Today it is already clear to everyone that our world is filled with all sorts of energies. Unfortunately, many dark forces are at work in him. They, like real invaders, surround a person, settling both in his aura and in the space in which he lives. This invisible aggression leads to trouble, mistakes, losses. Cleansing prayers will help to escape from it. They, like a kind of energy broom, are able to rid you of negativity, create a clean and bright space. What are they, how to use them? Let's figure it out.
What are cleansing prayers?
Let's start with what, in fact, we will get rid of. The very name "cleansing prayers" suggests that there is something unnecessary, superfluous, interfering. It is not in the material sphere, but somewhere in another space. This "trash" is called differently. For some, this is damage or the evil eye, for others it is negative energy, and others speak of the influence of the devil. ATBasically, the terminology doesn't really matter. Let's talk about energy. We will assume that fields and egregors are raging around us, which seek to draw us into the field of their influence. The dark energies that we succumb to will spoil our lives. They, like the tentacles of an octopus, penetrate the brain, take possession of the senses, change the worldview. The result of their activities: erroneous behavior, wrong decisions, troubles and misfortunes. It is from these energies that are trying to capture the soul that one should get rid of, such “weapons” as cleansing prayers are aimed at them.
How do you know if you need help?
Really, how do you know? It is not enough to be aware of how and against what protective, cleansing prayers act. After all, it is still necessary to realize the moment when it is time to use them. We do not scan life circumstances every minute. Everything that happens is perceived by us naturally, finds a rational explanation in the mind. Is it possible to independently understand that a person no longer decides how to live, but under the influence of dark energies? It turns out it's not very difficult. It follows from the postulate that every person was born for happiness. That is his main purpose of existence. Anything that leads in the opposite direction to joy is considered abnormal. Trouble in your life? Has the general background of perception become dark or gray? You can safely start cleansing. Prayer to God will help to make the surrounding reality brighter. So that she plays with new bright emotions andpaints. That is, a prayer from negativity should first of all cleanse your feelings, thoughts, and then the surrounding space. A light soul is known to repel darkness, and vice versa.
Where to read prayers?
An important point that many focus on is whether or not going to church is mandatory. The fact is that there are people who have a negative attitude towards prayer houses (in any religion). Yes, and those who simply can not allocate time to visit the temple, enough. What now, do not turn to prayer? Vice versa. Prayer to God can be offered from anywhere. After all, He is everywhere, not only in the church. It’s just that in the temple the atmosphere itself contributes to concentration on a conversation with the Almighty. There, walls and holy faces help to break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, hassle and other negative thoughts. Although you can read prayers in any other place. A person who is accustomed to trusting the Lord with all his experiences never remains alone, always feels comprehensive support. This contributes to the fight against external "dark threats".
How to say prayers?
The second question is, is it necessary to adhere to the old texts? Do I need to learn Old Church Slavonic words? This is no easy task. Here opinions differ. Some believe that only texts from primary sources will help, others trust modern formulations. If you carefully study all the authoritative reasoning, one conclusion can be drawn. All interpreters agree on one thing: what a person believesthat helps. If there is a bit of doubt in the text, then reading it will not contribute to the purification of the soul. You will try to get rid of dark energies, and they will cling to your disbelief and will continue to destroy life. The conclusion is simple: act as your heart tells you. And it, rest assured, will not be silent.
Choose the text of the prayer
Dealing with vocabulary issues is recommended once and for all. Take completely different texts, of which there are many offered today. For example, there are prayers for all occasions. Choose a few protective ones. Read one a few times, then another after a while, and so on. Your soul will respond with joy or ease. This feeling is special, you will not confuse it with anything. Here, according to this criterion, select a few “your” texts for yourself. They will become the best "brooms", "shields" and "spears" of the soul. Contact them whenever you start to mope, take offense at the whole world, blame others or yourself, and so on. Prayer is needed when happiness eludes you.
Prayers that purify the soul
We talked about theory, now it's time to practice. Let's start with the very first level - the soul. It is important because it is from here that the “legs” of problems grow. If there is a “temple” in the soul, then there is prosperity and splendor around. Therefore, it is recommended to deal with its purity all the time without exception. We should not convince ourselves that we are sinful a priori. But there are plenty of temptations around. Naturally, a normal person cannot help but be “infected” with them. It is from these random energy "infections" that you need tobe cleaned regularly. Orthodox are encouraged to learn such texts as "Our Father", "I Believe", "Prayer to the Holy Cross". They are short. Over time, you will simply have a reflex to pronounce these words on your own whenever bad thoughts come into your head. In fact, this will be a defensive reaction - a strong connection with your Guardian Angel. And at first, try to read prayers every day. In the morning, for example, "Our Father", in the evening - "I believe." Or vice versa. You will understand by feeling. By the way, the text of any of these works as a protective prayer. Words create an aura of purity around a person that repels negativity.
