How to Protect Your Home's Energy During The Holidays

The holidays can be as overwhelming and stressful as they are warm and magical. The constant flow of people and the accompanying stress can sometimes cause a stale or even overbearing energy to settle into a home. These bad vibes can often linger long after guests have left, throwing off the energy of a home for some time. Here are a few ways to keep the energy of your home light and soothing with guests coming and going, and how to cleanse residual vibes after the holidays are through. 

Grounding and protecting the home's pre-existing energy:

The single most important thing you can do to preserve and protect the vibe of your home is to place grounding and protecting stones at the entryways, exits, and windowsills of your home. This will draw bad energy in and either recycle and purify it or remove it from the home. The placement of the stones allows for both incoming and outgoing energies to get caught and purified. 

Some good stones for cleansing and purifying are:

• Shungite is a blackish-greyish stone with a very high carbon content. Shungite can also be a metallic silver color, this Shungite is called Elite Shungite and is over 90% carbon. 
• Tourmaline or more specifically Schorl (Black Tourmaline) will take in yucky energy and absorb it. 
• Hematite absorbs negative energy and holds onto it, causing it to occasionally break apart when it has absorbed its capacity for negativity. 

Amplifying positive vibes

The next step to keeping the vibes fresh and uplifting is the amplify purified energy. The way to do this is to place amplifying, energy-conducting stones near the purifying stones so that the freshly recycled energy can be spread around the house. 

Great stones for amplification are:

• Selenite is a gypsum crystal, it's excellent for maximizing the amount of positive energy in a given space. 
• Clear Quartz Specifically in a pointed shape, with the point facing toward the room, sends positive energy that is directed through the point outward. 

Curating the vibes for each room

Different rooms have different ideal energies, you wouldn't want the invigorating and energetic energy of the kitchen in your bedroom while you're trying to sleep. You can have a lot of control over the vibe of the room with the intentional placements of crystals.

• Rose Quartz is an excellent stone for allowing warmth and compassion. It opens up a comfortable and easy conversation. It goes best in gathering areas like living and dining rooms.
• Citrine is great for energizing a space and allowing creativity to flow, it works great in thee kitchen!
• Amethyst is an excellent stone for bedrooms, especially guest bedrooms. Amethyst is soothing, calming and promotes good sleep and dreams.
