Have you ever walked into a room or a building and felt a troubling sensation that you did not understand? Maybe you felt a heaviness, or a feeling of tightness as if you were claustrophobic. If this has ever happened, you may be picking up on a spirit inside of the room or you may be sensing the energy of a traumatic event that once happened there.
If there are people in the room, there is a chance that you are picking up on the energy of one or more of the people, particularly if you are an empath. If that is the case, try to limit your time around those who are sending off the bad vibes. Another thing you can do is set the intention that only your feelings and emotions affect you.
But if there is no one in the room, the vibes likely have something to do with the room itself.
In some cases a whole building may give you bad vibes. In other cases, it could be one particular room in a house that gives you bad vibes while the rest of the home makes you feel normal. Often, an entire house may make you feel uncomfortable, but the uneasy feeling is stronger in one part of the home than another.
Why a space has bad vibes
There could be many reasons why a certain space gives off bad vibes. Someone could have died, been murdered or committed suicide in the space. Someone could have experienced a traumatic loss in this spot, leaving the energy of grief. Someone could have put some type of spell or curse on the space. Perhaps the vibes aren’t so much about the house, but about your role in the house. Maybe you are feeling uncomfortable because your intuition is trying to tell you that you should not be in the house.
If you are house hunting and you visit a home that gives you bad vibes, follow your gut and keep looking until you find a home that feels good to you. Some people have their homes blessed and cleansed of negative energy before moving into them. You can often find a psychic or other holistic professional that specializes in energy work to do this.
If you are a ghost hunter, you may be drawn to houses that give off bad vibes. Such environments may be filled with spirits that you can experience. While some psychics are sensitive enough to feel the presence of a ghost, you can also determine if there is any paranormal activity by using ghosthunting equipment.
If you are an empath, it is particularly important that you pay attention to your environment and how it makes you feel. You want to spend your time in spaces that give you energy rather than spaces that drain you. If you find that certain colors make you feel better, consider painting the rooms in those colors or buying furniture and wall decorations that feature them.
