As a crab walks sideways, so do people siddle up to me, either on social media or via email (and in person) and then run at a hundred miles through their problem as if just mentioning it makes them sound bizarre...
"Ermmmhhhh! I have this funny smell in my home. I don't know what it is, but I smell it when I wake up and it's there when I go to sleep. I've cleaned my room, washed my sheets every day for a fortnight, and worn deodorant to bed. Yet it lingers and is still there. When I've asked my family to come and smell it they look at me as if I should be seeing men in white coats, as they can't smell anything. I've stopped eating garlic in case somehow it's that and I'm not sleeping well....is this something you can help me with? I'm willing to try anything to get rid of it! What do I do?"
My first response is always: "Relax!" followed by "When was the last time that you cleaned your energy fields?" At which point the enquirer usually blinks (if it's a Skype call), or types a '?' if the message has come by text or DM.
As we move through our day interacting with people, places, foods, animals, and the general environment whether that's urban, rural, public transport, car-share, taxi, going to a pub or restaurant, shopping etc, we all pick up strands of energy and psychic debris (whether we believe this is possible or not).
It is important that we at least recognise that picking up psychic debris and other people's discarded or targeted energy through e.g. thought-forms (where the old adage about being 'stabbed in the back' reminds us that we are always telegraphing our energy towards ourselves and others), is a real possibility, then it isn't as surprising that we may be unfortunate and bring home an energy (or univited energy guest) that lets us know that it is in our environment e.g. through a funny smell. Some people attribute unfortunate smells to problems with the drains, and that energy form remains with them for a long time in their personal environment.
To prevent and stop unwanted energies being with us for a long period of time, I suggest using a simple energy clearing technique that I regularly use too.
I call it, Archangel Michael's vacuum cleaner.
(Yes you did read that correctly!).
The Process:
Turn off your device and ensure that there are no distractions.
Sit quietly and relax.
Breathe at your normal rate.
When you are ready, imagine opening your Crown chakra (that's the purpley-pink one on the diagram above, just above the top of your skull located in your auric energy fields).
Ask Archangel Michael to bring the hose of his vacuum cleaner through the Crown chakra so it sits lightly within your energy fields (I usually imagine this as a 'Henry' vacuum cleaner i.e. a pod vacuum cleaner with a long hose and the cleaning head removed).
Ask him to use the vacuum cleaner to suck away all negative energies, entities, areas of darkness, psychic smells, psychic debris and anything else that he might find located within your energy fields.
Focus on releasing, whilst staying relaxed and breathing normally.
You may see, feel, sense or hear how the clearing is going and you will probably get an inkling as to when he's completed the work.
At this point, ask Archangel Michael to remove his vacuum cleaner hose and thank him for his help.
As he withdraws, invite Archangel Raphael in to fill you up with his sparkling green light.
Let Archangel Raphael fill your energy fields up.
When you sense that this has completed, thank Archangel Raphael and when he has withdrawn, close your Crown chakra.
See your energy fields sparkling and clean.
Addendum:
I practice this technique at least once a week as I view it as good self-care for my energy fields.
If I've been in heavy trafficked areas, such as passing a Crematorium or Churchyard or hospital, been in a supermarket or other shop, or come into contact with people in enclosed spaces, then when I get home I practice the above technique to remove any unwanted energies that I may have picked up during my day.
If you've never cleaned your energy fields it may take up to 5-10 minutes to complete this process (so you'll need to set aside about 15 minutes to do a thorough clean).
When you regularly use the above technique to clean your energy fields it may take less than 1 minute.
Regular practice and setting aside a little time to practice self-care is always a good thing.
Sending you many blessings.
