Your local homewares store should stock good quality (white sage) is preferable and also they may also stock a sage cleansing bouquet which is tied together and you light that and walk around and the smoke wafts around the house, which rids your home of bad energy.
i bought an old house and went there 2 to 3 weeks and even though it was clean it smelt old, not like we owned it and it was ours so yes i cleansed and whether its mind over matter or not, i feel better the house feels like mine, it doesnt smell old, so win win really. Re: Cleansing the energy in a home 14Sep 24, 2008 10:47 pm mix glutinous rice, rice and salt(best if you can find sea salt) in a small pail.
then sprinkle them over all 4 corners of your house(land) and all the toilets. next, organise a few house warmings(parties) and invite as much families as possible preferably those who have kids and let them run/play all over the place. Re: Cleansing the energy in a home 15Sep 26, 2008 10:59 pm A little story.
We bought my grandparents house just over 10 years ago. My grandma had died in the house (natural causes). We decided to demolish the house and re-build. Since demolishing and starting our build we have had major problems (not the least being builder going broke). My sister believes I have upset my grandmother's spirit. My brother in law is Balinese. They have a cleansing ceremony which he believes we should do. Honestly, after 18 months I am beginning to believe I have upset my grandmother's spirit. As soon as we get another builder on board I really think I am going to get my Brother in law to perform that ceremony before they start. Re: Cleansing the energy in a home 16Apr 22, 2009 1:54 pm Hi, at my old house I was washing up one night and felt something brush past behind me (no one there), and then on another night I was looking in the pantry and clearly felt a hand on my waist. It was like you would if you were trying to see past someone and gently asking them to shift a bit to the right. It wasn't freaky at all (and I suffer from the heebee jeebees) so I just stepped to the side and waited a sec. I haven't told many people this. It sounds odd, but it didn't feel odd. Re: 17Apr 22, 2009 6:19 pm Cathski I'm surprised that other people don't believe in cleansing the energy of a home. I don't think it's all that alternative. Some houses and buildings definitely have an 'energy' or 'feel' to them - like The Old Melbourne Gaol for example. Or if you know someone has died in a room, I think it feels different. Some of it's probably mental, but I believe some of it's physical too. I did a google search and it said you can do a feng shui energy cleanse of a house by burning sage and wafting it around the place. I might give it a go when we finish painting. And when my husband's not looking, because like the rest of you, he will think I've lost my marbles . I don't know how 'house cleansing' applies in feng shui but in my mind, it's not all that uncommon to have some sort of ritual to cleanse a new home. My friend is Chinese and as part of her culture, they have a few things that they do to cleanse the home and make it theirs. Even if there is no merit to it, it's just part of tradition. My mum likes to sprinkle Holy Water all over the house. I actually have a lot of friends who have similar traditions, my Italian friends always tell of their parents or grandparents wanting to call the local priest over to bless the house. Built with Commodore Homes - The Fusion completed April 2009 (with modifications) Yes I have moved! Will update as soon as I can...no internet at home right now!!!

I actually have a lot of friends who have similar traditions, my Italian friends always tell of their parents or grandparents wanting to call the local priest over to bless the house. We have just had Holly Water sprinkled throughout our house as well, by my MIL. She also said prayers and blessed the house. We also during the building stage had to do several rituals like spreading salt around the exterior to break a hex. I have always felt the energy of homes...not to the degree like Michelle (Thank goodness for that ) My friend had a home visited by 'previous owners' and I was sick for 3 days after being in the house...that was enough for me. Mrs B Re: Cleansing the energy in a home 19Apr 23, 2009 7:20 pm Prior to moving in August last year we were living in one of our rental properties. We personally knew the people who built and owned it since the 1940's - a lovely couple and their disabled daughter (who lived in a close-by institution from the time she was in her 20's until she passed away around 10yrs ago in her 50-60's). Both DH and myself were the biggest disbelievers you have ever ever ever met. One night we had sort of been toying with the idea of moving and after dinner and a few drinks I don't know why but I said to DH "Do you ever feel like there is someone else in this house besides us and the kids?" - I had never in the previous 18mths ever said anything to him (must have been the "dutch courage" talking) He turned and looked at me and said "Yep a little girl". Well I almost fell off the chair in shock. Whenever I had been in the lounge by myself I would catch sight of a little girl out of the corner of my eye walking through the hallway in a white nightie. Plus I would hear a little girl talking and would think it was our then 3yr old daughter but no she was always asleep in bed. DH had seen and heard the same things but again never mentioned them feeling silly. We weren't scared but it made our decision to move out easier. I did mention it to my mother a couple of weeks later and she said that she too had felt someone in the room with her but never saw anything. Anyhoo two months later we rented out the place again and the tenant had a friend stay over one night two weeks after he moved in. He had never met my DH but the morning after he stayed DH went over to do some odd jobs when this perfect stranger said to my husband "Do you know this house has a ghost?" DH was flabbergasted!! No longer are we disbelievers!! Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Cleansing the energy in a home 20Apr 23, 2009 7:50 pm I am a believer. ......We were renting 14 years ago while building and my son used to wake up every night saying he could hear footsteps in his room even though it was carpeted, he was terrified and so we had to leave the light on for him every night. Some time later we met the next door neighbours who used to live in our rental, she told me there was a ghost of an old man in the house and he had died in the room my son slept in. I felt so terrible for DS but couldn't tell him. I saw figures out the corner of my eye several times when I was the only one in the house. My DH was a total disbeliever, he was watching tele one night after I had gone to bed, twas about 11pm and he said the most disgusting smell hit him in the face, he said it smelt like something dead. From that moment on he believed but we had to stay there for another couple of months, it was a very tense couple of months I used to go in the bedroom and say "well come on, where are you now" mind you this only happened during the daylight hours, never at night. For a while when we moved we thought he had followed us, a couple of times we smelt weird smells, I just kept telling it to go home go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111178 10 years ago was a different software than we use now. it has had a lot of changes over the past years.
