but even men have fallen in love with it. With incense sticks or essential oils directly, you can cleanse your living space.
For these purposes, you can use a spray or drip the oily composition onto the stands, placing them around the perimeter of the rooms. The choice can be made based on the description of the components, or according to your preferences.
The following essential oils are suitable for home use:
- Orange. Its smell has a positive effect on the recovery process after an illness, increases optimism, and is an anti-stress. Cleans the aura, attracts finances into the house, minimizes the depletion of the aura at home.
- Melissa. The location of the scent at the entrance to the house has a powerful barrier protecting it from ill-wishers. Strengthens and regulates the energy in the room.
- Lavender. It is considered a scent for meditation, helps to get rid of feelings of envy. Protects the house from negative energy and dark forces.
This is not the whole list of fragrances that can cleanse and protect the home. Everyone can choose an essential oil for specific situations.
7. Candles that purify energy
The flame of a candle contains the powerful energy of fire, which has been used since ancient times to purify the atmosphere of the home.
This process is similar to the transformation of energy using sound (walk the entire apartment clockwise, paying attention to the corners and openings).
Any candle can be used, but those made from wax are considered more effective.
How do you know that the cleansing has taken place? If the flame burns evenly, does not crackle or fumes, then the bypass can be completed. It is better not to extinguish the candle, but to let it burn out on its own.
Ways to protect your home from low vibrations
- Using purple lamps to illuminate rooms.
- Render a powerful energy shield.
- Curtain windows and openings with fine gold mesh.
- Place a Spirit Guardian in the hallway.
8. Creating harmony with the family altar
The family altar in the apartment cleans the room, its energy, helps all household members develop spiritually. It will be equally good, both stationary and portable. The second option is convenient to use for special harmonization rituals.
You can cleanse the house only twice a year. This amount will be quite enough to remove the negative.
You've probably noticed that in some houses there is some kind of painful atmosphere... It's all about negative energy that accumulates due to quarrels, conflicts or envy of those who are in the room.
Negativity can also appear from electromagnetic radiation, aggressive information from the media, and even from our negative thoughts. That's why the apartment needs to be cleaned energetically from time to time with water, fire or air.
If this is not done, then people who stay in this room for a long time failures and illnesses may begin, irritability and loss of strength appear... If a lot of negative energy has accumulated, then things can break and household appliances fail. Flowers wither in such a house, pets try to escape, and guests stop walking. To prevent this, do a spring cleaning every month.
How is the complete cleaning of the house from negative energy carried out?
- After you've vacuumed the apartment, garbage is recommended to be thrown away immediately... And the rag with which you wiped the dust is good to wash.
- With clean water, you need to wash not only the floors in the house, but also the windows., doors and threshold. It is in these places that negative energy most often stagnates. When cleaning floors, you need to move from the far corners to the threshold.
Cleanse yourself first using salt and water. Neatly rub salt all over your body and take a shower, imagining that the water washes away all the bad. Then put on some clean indoor clothing. You should not be wearing any jewelry or cosmetics during cleaning.... And also ask all household members to leave the house for a while.
Then check all the things in the apartment, throw out all the broken and unnecessary... When you rearrange things from place to place, it is believed that this is how you attract positive energy, because it does not tolerate stagnation. Anything that you haven't used in over a year accumulates negative energy.
Open all windows and doors... A draft will help blow negativity out of your home. And positive energy will come with fresh air.
Be sure to wipe all the mirrors in the apartment with a wet rag.... It is better to add a little salt to the water. Recommended in order to remove energy mud, do it in a circular motion. There must be at least 13 circles.
And at the very end, carry out a magical cleaning of the room.... There are several ways of it: a candle, plants, water, salt, conspiracies or magical items.
After that do not forget to wash and wash the things in which you did the cleaning.
How to clean an apartment using magic?

First, they go counterclockwise, burning all the negative, then in the opposite direction to fill the room with positive energy. At the end, place a candle in the middle of the room and let it burn out. During the ritual, you need to say a prayer or simply appeal to higher powers in your own words. For each room in the apartment, you need to take a new candle.

