Taking away Negative Energy from Somebody

[Aquarian_Moon]

I am new at the idea of taking away negative energy from somebody you care about. I'm thinking it works somewhat differently than merely sending out positive energy. I mean, in an attempt to a troubled ex-friend living elsewhere, I found it seemed to work somewhat like psychic vampirism. But I didn't want to steal energy, especially bad energy, so I tried to cleanse/purify this energy and send it back to this person.

Was this the correct way to do it? I need guidance, as this is something i would like to help a lot of ppl with, once i understand it and get stronger. I know nothing about reiki or other healing.

I would prefer PM'ing as opposed to discussing in this thread. thanx. :)

how can I take away negative energy from myself and my family???

For ILOVEAUTUMNS: An easy and non-risky method i find is useful is you can play some uplifting music, and visualize a black cloud or other particles leaving those who are releasing the negativity, and the household in general. The more you visualize, then the more is removed.

If an argument is going on, however, or another case of strong negative emotions between ppls, this probably wouldn't work, because those ppl would be attracting more negativity than u could get rid of at the same time. Also, it's important you keep your mind pure, and not let out your own negativity when doing this; including fear and uncertainty.

I would say that it depends on where the negative energy is coming from. Like if they have a lot of arguments you might want to pray for peace for them.

Negative and positive energy are often used terms, but the thing is energy really just is. Sometimes sickness, which may be viewed as negative, can play a functional part in people's lives and so may not be negative in the end. Like if a person is over working themselves then the sickness may help them step back.

Or lets say a person doesn't get a job even though they need one. I've seen it where a person didn't get the job only to find out later that the boss was really horrible.

if someone wants negative energy taken away or transmuted then it has to be on their part also. if you take negative energy away from a person, it will come back unless somethign is changed on their side. if they aren't into energy stuff, and are trying to rectify the situations, maybe send them some nice incense or burn a candle for them.

theres a whole slew of things to do, but be careful on taking their negative energy and processing it if your not experienced because one can take it onto themselves. sending positive energy will help, but I usually send for the highest good, as sometimes the highest good is not what we'd call good, at least initially, but can end up better in the end.

I know this may sound vague, and complicated at the same time, but hopefully its been some help. feel free to ask more specific questions. it helps to know more background generally also.

To absorb negativity you need a white candle and a black candle. Carve on the white one, this is for our protection and on the black one, this is to absorb negativity in a good way, for the good of all with harm to none. Light the white candle first then the black and let them burn down as long as you can. Snuff them black first then white. If the black burns down quickly do another one.

If you know who is sending the negative energy do white, purple, black. White for our protection, black - this is to take the black and purple - this is to send it back with no one hurt and nothing more added. Snuff them purple, black, white.

My personal faveourite for this kind of thing involves a white candle, a brown candle, a black candle and some salt.
Light the black candle and be aware of the negative energies, and acknowledge them.
Light the brown candle, and visualise neutrality.
Light the white and visualise positive, cleaned energies.
line up the candles, black, brown white and draw an arrow with the salt from the black, arrow head pointing at the white. Picture the negative energies changing to positive ones and benefitting those around.
Leave the candles to burn down.
