The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

New to the forum, i'll keep the back story as short as possible!
The room im in has seen alot of emotional storms within the last 10 years. Ive lived in here through my teens and it has bared all my emotional trauma's, including the breakdown of the family and my hateful withdrawal from the world. Ive been shacked up in here for years, polluting the room with negative energy for almost a decade.
Almost 2 years ago the room was fully decorated - Walls stripped, repapered and painted, carpet ripped out replaced with laminate, furniture units thrown out and replaced, even shelf's put up. Cost me an arm and a leg, but it had to be done.
However, im noticing the bad energy creep back in, slowly but surely.
Due the past issues of family breakdown and my withdrawal im currently in counselling - No need to feel sorry for me, things are going great and im really doing well reclaiming my life, however, over the past 2 weeks ive not been able to sleep so well due to feeling a "presence" - I am passive when it comes to ghosts and spirts. Im not convince they do exist, but not convinced they dont.

But now you know the back story, ive come to the conclusion that the bad energy has built up enough to cause a "feeling" of not being quite alone.
Today i went out and bought frankincense and myrrh. My walls are currently painted dark red but tomorrow im painting the main one white - To bring more light and positivity to the room. Though tonight ive completely smoked out my room with Frankincense while experimenting on how im going to burn it - seems simple enough.

So i was wondering, if any of you wonderful people viewing this thread could help me out with a proper cleansing ritual. I'd like to ex-spell any negative energy and also protect this space from any future disturbances.
I guess what im really looking for is something to say while im burning the incense, any advice?

You have a couple of choices:

Frankincense an Myrrh together

Sage

There are others but these are the two mainstays.

The sage is best burnt as a smudge stick
The Frankincense & Myrrh together as the rocks not the stick incense.

The length in days in burning differs from one way of life to another but usually 3-5 days does it....odd numbers are best

Something to say.....well I wouldn't/couldn't put it on here it works in a multiple of different ways....but the burning does the trick.

Maybe a Wiccan can help through messaging you.

Rose Incense. The purity of the smell will brings positive energy. Also, get yourself a good book with spell casting, like the one from Silver Raven Wolf. Good luck.

braid a white sage smudge stick to cleanse the house, and I have to agree with the frankincense...considering you should always cleanse your altar with it, burning some around the home couldnt be a bad thing.

It's not the room that is the problem....the negativity is with in yourself. Instead of trying to 'cleanse' a room of your built up negative energy - spend that time and energy fixing yourself. All the cleansing in the world won't free a space of your troubles unless you first free yourself of them.

Perhaps you need to discover the history of the people who lived there before you. That would help so you could formulate what to use.

I have found that the burning of dragons blood not only cleanses a room, but it also will clense yourself when you inhale it. I have often found that when I do burn it, i find that the negativity within me is gone as well as outside of me.

Reason took the day off...?

Seriously though, you should exhaust all realistic reasons behind the situation before you begin turning to mythology. Many people use such things as a form of self denial or to escape personal responsibility.

i use smudging sticks like sage, seasalt holy water or a magick broom

Patchoulli is great for relaxation

I, for one will NOT condemn anyone for using a spiritual means for cleansing away negative energy. It's their right to do so, and they're certainly not harming anyone

What has been listed here is aiming you in the right direction. BUT, you and the house needs to be cleansed.
Frankincense and myrrh needs to be burned on charcoal in each room.

Yes buildings adopt our energy, good thing you striped it down… wallpaper tends to be the big culprit, it absorbs.
So you have done all you can to the room…. As noted by the monsteryouadore it is you flower.

What is the negativity your feeling?
This will help us help you

First, try to confront your past feelings. Let your self feel those feelings once more, because they are still inside you somewhere. Face them but come to peace with them. Let your self realize that the life you once lived is no longer happening.

When we bottle our feelings up we actually push away a side of our selves we need to accept. The way we feel sad, it's just us telling our selves there is something wrong. This in it's self is not easy because it can be hard to face the truth of your self. Comfort your self and just let it be settled, calming.

It doesn't hurt also to buy some things that will bring you inner peace. Not only do I suggest everyone thing everyone else has recommended, but I also suggest buying an amethyst stone. These stones are common in absorbing negative energy of any kind. Buy a worry stone of amethyst or perhaps just one that will sit in the room by your bed, so that when you sleep it's natural energies of calming will flow into you.

Just remember that these things are only a band-aid. You always must face your self in emotions, even if you don't want to. These tools can only help prevent another out break. It may take some time for this energy to dissipate, beings that it was created over a period of time.

I hope it works out for you.

Use neem leaf-scented incense while ringing a bell. That whoops do the trick.

1 the ridding yourself of negativity a 20 min bath in nutmeg tea 2 the room or house smudge sage but at the same time simmer water nutmeg 5 apples cut in half seeds exposed 3 vanilla bean stalks and 5 cinnamin stix ...simmer for 3 days adding water as nneeded along with 3 white candles burning if youhave questions feel free to message me

Nowadays and even on the net you find Wicca/Witchcraft advice everywhere but prior to the last 30 years, you didn't hear that stuff.

I was never into incense that much so a couple of ways I heard about because I never had to do this, was taking a broom and sweeping your house and ending at a doorway where you essentially sweep out the dirt from your home. You visualize the negativity being swept out of your home. If you have a direction that you believe is right for your beliefs then do it that way. Much of this is mindset.

A personal activity is getting into the shower and letting the water flow over your body and visualize all negativity flowing with the water and down the drain. In each case you can say something depending on your belief system. It is usually better to make up your own words rather than use something rote. Any type of incense you believe will help if you like to burn incense. Back in the 70s I never heard of using sage. Even though basically a Native American thing I was with spiritualists and we didn't do that. We removed things by visualizing them gone and things like that. I'm sure some used incense but I wasn't involved in that because we put shielding in our homes.
