influences accumulated from
outside. A few time-tested and
easy-to-implement tools that
one can benefit from are listed
here.

Daily meditation
It is always better to
strengthen our auric
boundary to defend against
any trespassing negativity.
A 20-minute meditation on a
regular basis energises our
auric field and makes us more
centred and empowered at all
levels—physical, mental, and
emotional. A strong aura does
not allow any toxic energy to
build up.

Cleansing with sea salt
Salt is an easily available and
a very useful tool for regular

cleansing. A salt water bath

for a few consecutive days

effectively drives out negativity.

One can also spray or mop the

floor with salt water to invite

success and good luck in one’s

home or workplace. From the

range of salts available in the

market, crystal salt is better as

compared to common cooking

salt, for cleansing. However,

the pink Himalayan salt is the

best option for this purpose.

Despite having a limited range

and small output, Himalayan

salt lamps are very popular

nowadays, being highly

effective and user-friendly.

Smudging

Smudging is the use of sacred

smoke to induce positivity

to the air present in an

area.  Both, benzoin (sambrani)

and white sage (leaves of a

plant by this name) are very

useful for smudging the aura,

home, and work areas. The

process of smudging entails

walking around in a clockwise

manner to cover every nook

and corner in every room and

later on, opening the doors and

windows to allow the negative

energy to move out, leaving

behind only the good energy. It

is advisable to do smudging in

the evening to release the day-

long accumulated negativity.

Crystals

Crystals carry very fine and

high vibrations which promote

physical, emotional, and mental

well-being. Certain crystals

like citrine and amethyst, when

energised and placed at home

and in business establishments,

are very effective in lifting the

vibration and attracting success

and prosperity for the owners.

Crystals like selenite, black

tourmaline and tiger eye, when

worn on the self or energised

and kept at an establishment,

are very effective in warding

off negative energy and the evil

eye. Hematite is buried in the

ground during the construction

of a building for protection and

grounding. Clusters of crystals,

especially clear quartz, can

be placed at home to promote

harmony amongst family

members.
