DEAR BONNIE: Lately, my home has felt heavy and sluggish. No matter how much I clean, I just can’t shake this uncomfortable vibe. Is it possible for a house to hold onto negative energy and how can I fix it? — Thanks Adrian

DEAR ADRIAN: The short answer is a resounding yes. Just as dust settles on a bookshelf, emotional and energetic residue collects in the corners of our rooms. Our homes act like sponges absorbing the vibrations of stressful days, illness arguments or even just the daily hustle of life. When that energy stagnates it leaves us feeling tired, irritable and restless.

Clearing your space doesn’t require complex rituals. It is all about shifting the vibration. Here is a simple step-by-step way to clear out the old stagnant energy and make your home feel light, soft and supportive again.

Before you do anything else open a few windows and doors — even just for ten minutes. You need to give the heavy old energy a physical exit route. As the fresh air rushes in, visualize the stale vibrations being pushed right out of the windows.

Sound is one of the fastest and most effective ways to break up dense, stuck energy. You don’t need fancy tools; a simple hand bell, a wind chime, or even loud, rhythmic clapping works beautifully. Walk around the perimeter of your rooms paying special attention to the corners, closets and doorways where energy loves to hide. Clapping or ringing a bell in these areas instantly shatters the energetic density.

Darkness keeps energy heavy. Open your curtains and let the sunshine flood in. If you have areas that feel particularly sluggish, place a small bowl of sea salt in the corner for 24 hours to absorb the remaining density then discard it. Bringing in a healthy green plant can also instantly revitalize a room’s vibe.

Once the space is cleared it is empty. It is vital to fill that empty space with a high loving vibration so the old heaviness doesn’t creep back in.

To bless the room, stand right in the center of the space. Close your eyes, take a deep grounding breath and place your hands over your heart. Visualize a brilliant warm white light expanding from your chest, growing larger until it completely fills the room from floor to ceiling.

Speak your intention out loud with confidence and love. You can say something like:

“I bless this space with peace love and harmony. May only light and comfort dwell here. May all who enter feel safe rested and loved. And so it is.”

Imagine this blessing sealing the walls like a protective cozy blanket. When you open your eyes you will immediately notice the shift. Your home is now a sanctuary again — soft, clear and perfectly aligned with your peace.