When fumigating, you need to walk around the apartment in the same way as with a candle.

Conclusion
Cleanliness, including energy, in your home is a guarantee of health and good mood for all family members. Do not forget, in addition to routine cleaning, to regularly cleanse the house from negative energy.
Negative room energy can manifest itself in different ways.
At first, it inevitably reflects on mental and physical health tenants. Chronic fatigue; sleep problems; dysfunction of internal organs; constant malaise; depression, phobias, other nervous disorders - all these are examples of how the negative energy background of an apartment can affect human health. Traces of past tenants, unwanted guests from subtle worlds or generic programs can become real factors that haunt the current owners, creating an oppressive atmosphere, depriving people of the opportunity to feel like the masters of their home at the level of the subtle world. Of course, in such conditions it is difficult to "make a cozy nest" and just relax.
Of course, when we talk about health problems, this does not mean that a psychic or a magician should replace a doctor in such situations. In case of any ailment, it is worth first of all to undergo a medical examination and see what can be done on a physical level. But today medicine is not able to give an exhaustive answer to the question of the causes of many diseases. And, unfortunately, not all diseases can be effectively cured yet. Therefore, it makes sense to act not only on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level.
Secondly, your home may define the pace and quality of your life.
In some rooms, time subjectively runs very quickly, it is not enough for anything. In such a house, everything quickly breaks down and goes out of order, relations develop there rapidly, and deep intimacy becomes impossible.
In other houses, on the contrary, at a subtle level, the atmosphere of a “swamp” can be felt, which sucks in tenants, depriving them of their will and active creative thought. The danger of such programs is that they can expand and transform the general background of your life: prevent you from moving towards financial success, do not let you into serious love relationships, push you to self-destructive actions.
We offer you step-by-step instructions on how to cleanse your home of negative energy!
PREPARATION: Room cleaning
No matter how trite it may sound, but first of all, your home must be clean on a physical level. Every corner of the home should be treated kindly with attention. Hard-to-reach places that the mop can only reach during general cleaning; pantries or mezzanines littered with unnecessary rubbish; "Black holes" in the cracks behind cabinets and under sofas, periodically sucking in some objects, are all potentially dangerous zones in which negative energy accumulates.
We know from old legends that brownies punished slovenly housewives in every possible way. In addition to the fact that it will be more pleasant for you to be in a cleanly tidied room, it will be comfortable for both your loved ones and the spirits that protect the hearth.
STEP 1: Removing Negative Traces
The energy field of the dwelling carries a certain charge, which is made up of energy "casts" of the events that took place in the house. Thus, the suffering of its inhabitants, violence, quarrels and resentments remain in space and form a general negative background.
Cleanse the house of negative energy can be done in several ways. The most common and accessible methods for everyone are candle and salt.
Candle cleaning ritual
For this ritual, it is better to purchase a church candle. Light it up and slowly walk around each room in a clockwise direction, reciting a prayer. "Our Father"... Observe the flame closely. If it burns evenly, it means that there is no violation of the energy balance in this place. Where the candle begins to crackle, and the flame dances or dies out, it is worth staying longer - this is a hotbed for the spread of negative energy.
Purification of negative energy with salt
Salt is able to absorb negative energy. Therefore, it is used in various rituals to cleanse the space from the evil eye, damage, curses.
The easiest way is to add a pinch of salt to the container of water that you are going to use for cleaning floors and other surfaces. It is especially important to clean the mirrors with salt water. You can also place cups of coarse salt around the house. Let them stand for three days - during this time the negative energy will be absorbed into the crystals. After that, flush the salt down the toilet, saying "Where the salt is, there is pain."
If, after performing the rituals, you feel that the energy balance in your home is still disturbed, you can seek help from a specialist.
In the old days, before settling, a Christian house was visited by a priest, a Muslim house - a mullah, a pagan house - a sorcerer or a shaman. Today, it is possible to clear space from harmful forces remotely. If the perception of the world that I am talking about in my articles is close to you, then you can contact other experts to conduct a rite of energy cleansing of your home.
