What is a Cleansing Ritual?

There has been a boom in the collective spiritual awakening. When you walk the path of spirituality, a word that you would often come across is Cleansing, Grounding and protecting. The initial stages of walking the path of spirituality can sometimes be overwhelming.

What is Cleansing? Why should you do it?

Sleeping on dirty sheets, living in a home that isn't cleaned, vessels unwashed. Doesn't it paint a pretty bad environment to be living in? The exact same way over a period of time you have a lot of energies given out or taken in from the innumerable places you visit or people you meet.

Have you felt drained out sometimes that you just want to stay in bed? Certain days you just feel sad or empty not knowing why. This is your body and mind asking you to stop doing the things you do and give it a rest. Cleansing yourself of energies is a good way to help yourself.

What is cleansing? Cleaning your body, mind and soul or your space of any kind of energy. This helps in cleaning your aura too. Some rituals, prayers, etc. need one to be of a clear body and mind.

Cleansing Rituals

There are many ways of getting rid of unwanted energies. For this you must know the elements a spiritual person works with.

There are four elements (five, since I also consider the Spirit)

• Earth

• Fire

• Wind/Air

• Water

Crystal Cleansing: Use a selenite wand and pass over your body to get rid of negativity. You can use any high charged crystal.

Pendulum Cleansing: Use a pendulum to clear blocks/energies. Hold the pendulum with your dominant hand, hanging above the other hand. Wait until the pendulum stops on it's own to get rid of any stagnant energies.

Candle Cleansing: Light an aromatic candle to help elevate your mood. Meditate in front of the candle as you do this feel the aroma covering your body removing all the negative/bad energies and filling up with the positive flow of energy the aroma lets out.

Smudging: Cleanse your energy or aura using a herb. You can burn sage, rosemary or palo santo to get rid of negative energy.

Light an incense and move it around your body allowing the smoke to envelop your body protecting you from any negative energies.

Ritual Bath: A few drops of essential oil and bath salts in your bath will help clear energies. You can also spritz a little moon water/rose water etc. Spritzing yourself from head to toe with your favourite blessed water.

Divination: Reiki and other divine healing energies are used to cleanse oneself or the space.

Sound Cleansing: Sound vibrates on a frequency. This neutralizes the energy in the environment. You can use a singing bowl, Tibetan bells or any object that resonates with you (your own hands too) to clear a space of energies. I also play different hertz on you tube to cleanse my space.

Easy rituals

• Boil water in a vessel, turn off the stove and add slices of lime. Allow it to cool before transferring to a spritz bottle. You can also keep it in various corners of your house in small containers. This helps ward off the negativity.

• Clearing out the clutter from your space is the best way to get rid of stored up energies.

• Using salt for protection is an old world hack that works well. Dissolve salt in water and clean your space. A little salt in front of your doorway dispels negative energies from coming into your home. You can also use it in a bottle and spray it around your house.

Don't forget to do a cleanse regularly.

Love,
