“Simple” Cleansing Techniques
For some of us, winter is drawing to a close and spring is just around the corner. Now is the time, at least for me, to do THE BIG CLEANSE™. Get into every nook and cranny of my space and remove those stagnant energies like no tomorrow.
Now, there may be some of you who are new to witchcraft, or those who want to start doing more cleansing “rituals”, but may not know where to start. This here is a list of tried and true tips and tricks to the cleansing process I have personally used, and have worked for me!
When cleansing, the things you can do are…
Opening a window to let fresh air in. I know that seems basic, but letting in the outside air will help to flow the stagnant energies out of your space.
Using an essential oil diffuser and using oils that correspond with cleansing. I commonly use sage, lemon, and rosemary, but you may use whatever works best for you.
Making a cleansing spray! Put sage, salt, and water into a spray bottle. When cleansing, spray all the corners of the room you are cleansing.
If you have a salt lamp or selenite lamp, turning them on. Both salt and selenite are vacuums for negative energies, and turning on these lamps “activates” them to do their job.
Programming clear quartz to soak up the negative/stagnant energies. Clear quartz is special in that it has the correspondence of whatever you decide it should have. You can empower the crystal with the ability to capture the energies in your space that you are cleansing! Just make sure you then cleanse the quartz before using it again.
Using visualization to force the bad energies out of your space. Examples of different things to visualize are seeing the energies being blown out and away, or being washed.
Actually cleaning the space you are in. This can not only help you get into a better place mentally to do your spiritual cleanse, but it may also help get the stagnant energies moving around and about.
Hopefully this is helpful to some. Feel free to share any techniques you use in your cleansing process. Until then, Happy Witchcrafting!
