Positive Home Energy

You know that living things have energy, and the energy can be positive or negative. That's an oversimplification, of course, but you know what I'm talking about. Did you know that your home has energy too? I'm not talking about gas and electric, as I'm sure you've guessed. I'm talking about the living energy of the home that manifests through the people who live there, the activities they engage in and its overall spirit.

Good music, laughter and honest, positive communication can keep a good vibe. Arguments and conflict disturb the energy and and lower the vibrations. We've all walked into someone's home and either felt welcomed and enveloped, or rejected and cold -- just by feeling the vibrations.

I help realtors when they're preparing homes to sell. Sometimes my realtor clients will call and ask me to clear the energy of a house that is just not selling. Sometimes it's mou
ing the loss of the family who left it, or feeling the effects of a nasty divorce. We've all heard of haunted houses, and often that's stuck energy from a traumatic event.

I could cite lots of anecdotal evidence that balancing the energy in a house can help a house sell. Just one example is from Deena. Last year when a friend was getting ready to sell her home in Washington, Deena bumped up the house energy and the house sold in four hours.

Recently, Karen's husband and a friend bought a house to flip. As they were preparing to put it on the market, Karen raised the energy on the house since it was quite low. The house got a full-price offer in two days, which is amazing in this down market.

More important than balancing the energy in a house you are going to sell is doing it for a house that you intend to live in or are already living in. You want to make sure that harmony and positive energy reign in your home. Even without an outside practitioner coming in to clear the energy, you can do your part by speaking positively and lovingly to the members of your household, by playing positive music and even thinking positive thoughts. Do these things and your house will be much more than just the place you live -- it will be home.
