Uncommon Signs of Negative Energy In A House

Let's dive into signs of negative energy in the house. It's not always the spooky ghosts that waves at you from the second floor window when you leave to go the the store. But if you see that, you should probably call in the ghostbusters.

However, but it doesn't always mean it's a ghost. Energy comes in many forms and manifests in many different ways.

The Signs of Negative Energy In A House

Negative energy in the house can show up in your life in different ways like:

  • clutter/ hoarding

  • experiencing cash flow issues/ unexpected financial problems crop up

  • feeling exhausted and frustrated

  • accident prone

  • negative self-destructive thoughts or self-sabotaging actions

  • extreme fear

  • addiction issues, substances, over-eating, gambling, shopping, etc.

  • difficulty coping with everyday activities

  • getting sick frequently and doctor's have no explanation

  • communication issues with your family or fighting between family members

  • uncontrollable anger and mood swings

  • lack of confidence, lack of purpose and feeling hopeless

  • your self-care is at the bottom of the list

  • getting a good night's sleep is rather hard

  • your stuff gets lost in the home and then the item shows up later

  • you have difficulty concentrating

  • unhealthy relationships start to expand beyond your own family and to co-workers and friends

All of these things can be signs of negative energy in the house.

The important thing to do is figure out if the negative energy belongs to the person or people in the house or if the negative energy is related to the house or the contents within the home itself.

Because if it's the home, that you can address that. If it's the people, you need to know that too so that you can help them address that.

Energy is everything. While energy isn't negative, we call it negative energy because of how we perceive and affect it.

With that understanding, with energy healing and the various modalities that you can incorporate into holistic interior design, we see that rerouting these energy fields that form with the surrounding spaces and other non-physical energies were around, they're going to flow through your body at different vibrational rates.

Let's talk about frequency real quick. Your frequency is measured... well, any frequency is measured in how frequently the energy wave comes by and how high the wave is. Our vibrations, they operate at different frequencies. Some are high vibration. Some are low vibrations. I'm sure you've heard that phrase, your vibe attracts your tribe. Everything has its own way of vibrating.

We have multiple frequencies through all the organs of our body. When our cell membranes encounter a vibrational frequency via our little antennae, we entrain with that frequency whether it's good or bad. We just tend to want to be just like them.

Depending on what a person is surrounded by or who it's surrounded by, that will affect the human frequencies. 

Mind: We transmit energy through our thoughts and words. Those thoughts and words create energy and that can be received by someone else and affect their energy.

Body: We transmit energy through our touch and the physical actions that we take. When we touch another person we are sending energy, it may be positive or negative. Also, when we take physical action, the ripples of that energy can affect the environment and people.

And as it relates to mind and body know that people affect physical items, too.

Soul: Our soul resides within the energy system of our body that correlates with the Chakra system. Our spirit energy gets associated with energy centers within our body, whether good or bad. 

This is why it is so important to understand that energy is truly everything. It is within light, sound, music, math, the earth, the elements and the way within energy expresses itself is the key to finding the ultimate state of peace.

Energy is also apart of the Earth, the parcel of land the house is on, the places around the home, the furniture, and the colors in and on the home.

How To Detect Negative Energy In A Home

The best tool you can use to detect negative energy is yourself. Your intuition and your senses will be your best indicator of negative energy.

We naturally can sense fear or that we're someplace we shouldn't be. Use your intuition to walk around the home and see where you sense the negative energy.

There are two other methods, that I can't vouch for, but you may want to try them to see if they confirm your suspicions which involve water and salt in a bottle and another one with a lemon.

As it comes to figuring out if the people are the source of the bad vibes, then you need to find out. You can develop a questionnaire to figure this out and make sure that you ask everyone in the home to participate.

Protecting From Negative Energy In A House

If the home is a source of the negative energy, then you need to deal with that, whether that means that you cleanse a space, change the objects and furniture in the space to redesign the energy flow, whatever the case may be.

You will start with decluttering the space and then move on to addressing the energy of the space. That could mean that you change the flow of energy in the space with Feng Shui or adding crystals or working with color. There are a ton of different ways to address negative energy and even improving just 'meh' energy.

If the home isn't the source of the negative energy but it is the people inside the home then it is possible that some issues are going to be out of your area of expertise so you'll need to ask for help from someone that has the wisdom needed. You'll need to make the judgement call for every client.

There are many ways to help with holistic interior design modalities once you understand the basics.

Some Energy Fixes Are Temporary

Once you address the biggest obstacles to sustaining a high vibe in a home, regular cleansing is always a good idea by either burning sage or using crystals to form a protective grid.

But there are other fixes for energy can be temporary, right?

You may paint a room yellow because it's a person's favorite color is a more permanent type fix. But people change and spaces can change.

People are always ever changing, and you can address issues, and as people can work on their issues things will change. When the intention is set and work is done that shifted the energy you can then reassess again.

It's so important to address the uncommon signs of negative energy in a house because it affects the people in a home and that is why holistic interior design is so important.