STEP 2: Banishing unwanted guests from other worlds
Each house is inhabited by different entities - brownies, guardians, spirits of the dead. But not all neighbors from other worlds are welcome guests. Sometimes you can negotiate with malicious creatures, and sometimes you have to make a lot of efforts to drive them out of your space.
Domestic cat
It has long been known that animals, especially cats, have the ability to see what is inaccessible to the human eye. Cats not only see the other world, but also know how to communicate with extraterrestrial entities, playing the role of an intermediary. A domestic cat will help you peacefully negotiate with the ghosts that have settled in your apartment, and accompany wandering souls to another world.
Fumigation of the house with wormwood
Wormwood, like incense, has long been used to protect the home and cleanse it of bad energy. Pick up a few twigs of wormwood and dry the grass in the sun. To carry out the ceremony, light a twig and go around all the premises of the apartment clockwise. This way you can smoke unclean spirits from your home. In addition, wormwood can be used to protect the home by hanging a small dried bouquet over the front door or placing it in a vase.
STEP 3: Harmonization of the psychological background
It is not surprising that frequent quarrels, omissions and other unpleasant family episodes occurring in the apartment affect its energy. However, in addition to the events of the present, the psychological atmosphere of the dwelling is also influenced by those relationships that developed in this space earlier. For example, a former lover who has already physically left the apartment can still energetically stay in it. This will prevent the hostess from moving to the next stage of life, in which new relationships could arise.
A more serious problem is unhappy energy of kind... If several previous generations of the family lived in the apartment, a mold is formed in it, in which hereditary behavioral patterns, diseases, and unresolved conflicts are laid. Thus, ancestral memory puts you in a situation where you are forced to solve the problems of former residents, instead of building your life.
It is rare when a person can independently deal with such hidden programs. However, you can help improve the overall emotional background.
Release of emotional stress
When you do household chores, use pleasant music or nature sounds in the background instead of the TV. Add elements of the elements to the interior - houseplants, miniature waterfalls, objects made of untreated wood. When you are resting by some reservoir, pick up a few stones that you like. Such stones carry positive energy and harmonize space. At least sometimes use candles instead of lamps. Instead of air fresheners, fill your apartment with essential oil scents by lighting an aroma lamp. Creating an atmosphere of trust and openness Try to be considerate of your household. Avoid unnecessary quarrels and omissions. Eat at the same table at least once a day. This everyday action carries a sacred meaning, unites people and gives them a sense of belonging. Distribute household chores so that each family member can do their part to create a cozy space.
For a deeper study of negatively charged programs that have settled in space, you should contact a specialist. After all, the key to the success of any ceremony is not so much in the form as in the energy and concentrated will of the magician directed in the right direction. Few, unfortunately or fortunately, know how to work with their energy so competently in order to effectively achieve their goals. Therefore, a practicing magician or psychic can better help you in resolving conflicts, restore the flows of love and harmony in your home.
How to cleanse energy at home with salt, holy water and prayers.
Houses are different: in some it is easy to breathe, in others a heavy burden seems to immediately fall on the shoulders, and you want to leave. You've probably noticed this when you first visit your friends. But sometimes it also happens that after a quarrel or an unpleasant visit, it becomes hard within the walls of your own home. What to do in this case?
How to cleanse the energy and aura of the house from negativity, damage, evil eye, evil spirits and all bad things with salt?
Salt symbolizes the element of the earth. A slow, powerful and omnipresent force that turns everything into decay, and, as if the Phoenix bird, gives birth to a new pure life. This means that salt can help cleanse the energy of the house.
Salt and the elements of the Earth are powerful tools for cleaning your home
How to cleanse your home by placing salt in saucers
This is a well-known "magical" method of cleansing the aura at home. The ritual is simple, just place saucers of salt in all corners of the house.
- Salt must be in an open place, not in a closet or behind large furniture.
- The dishes in which the salt is poured should be made of natural materials: ceramics or clay, transparent glass will also work.
- It will not be superfluous to put an additional saucer under the bed.
- Over time, the salt will darken and need to be changed.
