Releasing Negativity

To release negativity, find a smooth stone that fits nice and comfortably in the palm of your hand. Go somewhere where you will be alone, comfortable, and undisturbed.

When you're very comfortable, hold the stone in your hands, close your eyes, and concentrate on all the negative thoughts, feelings, and actions you've been dealing with: This is the time of all times to allow yourself to dwell on the negative... let it flow like a river, and out through your hands into the stone.

Deep breathing while doing this helps as you can imagine the negativity being released into the stone with every exhale.

Keep this up for as long as it takes - you will eventually begin to feel the energy of your thoughts waning and finally coming to a plateau.

Do not hold on to any of this negativity any longer, let it all out and into the stone by physically feeling the energy leave your hands and enter the stone - the stone is getting heavier and you are getting lighter.

Finally, once you know you are finished, carry the stone outside and toss it, if possible, off of your property and with great force, while happily bidding it farewell!

When you give it back to the earth, she will neutralize the negativity living in the stone.

The effect of this spell should work for at least a few days, clearing your mind for the chance to fix whatever negative things are going on in your life with a much clearer head.

If you don't bother trying to fix the negativity in your life so that it stops coming back to haunt you, the only purpose this spell will serve is medicative - like taking cough suppressant so that the problem is still there, it just doesn't bother you for a while until the medicine wears off.

Negative thoughts and feelings aren't necessarily bad if you think of them the same way as physical pain: when we are in pain, it is our body's way of letting us know there is something wrong that needs healing. Negative thoughts and feelings can do the same exact thing for us, but when we ignore them for too long they become over-whelming. Use this spell to clear your head, and deal with your issues so that they don't become so bad in the future.

If the negativity you were feeling/thinking was the result of a mental issue such as clinical depression, try repeating this exercise whenever any negative or racing thoughts recur.

Notes:

Try Malachite, Obsidian, and especially Rose Quartz to help release negativity, and a good smudge never hurt anyone!

Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship.

-Alfred A Montapert


What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of.

-Julia Cameron


The best way of removing negativity is to laugh and be joyous.

-David Icke


I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

-Tennessee Williams


Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

-Bryan Adams


Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

-Buddha


Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us.

-E. M. Cioran


For every force, there is a counter force. For every negative there is a positive. For every action there is a reaction. For every cause there is an effect.

-Grace Speare



You can't expect to prevent negative feelings altogether. And you can't expect to experience positive feelings all the time. The Law of Emotional Choice directs us to acknowledge our feelings but also to refuse to get stuck in the negative ones.

-Greg Anderson


If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

-Peace Pilgrim


It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.

-Robert H. Schuller


We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic.

-Susan Jeffers


A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.

-Vernon Howard

1 Comments:

Is "Releasing Negativity" into a stone an actual spell or is it a form of meditation or relaxation?

And what would happen if you or someone else was to pick up that stone again? -Would that transfer the negative energy to them?

Is negativity just like the daily or ongoing stresses/burdens of life, or is it bad thoughts to other people, and is it a way you would shed your sins or wrong doings or is it just to clear your head?
