Elysian Ease: DIY Energy Clearing Renewal for the Modern Soul
8 Beginner DIY Tips for
Removing Negativity from Your Energy Field
Inner peace can sometimes be difficult to find given the pressures of daily life. Peace can be defined as a being abiding in their natural state or without disturbance. Peace is not just the absence of negativity but also the presence of positive vibes like justice, equality, and well-being. We can accumulate negative energy. This disturbs our sense of peace and makes us feel like there is a weight on our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Clearing your energy and the energy of your space is a way to help with your inner peace. Removing negativity is essential for living a balanced and happy life. In this article I will teach you about 8 super easy ways to renew your energy by clearing out negativity. I have also included the scientific basis for why these techniques are effective.
Here are eight beginner-friendly tips to help you cleanse your energy field and restore your inner peace.
1. Aura Cleansing with Water
Water is a powerful cleansing agent, not just for your body but also for your energy field. Next time you step into the shower, turn it into a renewal ritual for clearing negativity. As the water flows over you, visualize it washing away any negative energy lingering in your aura. Imagine all of your stress, doubts, unwanted feelings and energy all go swirling down the drain. Allow the water to rejuvenate your spirit and bring you into a state of clarity and peace.

Try using an affirmation to ground your renewal ritual.
“I cleanse my body and energy of all negativity.”
“Water washes away all negativity. I am cleansed, I am clear, I am renewed.”
“As the water washes over me, I release all that no longer serves. I am cleansed, purified, and renewed. I embrace this moment of clarity, welcoming peace and positivity into my life. I am refreshed and renewed.”
✦✦✦✦✦✦
You can also add this practice to your bath by using Epsom salts or essential oils. The salt helps draw out toxins and negative energy, while lavender or other soothing scents enhance the feeling of renewal. Make this a regular part of your self-care routine, and you’ll notice how refreshed and light you feel afterward. This is a good practice before bedtime as it will likely make you feel tired due to the amount of energy you are moving.
Scientific Basis: Water has been known to have calming effects due to its sound and flow, which can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress. From a traditional perspective, many cultures, from ancient Egyptians to Native Americans, used water for purification, believing it could cleanse not just the body but the spirit.
2. Affirmations for Positive Energy
Affirmations are a simple powerful way to shift your energy and mindset. By repeating positive statements, you replace the negative thoughts that may be clouding your aura. Words carry energy, and speaking them with intention creates a powerful ripple effect that can shift your entire being. Words create!
To get the most out of affirmations, say them out loud or write them down. Be fully present with your words, while also believing that they are already true. Over time, affirmations can help you reprogram your subconscious mind. This creates a more positive energy and calms your natural state. Create your own affirmation that align best with your authentic self and intentions.

"I release all negativity from my energy field”
"I am surrounded by light and positive energy"
✦✦✦✦✦✦
Write your own affirmation that resonates with your spirit.
Scientific Basis: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles suggest that changing your self-talk can alter neural pathways which results in reducing negative thought patterns. Traditionally, mantras in Hinduism and Buddhism serve a similar purpose, where repeating sacred syllables or phrases resonate with spiritual vibrations.

