Energy Clearing: How to Clear Negative Energy and Restore Emotional Balance
As an empath and energy intuitive, I learned early in my journey that energy clearing was such a powerful tool to have.
Energy clearing is becoming one of the most searched self-care and healing practices as people look for ways to manage stress, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation in an increasingly fast-paced world.
If you’ve ever felt drained after being around certain people, emotionally heavy for no clear reason, or disconnected from yourself despite “doing all the right things,” your energy field may simply need clearing.
Energy clearing is the practice of releasing emotional, mental, and energetic residue that your body and nervous system are no longer meant to carry. It’s a foundational tool in energy healing, spiritual wellness, and emotional regulation.
Just as we cleanse our physical body daily, our energetic body also needs regular care, especially for empaths, caregivers, starseeds, and highly sensitive people.
What Is Energy Clearing?
Energy clearing (also called energy cleansing or spiritual energy cleansing) helps remove stagnant or absorbed energy that can build up from:
Emotional stress
Overthinking or anxiety
Social interactions
Work environments
Trauma or unresolved emotions
Constant digital stimulation
Over time, this buildup may show up as fatigue, irritability, brain fog, emotional reactivity, poor sleep, or feeling “off” without knowing why.
Clearing your energy creates space for calm, clarity, grounding, and emotional balance.
Benefits of Regular Energy Clearing
A consistent energy clearing practice can support:
Emotional regulation and stress relief
Nervous system balance
Better sleep and recovery
Increased focus and intuition
Feeling grounded, safe, and present
Releasing emotional blocks stored in the body
This is why searches for energy healing for stress and anxiety and nervous system regulation practices continue to rise.
I have been known to do some energy clearing every few hours on challenging days or when I need to be interacting with a lot of people. Knowing when you need it and having a quick way to shift your own energy is game changing!
Example 1: Daily Emotional Energy Clearing Technique
This is a simple daily energy clearing practice you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated.
How to clear energy:
Sit with your feet flat on the floor.
Take three slow, grounding breaths.
Bring awareness to your chest and belly.
Say silently or aloud:
“I let go of all energy that is not mine or no longer serves me.”Visualize the energy leaving your body and grounding into the earth.
This technique is especially helpful for energy clearing for empaths and anyone who absorbs the emotions of others.
Example 2: Energy Clearing Before Sleep
Many people feel unsettled and anxious before bed without realizing how much unprocessed energy affects sleep quality.
Try this nightly energy cleansing practice:
Place one hand on your heart and one on your lower abdomen.
Breathe slowly and deeply.
Say:
“I let go of today. My body is safe to rest.”Visualize your energy field softening and settling.
This supports emotional release, grounding, and nervous system regulation—key factors in deeper rest.
Energy Clearing Is a Practice, Not a One-Time Fix
Energy clearing works best when practiced consistently. Some days the release feels immediate; other days it’s subtle. Both are effective.
Go back to your preferred energy clearing practice when you feel called to. Repeat them as needed throughout more challenging or demanding days.
Clearing Energy to Reconnect With Yourself
Learning how to clear energy isn’t about avoiding emotions—it’s about allowing them to move through you instead of staying stored in your body.
When you release energetic buildup, you return to your natural state:
Calm
Clear
Grounded
Connected
