How to Clear Negative Energy from Your Body and Mind

In the search for healing, we might feel tempted to focus on healing our physical and psychological struggles, while neglecting their source—negative or stagnant energy.

Holistic healing therapies propose that disease has its root in our subtler bodies, including the energy body. 

By cleansing the negative or stagnant energy trapped in the body, healing will occur

naturally. 

This article will explore the power of the Running Energy technique, a simple but powerful daily practice to clear negative energy from your body and mind.

Why You Should Clear Negative Energy

There is more than meets the eye, especially when it comes to the physical body.

Our bodies, according to ancient traditions, are more than just flesh and bone—they are a complex intersection of different forms of energy, working together to create an intricate whole.

One of these energies is the one that makes up our subtle body, an energetic double of the physical body, also known as the quantum body by researchers. 

The subtle body is deeply influenced by emotions, which move the subtle energy across different ethereal channels and pathways. However, negative feelings, trauma, or repressed emotions can block this natural flow and rhythm, resulting in an energetic imbalance. 

In consequence, we feel weighed down, tense, irritable, and ungrounded. This energetic imbalance echoes at all levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Energy clearing is not just a self-help exercise, it is a vital practice for well-being.

Running Energy: A Powerful Technique to Clear Negative Energy

Among holistic health and spiritual literature, you can find several practices to clear negative energy from your body and mind. Some require additional tools, such as Tibetan bowls, special crystals, or sage.

Running Energy, on the other hand, is a simple and accessible technique to clear negative energy that only requires focused imagination. 

In sum, Running Energy is a visualization technique that helps move stagnant or heavy energy through the body and back into the earth. It harnesses the power of active imagination as a spiritual technique. 

This method has numerous benefits, allowing you to release tension, promote clarity, strengthen intuition, and restore emotional balance.

How to Clear Negative Energy: Step-by-Step Guide

Running Energy is a powerful technique to clear negative energy through simple steps. 

Step 1: Find a Quiet Space

Prepare a comfortable and undisturbed place, such as your bedroom. Make sure it is quiet and peaceful.  Then, sit or lie in a comfortable position, releasing tension in the body.

When you feel ready and relaxed, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. The goal is to turn your energy inward to engage in imaginal practice.

Deep breathing also promotes focus and helps to calm the mind. 

This part sets the tone for the rest of the practice, allowing the body and the mind to respond accordingly to the following steps.

Step 2: Visualize Energy Flowing Downward

When your body and mind feel relaxed, you can start with the visualization exercises.

The next step involves imagining a pure stream of energy entering through the crown of your head. This stream symbolizes healing universal energy that enters your body and helps promote energy flow, clear negative energy, and restore balance.

Use your imagination to consciously move this energy downward, letting it travel down your spine and exit through your root chakra (located in your coccyx). Visualize how this pure stream flows deep into the earth.

This part symbolizes the release of negative or stagnant energy from your body. So visualize, again with the power of imagination, how any heaviness or stuckness is being pulled down and released.

Step 3: Visualize Energy Flowing Upward

Now, once you are done with the previous step, imagine that pure stream as clean nourishing energy looping back from the earth. 

As the flow of energy rises, feel how it enters through the soles of your feet, as energy vortices that connect you to the earth. Then, visualize the stream moving upward through your legs and spine, while cleansing and energizing your whole body. Finally, imagine how it exits through your crown.

This step represents how, now that you have released all the negativity in your body, this healing energy brings renewal and recharges you with positive energy. Now, feel how your body experiences a sense of lightness, restoration, and strength. 

Step 4: Ground and Set an Intention

After completing the energy flow visualization exercise, it’s time to ground yourself with a sense of gratitude. Bring attention to the body and the present moment, deepening your self-awareness and feeling the positive change. 

Use grounding techniques, such as feeling your heart and bringing awareness to your breath.

Alternatively, you may try the following grounding technique: 

Bring your focus to your root chakra again, imagining roots that connect you to the earth, promoting a sense of balance and security.

Close with a prayer reflecting your gratitude, and set an intention to continue releasing negative energy. Try the following mantra or affirmation: 

 "I release all that does not belong to me. I am grounded, clear, and whole."

Choose Healing Colors

Colors play a vital role in therapeutic work to clear negative energy. Each color has a unique

frequency that is associated with specific types of energy. 

In energy healing work, each color has a different meaning and power.

• White: Purification

• Blue: Calm, clarity, and communication

• Green: Healing and balance

• Gold: Divine protection and higher wisdom

• Pink: Unconditional love and self-acceptance

Harness the power of intuition, choosing a color that resonates with you and supports your current emotional and energetic needs. Feel free to change the color in the next sessions depending on your goals, needs, and expectations.

Alternative Ways to Clear Negative Energy

You can combine the Running Energy technique with other energy healing methods to enhance its effects.

• Crystal work: Use crystals to channel energy throughout your body

• Yoga or walking: Gentle exercise is an excellent way to move stagnant energy throughout the body

• Spend time in nature: Performing the visualization technique in a natural setting boosts its healing power

• Sound cleansing: Energy healing tools such as Tibetan bowls help to promote energy flow and transmutation with the power of sound.

• Meditation: A short meditation before or after applying the Running Energy technique allows you to calm the mind and release negative thoughts. 

Final Thoughts on How to Clear Negative Energy

Energy clearing is more than an alternative healing approach—it is a deep spiritual and emotional need. It allows us to release stagnant and negative energy in the body, a frequent cause of physical and energetic imbalances, including disease. 

In this sense, energy clearing is a form of self-care and spiritual hygiene, a necessity for anyone on an inner healing path. 

Energy clearing is also not a once-in-a-lifetime ritual. Regular practice is vital to achieve the desired results. The Running Energy technique makes it easy to apply daily, promoting emotional resilience, inner peace, and energetic empowerment. 

Healing is energetic, an inside-out process, a journey that encompasses every aspect of ourselves—our bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits. When we heal our subtler energies, we can begin to experience restoration in our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. 

Negative, stagnant energy hinders our growth. By releasing it with love and conscious awareness, we embark on an odyssey for evolution, spiritual growth, and transformation.