This method is considered to be effective, but rather slow. It also has a logical, scientifically proven basis. After all, salt is a powerful natural filter, it is able to absorb moisture from the air and stop the development of bacteria. There are even salt rooms that can help you cope with certain diseases. Therefore, the magic method with salt in saucers is really useful.
Getting rid of negativity with salt in a pan
This method belongs to black magic, and involves not so much getting rid of the negative as returning it to the ill-wisher.
- First you need to buy a new pack of salt, and in no case should you take change from the purchase. Therefore, we give the amount for calculation or leave a trifle.
- Better if it is "worm salt", that is, bought by a man on Thursday.
- We take a frying pan, any will do, including the one in which you cook food. The main thing is that it is well washed.
- Pour into a still cold frying pan about a glass of salt and put it on fire.
- Stir the salt and watch the salt crystals start to jump cheerfully.
- At this moment, we imagine that we are "frying" our offenders. The ritual is recommended to be supplemented with such a conspiracy.
- If the salt has darkened and cracks badly, then the whole ritual must be repeated from the beginning.
- After frying the salt, the pan is thoroughly washed.
- "Spent" salt is poured in a place where people walk on foot, this is an intersection, a path, and sometimes the threshold of the alleged enemy.
- Whether this ritual will help return the negative to the offender is a moot point. But the fact that watching the salt jump in a frying pan is fun - for sure.
How to properly cleanse the energy and aura of the house with a church candle?
Let's make a reservation right away that the Orthodox Church has a negative attitude to the rite of cleaning the house with a candle, as well as to any other magical rite. Believers can light church candles at home during prayer, and thus bring grace into their home, but nothing more. Candle rituals are discouraged and already referred to as magic.

- Start at the outside of the front door. Circle the doorway several times with the lighted candles clockwise.
- Then tackle the doorknob, keyhole, and other hardware if you have one. It is customary to make cross-shaped movements with a candle near these small objects.
- After that, the action is repeated already with the inner side of the door.
The front door is the first energy protection for a home
- Walk around the house with a candle from left to right.
- Make undulating movements on the walls, cruciform movements around switches and other small objects.
- The furniture should also be surrounded by a candle.
- Pay special attention to the corners, it is believed that this is where the most negative energy accumulates.
- After you go around the whole house, go back to the front door, and go around it again with a candle.
- If during the ritual the candle bursts, smokes, melts or goes out, then it is believed that it is in this place that most of the negative is.
- At the end of the ceremony, the candle should burn exactly anywhere in the house, and you should feel relief and satisfaction. This will mean that the task has been successfully completed.
How to cleanse the energy and aura of your home with holy water
Holy water is one of the most commonly used Orthodox attributes for the consecration of dwellings. Moreover, the Orthodox Church itself does not prohibit believers from using holy water to sprinkle their homes on their own.
However, only a clergyman with the appropriate dignity can carry out a full consecration of a dwelling, and an ordinary parishioner should try to consecrate his dwelling and things in it on his own, only if it is impossible to invite a priest for some reason.
The holy water is considered to be brought home from the church on the feast of Epiphany, it is she who is endowed with special beneficial properties. You can learn more about holy water and its uses from. And it is customary to store such water in a place of honor in the "red corner" under the icons. To sprinkle holy water on your own home:

- Before you start sprinkling your home, read a prayer for the blessing of the deed.
- Start sprinkling the room from the "red corner" - the place where the iconostasis is located or at least one icon stands.
- Then sprinkle all walls and corners while reciting prayers.
- You need to move clockwise, and scoop up water with your right hand.
- Avoid stepping on drops of water.
- After sprinkling the dwelling, read the prayer to the Life-giving cross.
Before sprinkling the dwelling with holy water, it is supposed to be cleaned, and all family members should visit the church and receive communion. In addition to holy water, clergymen use church oil in the rite of consecration, with which crosses are applied to the walls, as well as candles. At the same time, a special prayer service is held for the beginning of a good deed.
Consecration of a house is a long-standing Orthodox tradition
What prayers to clean the house with?
