Key Takeaways

1. Everything is Energy: Understand the Interconnected Nature of Reality

In truth, everything is connected, and everything affects and interacts with everything else.

We live in a sea of energy. Our thoughts, feelings, and intentions powerfully influence this energetic field. Understanding this interconnected nature of reality is crucial for effective energy work and spiritual growth. By recognizing that we are part of this unified field, we can consciously direct energy toward healing ourselves, others, and infusing our lives with greater harmony and balance.

The subtle realm exists alongside the physical. This invisible layer of reality includes the realm of infinite love and the many layers of feelings and energies that characterize our present life experience. By tuning into this subtle realm, we can perceive patterns and formations in energy, and learn to interact with, shift, and transform these patterns for positive change.

2. Daily Magical Hygiene: Cleanse and Shield Your Energy Field

Simply loving your items and the people in your life infuses them—and you, by virtue of your relationship with them—with positive energy.

Daily energy cleansing is essential. Like taking a shower for your physical body, regularly cleansing your energetic body helps maintain spiritual health and vitality. A simple yet powerful daily practice involves:

  • Visualization: Imagine a divine vacuum tube of light entering your energetic body, removing all darkness and negativity.
  • Grounding: Visualize roots growing from your body into the earth's core, anchoring you and drawing up golden light.
  • Chakra activation: Envision each chakra being cleansed and activated with earth and cosmic light.
  • Shielding: Surround yourself with a sphere of protective white and indigo-violet light.

Supplement with physical practices. Regular sea salt baths, blessing your food and water, and choosing positive-vibration foods can further support your energetic hygiene.

3. Clear Your Space: Transform Stagnant Energy into Positive Vibrations

Space clearing—an ancient practice present in countless cultures, though the term was coined by the author and healer Denise Linn—is a powerful method of dispersing and transmuting stagnation and heaviness and establishing beautiful, buoyant, sparkling energetic conditions in any given physical space.

Regular space clearing is crucial. Just as dust accumulates in our physical spaces, stagnant energy can build up in our homes and workplaces. A thorough space-clearing ritual can include:

  • Decluttering and physical cleaning
  • Using sound (e.g., rattles, bells) to loosen stagnant energy
  • Smudging with sage or other herbs
  • Visualization of white light filling the space
  • Setting intentions for the renewed energy of the space

Tailor clearing methods to your needs. Different situations may call for various clearing techniques. For example, moving into a new space, after a disagreement, or when suspecting the presence of earthbound entities might require more intensive clearing rituals.

4. Invoke Divine Assistance: Align with Higher Powers for Support

We never walk alone. Wherever we go and whatever we do, spirit helpers and beings of light accompany us.

Divine helpers are always available. Whether you conceptualize them as angels, spirit guides, ascended masters, or aspects of your higher self, these beings are eager to assist in your spiritual work. To invoke their help:

  • Set a clear intention for the type of assistance you need
  • Call on specific beings that resonate with your purpose (e.g., Archangel Michael for protection, Saint Germain for transformation)
  • Trust that your request has been heard and is being acted upon

Create an altar or sacred space. This can serve as a focal point for connecting with your chosen divine helpers and maintaining a consistent spiritual practice.

5. Earthbound Entities: Understand and Clear Lingering Spirits

Earthbound means exactly that: earthbound. Light beings and spirit helpers, on the other hand, are in no way stuck or bound to the earth plane.

Earthbound entities are stuck energies. These can be fragments of deceased individuals' consciousness that haven't fully transitioned to the light, often due to confusion, fear, or attachment. Signs of their presence may include:

  • Unexplained noises or temperature changes
  • Sudden emotional shifts or cravings
  • Recurring dreams or visions of past events

Clearing these entities is an act of compassion. By helping them transition to the light, you're not only improving your space's energy but also assisting these fragments in their spiritual journey. Techniques for clearing include:

  • Calling on divine assistance (e.g., Archangel Michael)
  • Using sage or other purifying herbs
  • Visualizing a doorway of light for the entities to pass through

6. Protect Your Energy: Create Boundaries and Maintain Positivity

Nothing protects us from all forms of negativity like true courage and calm, and nothing opens us up to negativity like letting fear and worry run the show.

Cultivate a positive mindset. Your thoughts and emotions create your energetic reality. Practice:

  • Meditation and mindfulness
  • Affirmations and positive self-talk
  • Regularly connecting with nature

Create energetic boundaries. Visualize protective shields of light around yourself and your space. Use crystals, herbs, or essential oils known for their protective properties.

Release fear and worry. When challenging thoughts arise, practice "handing them over" to your divine helpers or higher self. Trust that everything is unfolding as it should.

7. Bless and Fine-Tune Your Space: Infuse Your Environment with Good Vibes

Blessing and fine-tuning the space is like helping your space to hum a different tune, infusing the space (and therefore your life) with the fabulous vibes of the tune, and, in the process, making sure the old tune has absolutely no inclination to reappear.

Regular blessings maintain positive energy. After clearing your space, infuse it with specific intentions and positive vibrations. Methods include:

  • Visualization of colored light or symbols representing your intentions
  • Using essential oils, crystals, or sacred objects
  • Inviting benevolent spirits or energies into your space

Create a personalized blessing ritual. Combine elements that resonate with you, such as candles, incense, affirmations, and visualization. Make it a regular practice to keep your space's energy aligned with your intentions.

8. Cultivate Positivity: Develop Habits for Spiritual Maintenance

What we focus on expands—and thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can easily become habits.

Maintain a spiritual practice. Regular habits that support your energetic and spiritual well-being are crucial. Consider incorporating:

  • Yoga or other mindful movement practices
  • Time in nature
  • Journaling or morning pages
  • Forgiveness work
  • Questioning and releasing limiting beliefs

Be patient and persistent. Spiritual growth and energy work are ongoing processes. Celebrate small victories and be gentle with yourself as you develop these habits.

Stay open to inspiration. As you become more attuned to the subtle realm, trust your intuition to guide you towards practices and methods that resonate with your unique spiritual path.
