Negative energy surrounding us comes from our own circumstances, emotions, relationship dramas, environment, addictions etc.

 

Yes, you can do regular chakra and energy field clearings to clear negative energy, but unless you clear the reasons why the negative energy is there and why you attracted it or allow it (the patterns and behaviors, how you deal with people, environment etc) then it will just come back. Fortunately, clearing your charkas and energy field regularly can trigger changes to take place which move the way for those deeper things to start shifting. And you can work the other way also, doing healing work on patterns and behaviors and feeling stuck to certain negative energies or people or tendencies towards negative thinking and emotions (obsessing, being stuck in the head, doubt, fear, anger, feeling depressed, a victim, hurt, betrayed, lonely etc). This has a clearing affect on the aura as you clear more and more.

 

What I could start with is clearing the field of the energy and then move to the more physical or emotional realm or the other way. But for your own help to clear negative energy, take up a practice of exercise and relaxation/meditation/visualization. Exercise (however gentle) helps release negative energy and to energize and uplift. relaxation helps being stuck in the head. You can buy sage to burn and clear your space at home or you can use EFT (emotional freedom technique) or visualizations for that too. Music also has a tremendous affect, so keep music playing that is high vibration. Anyone who has seen "Whats the Bleep" knows that words can have tremendous effect and carry a vibration, so see yourself as if you are in a container of sorts and what words do you want written on it to affect your vibration?

 

Knowing your environment is key. So surround yourself with positive, upbeat and supportive people, keep your house clear of too much clutter and mess, put things in the container around you that vibrate a high vibration to you. Sometimes we cannot control being surrounded by negative people or situations that will affect our own energy, especially if having to do with work or family relationships and dramas. So, in these cases, you might want to clear any cords with such people regularly and any of others energy from your field and work to maintain your boundaries and integrity and just place yourself in white light or the idea of being in a container with beautiful words written on it if you have to be in a negative environment or around negative people.... You can even send some love and high vibration their way too...
