House Clearings

Spiritual house clearing, also known as energetic cleansing, is a practice aimed at removing negative energies and promoting a harmonious environment within your living space. Just as we physically clean our homes, it’s essential to address the spiritual aspect as well.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to perform a spiritual house cleansing:

Smoke-Cleansing with Herbs:

One popular method is smoke-cleansing using bundles of herbs. Common herbs for this ritual include sage, palo santo, cedar, rosemary, lavender, rose, and juniper.
Open a few windows or the back door to allow energy to escape—it needs somewhere to go!
Start at your front door with a lit incense stick or herb bundle in hand.
Allow the smoke to fill each room while saying, “I cleanse this home with smoke. All negativity must go away; only positive energy can stay.”
Move in a counter-clockwise direction from room to room, continuing to let the smoke purify the space.

Setting Intentions:

As you move through your home, set clear intentions. Visualise negative energy dissipating and positive energy filling the space.
You can also use affirmations or prayers that resonate with you.

Salt Cleansing:

Sprinkle salt (sea salt or Himalayan salt) around the perimeter of each room or at the entrances.

Salt is believed to absorb negative energy and protect the space.

Sound Cleansing:

Use sound vibrations to clear energy. You can use singing bowls, bells, or even clap your hands loudly in each room. The sound disrupts stagnant energy and creates a fresh energetic flow.

Crystals and Stones:

Place protective crystals or stones around your home. Black tourmaline, selenite, and clear quartz are excellent choices. These stones absorb negativity and promote positive energy.

Visualise Light:

Imagine a bright, white light filling every corner of your home.
Visualise this light dispelling any darkness or heaviness.

Regular Maintenance:

Perform a house cleansing regularly—especially during significant life events, after moving, or if you’ve experienced negative energy.
Consider doing it during the waning or new moon for added potency.

Remember that spiritual house cleansing is about intention and connection. Trust your intuition and adapt these practices to what feels right for you and your home.
