Also, keep your home well-lit and airy to bring positive energy into your life. Avoid clutter, especially at the main door. Keep your home free of unpleasant odours, so remember to clear your trash often, use bins with lids, store regularly worn shoes in closed shoe cabinets, cover the toilet lids and scent the bathrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Master Alvin:<\/strong> You can also try these tips to cleanse your home of negative energy:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use white sage to smoke your house. Start on the left side of the main door and walk clockwise while holding the sage. You should end on the right side of the main door. Leave any residual white sage smoke to circulate around the living room, to clear out any negative energy there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burn and smoke agarwood incense in areas where you feel uneasy. Use it the same way you would white sage.
