Overcome Predecessor Energy with Feng Shui in Your Home Or Business

Predecessor energy is negative energy that remains in a space after significant events.

This can be a series of adverse events such as a dramatic divorce, foreclosure, drug use, fire, family issues, depression, and more. The energy will linger in the space and affect those who occupy it. Similarly, in a business, predecessor energy can arise from events such as bankruptcy, lay-offs, or even physical renovations.

A home in my neighborhood has experienced significant negative energy in its 20-year lifespan. The original owners went through a traumatic divorce, the house went into foreclosure, was rented, became a site for drug use, suffered a fire, and remained unoccupied for a long time before being repaired and sold. Additionally, the house is located on a busy corner and is frequently exposed to the bright lights of passing cars. Although large pines have been planted around the house to act as a barrier, they may not be enough to mitigate the powerful chi aimed at it.

I am glad to see the new owners taking on the challenge of restoring the home, but I cannot comment on the current energy within the house. However, the predecessor energy can be observed on the property’s exterior. The corner is often filled with discarded items, left for people to take, and the items have remained there for months, even after multiple snow, thaw, and freeze cycles. This is a clear sign of the negative energy the property continues to attract.

Another example of predecessor energy can be experienced when shopping for a car.

My husband and I were hunting for a convertible one summer. He found a fantastic car, and we went to take it for a spin. However, as soon as I got close to the car, I began to feel uncomfortable and uneasy. I suggested to my husband that we probably shouldn’t drive it, but he wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, my discomfort intensified as soon as we got into the car. My head started to ache, and I felt nauseous and almost threw up in the car! After we left, I learned that the vehicle had been involved in a serious accident and rebuilt.  I am an Empath and Psychic, and I sensed the indiviudals involved in the crash had serious head tramua and likely someone did not make it.  Begs the question of why was the car rebuilt?

Vacation is all about relaxlation and fun!

Going on vacation? Renting an home? Protect you and your family’s energy so you have an incredible time! My go to when traveling is Palo Santo spray. My go to Spray is from Shaman’s Market, I love it and I trust it! It smells amazing and luxurious, think spas. Spray the space as soon as you arrive, and set the intention that all negative and non beneficial energy leave as you spray.

A simple and effective way to stay on top of managing the energy of the space.

How to remove predecessor energy?

Acknowledge and address predecessor energy, as it can negatively impact daily life and well-being.  The first thing you need to do is try to identify what is creating this energy.  Was it a divorce, bankruptcy, or something worse?  One way to release this energy is through Feng Shui Clearing, which involves using sage, Salt Cleanse, or other methods to clear the space of negative energy and bring in positive energy.

A sage clearing is my go to when I want to strip a space, but this type of clearning needs a blessing and strong intention. 

Simple Sage Clearing

What you will need:

One sage stick, I purchase from Juniper Ridge, a sustainable source. 

Matches, be mindful and practice safely as you are working with fire.  Never leave burning sage unattended.

1. Meditate.  In order to properly clear a space you have to be in a space of peace not fear. 

2. Set your intention.  Journal your intentions for the clearing.  Be specific, “I am removing all negative and non beneficial energy from the space creating a new canvas for blessings, health, prosperity, joy and happiness”.

3. Open windows and your front and back doors.  You are releasing old energy and it needs to go somewhere.

4. Sage, start at your front door and work through out the main level clockwise, then upstairs, then downstairs.  Visualize the smoke leaving out the doors and windows with the unwanted energy  

5. When you have completed the saging.  Take a moment at your front door and thank your angels and guides for helping you with the process. 

6. Say a prayer and bless the space.  Be specific and fill your home with peace, love, prosperity and joy.

Not comfortable with this process? A Feng Shui Expert, like myself, can do a clearing in person or remotely. Please reach out if you need help with clearing your home or business.

It’s also important to implement ongoing energy clearing practices, to maintain a positive and harmonious energy in your living or workspace.