A little more about protection
There are situations when the question of third-party assistance is acute, but there is none. For example, you are walking down a dark street and you are afraid. Or you have to enter into a "battle" with enemies (in the service or in your personal life). It is recommended that you turn to the Lord for support. Protective prayer in this case is a kind of guarantee that you will not be afraid at the most stressful moment. It contributes to the emergence of an unusual feeling of confidence, security, strength. As it is customary to say today: "God is with us." Here is a short text of such a prayer: “Lord! My heavenly father! I adore and pray to you! I entrust my soul and body to the Lord! Bless me and have mercy. I pray that You deliver me, Your servant, from devilish and worldly evil, diseases of the spirit and body. Let me live this day without sin, for Your glory and for the salvation of my immortal soul by Your mercy. Amen!"
For cleansinghome
Often people need to clean the rooms they live in. Scandals, misfortunes, deaths leave an imprint on the place where everything happened. There is a practice to involve clergymen to consecrate the premises. If for some reason this is not possible, then self-prayer will help. Cleaning an apartment is not very difficult. It is not even necessary to know what exactly happened in the room. Reason enough to work is a feeling of painful discomfort. At home, complete comfort should reign. And when you don’t feel like going back there as soon as possible, sadness prevails in the apartment, you should “renew” it a little. Here is a prayer that cleanses the house: “Lord Jesus Christ! Son of God, called to judge the dead and the living! I beg you, have mercy on everyone who lives in this house, forgive us the sins of life. Lead the righteous paths, cover with Your mercy from the Antichrist. Hide in the secret space of Your salvation! Amen! This text is considered a prayer of Nektarios of Optina. It is used to cleanse rooms from dark forces.
About the process
To expel the dark forces from the premises (not only residential), you need to buy a few church candles. The text of the prayer is desirable to learn. Before starting the process, they read "Our Father". Then, with a lit candle, they go around all the rooms clockwise. Prayers are read all the time. If the candle smokes, then there is something "dark" in the house. At the end of the round, the wax and the remains of the candle must be taken out. Don't leave them indoors. They have accumulated negative energy. It is advisable to burn the candle completely. This ritual must be repeated several times.(by feeling). There is also a rite with the Trinity Icon. It is held on Thursdays until sunset.
Purification and protection of the house with the "Trinity"
This icon is a must have at home. It is located opposite the entrance. So that all visitors see it first when they enter the house (apartment). It is believed that the icon does not allow evil forces to pass through the threshold. Bad people will either bypass your house, or change little by little under the influence of amazing power. It is important that she be consecrated in the church. On Thursday, they take it in their hands, as well as a lit candle. Bypass with these attributes of the room, as described above.
Continuously read "Our Father". You should start from the front door. Each corner, door or window is overshadowed with a cross (a hand with a candle). As you return to the threshold, then open the door. Holding the icon in front of you, read the Trinity prayer three times. Now you can extinguish the candle. You shouldn't bring it home. Throw away so that no one picks up or burn. It will leave the negative.
Child protection
Parents need not only to take care of themselves, but also to surround their children with an invisible shield. Until they themselves learn to carry on a conversation with the Higher Forces, they require more thorough and complete care. Their pure souls are subject to many attacks from dark energy. And this leads to illness and other problems. Parents need to take care of their children carefully. It is customary to read the “Life-Giving Cross” above the crib of babies. In the back of the child, when he goes for a walk or to school, the mother standssay one of those prayers that she uses for herself. For example, the already cited prayer of Nektarios of Optina or "Our Father". And it is desirable to teach the baby to turn to the Angel. Let his first prayer be "Our Father". Instill in him an interest in such an occupation, the habit of relying on the Lord. This will protect him for life!
Finally
People these days aren't particularly eager to trust information that they consider to be unsubstantiated. This fully applies to the effectiveness of prayers for purification. Only one argument can be made here: try it yourself, do not rely on someone else's experience. Probably the best way to learn trust is to test. How will prayer work in your specific circumstances, how will your life change? Without experience, it is hardly possible to know. And the first thing that will happen is your own mood will change. Prayer calms, removes unnecessary thoughts. Then, under the influence of a more confident position, life circumstances will begin to change. A person himself does not notice how he alth and personal life are improving, he is striving for career success. Everything is slowly changing, the first glimpses of happiness come, which is the norm of life!