3. Breathwork for Cleansing
Breathing is something we often take for granted, but mindful breathwork can do wonders for clearing negative energy. A simple effective technique is the "4-7-8" method: inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7, and exhale for 8. This controlled breathing helps you release stress, slow down your mind, and refresh your energy field. As you breathe, imagine inhaling pure, healing energy and exhaling any negativity or emotional clutter.
Breathwork is a quick and easy practice that you can do anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re feeling anxious before a meeting or weighed down after a long day, taking a few moments to focus on your breath will help you feel centered and energized.
Scientific Basis: Controlled breathing can increase oxygenation in the body, which helps to reduce anxiety and enhance your cognitive function. Traditional practices like Pranayama in yoga are designed to control the prana or life force, believed to cleanse the body's energy channels or nadis.
4. Journaling to Release
Writing can be a healing way to release negative energy. Get a journal to write down any thoughts, emotions, or experiences that feel heavy, or draining. You can use traditional journaling techniques or create a visual journal. Don’t worry about making it perfect—just let your feelings out onto the paper. Another alternative is to write it out to get it out on any piece of paper. After you’ve written everything out, you can tear up the paper or safely burn it as a symbolic act of letting go. This renewal practice helps you externalize negativity and clear it from your energy field.
Journaling allows you to get out of your head and into a state of release. It gives you the space to reflect, process, and let go, ultimately creating room for more positivity in your life.
Scientific Basis: Expressive writing can improve emotional intelligence and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by externalizing thoughts. Historically, keeping diaries or journals has been a way for individuals to reflect on life's events, which helps in processing emotions.
5. Smudging with Sage or Palo Santo
Smudging is an ancient practice used to clear spaces and auras of stagnant or negative energy. Sage and Palo Santo are two of the most popular tools for this. To perform a smudging, light the sage or palo santo and let it burn for a moment and extinguish to just smoke. Move the smoke around your body, focusing on any areas that feel heavy or blocked. As the smoke rises, visualize it carrying away any negativity, leaving you feeling lighter and more at peace.
This practice is a great way to reset your energy field, especially after stressful situations. It’s also useful when you feel overwhelmed or out of balance, providing an instant energy shift that leaves you feeling cleansed and centered. Follow up with burning an incense or diffusing essential oil to bring in a higher vibration.
Scientific Basis: Burning sage (Salvia apiana) releases negative ions, which can neutralize positive ions produced by electronic devices and pollutants, potentially improving mood. Traditionally, Native Americans used smudging to cleanse people and spaces of negative energies.
6. Salt Bath for Detoxification
Taking a salt bath is one of the easiest and most effective ways to cleanse your energy. Epsom or sea salts are known for their detoxifying properties and can help draw out negative energy. Simply add a cup of epsom salt to your bathwater. For an extra calming effect, mix in a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil inot the bath water. As you soak, imagine the salt water pulling away all negativity and tension from your body.
This practice not only cleanses your energy field but also soothes your physical body, leaving you feeling refreshed and grounded. Make it a part of your regular routine, especially after emotionally draining days, and notice how much lighter and more peaceful you feel. I like to do take a salt bath before bedtime. I found that it drains so much energy that I fall asleep quickly.
Scientific Basis: While the concept of "detoxification" through salt baths isn't supported by conventional medical science as a means to remove toxins (as the body's organs like kidneys and liver are very good at this), the practice can be beneficial in other ways. Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in baths can increase magnesium levels in the body, which might help in muscle relaxation and reducing stress due to magnesium's role in muscle function and the nervous system.
7. Visualization and White Light Meditation
Visualization is a really easy technique for re-aligning your energy field. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. White light, is very strong and pure, it will override any negativity. Picture a glowing, white light surrounding you, cleansing every part of your energy field. Visualize the light dissolving any negativity, tension, or emotional blocks. As you continue to breathe, imagine this light filling you with peace, positivity, and protection.
This meditation is especially helpful when you feel drained or vulnerable to outside energies. It acts as an energetic shield, keeping you aligned with positive vibrations and protecting you from negativity.
Scientific Basis: Visualization, especially when paired with meditation, has been shown to alter brain activity. Neuroimaging studies reveal that visualization can activate similar brain regions as when the action is actually performed, which can be beneficial for psychological well-being. The practice of envisioning white light could be interpreted through the lens of cognitive therapy where visualizing positive images or light can help shift cognitive patterns towards more positive thinking, potentially reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Light is a type of energy that is electromagnetic radiation. Visible light falls somewhere in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum. White light is the combination of all colors in the color spectrum.
8. Crystals for Protection
Crystals are excellent tools for absorbing and transmuting negative energy. Carry protective stones like black tourmaline, amethyst, or smoky quartz to help keep your energy field clear throughout the day. You can also meditate with these crystals, placing them on or near your body to enhance their cleansing effects. Hold the crystal in your hand, set the intention to release negativity, and allow it to clear your energy.
Incorporating crystals into your daily routine is a simple way to maintain a balanced energy field. Whether you wear them as jewelry or place them in your environment, they serve as a constant reminder of the positive energy you are inviting into your life.
Scientific Basis: While the energy-cleansing properties of crystals aren't backed by traditional scientific evidence, the belief in their efficacy can have a psychological impact. The placebo effect is well-documented, where belief in a treatment can lead to real physiological changes. From a psychological perspective,the use of crystals can be seen as a form of symbolic or totem like therapy, where the crystal serves as a tangible representation of one's desire or intention for change, healing, or balance. This can increase your feelings of control over your environment or emotional state which could lead to stress reduction and improved well-being. The act of focusing on something like a crystal during meditation or daily life is a mindfulness practice, which is proven to reduce stress by centering attention and reducing your cognitive load (a way to empty your thoughts).
