🌌 A Ritual to Thoroughly Cleanse Your Living Space
Note: This ritual is a bit more extensive than what I usually post. That being said, I just cleansed my apartment with this ritual the other day, and I haven't felt this good in months. So, hopefully it will help someone else out, too! Or at least give you guys a fun read if nothing else.
This ritual takes advantage of a couple different types of magic, such as smoke magic and sound magic, as well as heavy visualization, so I'll be explaining some of the details as we go!
You will need:
A small bell (cheap substitute discussed below)
An incense (non-smoke substitute discussed below)
At least one window you can open

STEP ONE: Wake the spirits in the walls
Obtain a bell. If you don't have a bell, you can also use a bowl or glass. Strike the bowl/glass with a knife to create a ringing sound for this step.
Begin in the eastern wall/corner of your house, and begin ringing the bell. State confidently:
"May the ringing of this bell wake the spirits within the walls of my home."
Continue chanting that intention and ringing your bell, and walk through each room of your house/apartment/living space. The goal here is to expose ("wake up") all of the dormant energies that have found their way into your space.

STEP TWO: Pull out the negative energies with smoke
Return to the spot in your house where you began. Put down the bell, and now pick up some incense. Light the incense, and call to the spirits within the smoke. Ask them confidently:
"Spirits of Air, Spirits of Smoke,
May your tendrils reach into every corner and crevice of my home. Seek out each and every energy which disrupts my peace. Wrap the tendrils of your smoke around them, and pull them from their hiding places.
Find them in the walls, and pull them out.
Find them in the floors, and pull them out.
Find them in the corners, and pull them out.
Find them in the ceiling, and pull them out."
Repeat this chant as you again walk through each room of your house. Try to get the smoke to touch every corner in every room, including closet spaces.
Note: If you can't burn incense in your living space, you can also complete this step using a spray bottle and some water.
Instead of asking the spirits of air to seek out the negative energies in your home and expose them, ask the spirits of water to do it instead. Modify the chant that I have provided to accommodate for the water spirits, and use the spray bottle to spritz water onto the floors, walls, ceiling, and corners in each room.

STEP THREE: Expel the negative energies
Now that you've exposed the negative energies within your living space using the bell and the smoke/water, it's time to expel them from your home.
This particular step is very heavy in visualization and energy work, so you may want to center or ground yourself before you undertake this task.
Return once more to the spot where you began. Hold your hands together in front of you with your palms touching, such as in a prayer position. Build up as much energy as possible within your hands. It helps some people to rub your hands together vigorously to generate friction during this process.
If visualization helps you, imagine the energy within your body flowing down your arms and into your palms. Collect this energy into a ball of light that you hold between your hands. If it helps you to associate colors with energy, visualize the ball of light between your palms as either gold, silver, or white.
State confidently:
"I expel the energies within my home which disrupt my peace.
I expel you.
I expel you.
I expel you."
When you finish the chant, clap your hands together as hard as you can. Visualize the energy you've stored in your hands being released as a shockwave. Imagine the shockwave of energy spreading throughout the room and driving away all negative energies.
Repeat this process in each room of your house. Build up as much energy as possible in your hands, state the chant confidently, and clap your hands to release the energy and drive out the negative energies within the room.

STEP FOUR: Ventilate your home
Open as many windows in your home as possible. Then, go to the front door of your home and open it. While standing in the doorway, invite the spirits of the wind into your home. Ask them to carry away anything disruptive which may be lingering inside. Once you've called them in, you may then shut your front door if you wish.
Allow the windows to remain open until all of the incense smoke within your home has been blown outside.
Note: If you substituted water for smoke in the spell, you may have to ventilate your home for a bit longer. Try to keep the windows open until all the water you've sprayed has evaporated.

Like I said, this one is a bit more extensive and very eclectic in design. I've used it almost every time I've moved into a new place, though, and it's never failed me once. I hope you guys enjoyed!
Brightest blessings, and best of luck 🕉
