Tarot: Unlocking divine messages; spiritual significance of angel numbers revealed

CHENNAI: Many believe they are affected by negativity. How does one protect to ensure these energies bounce off and go back to anyone sending them? Here are simple remedies. It is unlikely to harm anyone but ensures you are protected.

Take a black candle, carve your name and date of birth on it and place it on a plate. Surround the candle with pink salt. Then cut a lemon into four pieces, place it around a plate and light the candle. Just set the intention while lighting that all negativity is getting released into the candle. Watch and wait until the candle burns out fully. Try to do it on a Tuesday or Saturday.

Bathe in lime juice every day for 48 days. Collect the ashes of an agarbatti/dhoop, mix an equal proportion of rock salt and keep it. Every day when you come from outside, rotate some of it on your head and flush it.

Add some rock salt once a week in your floor-mopping water.
