Energetic Hygiene: Aligning Your Mind, Body & Space

Moving into Spring is a great time to CLEANSE!

We see flowers blooming & feel the refreshing energy of new beginnings, and it's natural to want to clear out the old energy ourselves.

It's a wonderful time to let go of what no longer resonates, clearing your energy, your space, your mind, and make space for new energy.

To the energy sensitive, space clearing is a necessity, but it is something that benefits everyone on many levels. Negative energy in our space can begin to affect our own energy... and vice versa. It can cause upheaval physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually.

Don't wait for this time of the year to do it though!

Here are some reasons you may need to clear your energy, home, business or other space -

• Moving in or moving out - Selling, moving into a new rental, etc

• Illness/Death - this includes beloved pets.

• Arguments/Anger/Ill will

• Beginnings/Endings - divorce, new business, etc.

• Feeling stuck, stagnant, scattered, blocked, etc.

• Trauma - this could be yours, someone else's or from the land

• Negative energy from outside sources - neighbour dispute, visitor bringing their heightened emotions/illness/judgement, etc, with them.

• Land & Environment - many of us either don't know what's occured on the land we live & work on or choose to ignore it. Be aware that trauma leaves energetic imprints. Those extra sensitive to energy may find themselves reacting to their natural environment too - underground streams, fault lines, mineral deposits, underground cavities (geopathic stress). Man made structures can also impact your energy.

Cleansing yourself or your space is like an energetic deep clean, designed to remove unwanted energy, in order to raise the vibration and allow more harmonious and positive energy in.

Your space is an extension of your energy...so if you are feeling out of sorts, take a moment to check in - Is it me? Is it someone else? Is it my environment? What happened leading up to me or the space feeling this way?

Energy Cleansing clears your space of negative energy, it creates calm & peace, it invites positive energy and love in. There are many ways to clear your energy & the energy around you. Keep it simple & do it a bit at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed & give up before you’ve finished!

WAYS TO CLEANSE ENERGY -

• SMOKE - white sage & palo santo are the most well known but have you tried something out of your garden or natives you forage on your walks? Try Lavender & Rosemary or Eucalyptus & Tea Tree. Combining the elements of earth, air & fire to clear negative energy.

• SOUND - Frequency & vibration are wonderful for breaking up stuck energy. Bowls, chimes, drums, bells...or just crank up your favourite tunes!

• NATURE - To clear our heads & our energy fields, there is no better way! Ground yourself & ask Mother Earth to take what does not serve you and turn it into compost!

• AIR - Open doors & windows, allow the element of air to flow through your space.

• SALTS & SPRAYS - Epsom salt baths, salt lamps, salt bowls. Research the different salts available for protection and cleansing to see what resonates with your needs. Aura sprays and room cleansing sprays, made with Florida Water, essential oils or botanicals are a great alternative to smoke bundles.

• WATER - Cleanse & purify your energy by having a bath, shower or going for a swim! Drink water. Set the intention for it to wash away negative energy. Set up a simmer pot on your stove with water and cleansing herbs, botanicals & fruits, such as sage, lavender, rosemary, mint, cloves & lemon.

• FIRE - Get that transformational fire burning! Around the fire pit on a full moon, or inside in front of a candle, whatever the set up, fire can release intention into the ether.

• MEDITATION & VISUALISATION- Sit in the centre of your home and visualise the building filled with white light, clearing any stuck or stagnant energy.

• CRYSTALS - Many crystals are natural cleansers - Selenite, Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Black Tourmaline, to name a few. They can be placed on the body or in your space for their many benefits. Gridding is a wonderful way to work on large spaces. Selenite & Black Tourmaline placed in the four corners of your space is a powerhouse duo for cleansing & protection. Be sure to cleanse the crystals regularly so they can continue to do their job properly.

• CLEAR THE CLUTTER - Benches covered in stuff? Cupboards full of unknown items? Wardrobe full of items you haven't worn in years? Clear it out!! There are many who will appreciate those long forgotten, unloved items. That 'stuff' is blockiing energy flow. If it doesn't bring joy, if it isn't something you use regularly, if it's long forgotten and hidden away...it might be time to say goodbye.

• MIND DUMP - Use a journal, a planner, or scrap bits of paper, you can even find mind dump templates online...whatever you want...just offload everything that's on your mind! Scheduling, creative ideas, worries, goals, weekly chores... anything! Don't worry about structure or perfection, don't filter - just let it flow. Then assess - is it a priority? Can it wait? Focus on the most important & let go of anything you else...even if it's only for the moment. Don't stress about the things that don't matter right now.

• MOVEMENT - Walk, Run, Dance, Yoga, Somatics... find what works for you and your body. Get that energy moving through your body.

• CHANTING - Mantras, affirmations, spells, prayers - words have energy and when repeated, in conjunction with another cleansing method, that energy builds. Be sure the words are clear and spoken with love & intention. More on intention below...

• TECHNOLOGY CLEARING- Social media & phone cleanse - go back over old posts, ask if they still resonate with you, or your business. Clear the clutter, just like you would in your home -clear your phone of old contacts, photos, apps etc.

Be sure that the type of energy cleansing you are doing resonates with you and it’s something you truly need, and you aren’t just doing it because you saw it on socials.

The biggest ingredient in energy cleansing is INTENT...

Whatever your preferred method of cleansing, if your INTENTION is not clear, then your ENERGY won’t be either.

Your method - whether it’s smudging,  crystal gridding, or simply deleting old apps - must be done or performed with CLEAR intent -

KNOW -

• Who you want help from (angels, guides, Source)

• What you want your tools to do,

• What you do & don’t want the energy to do,

• What you will or will not allow in your space.

The important thing is to BE CLEAR with your intentions - write it and read it if you need to - make sure you feel comfortable with your ritual and it is done with RESPECT and from the HEART.

If you feel a cleansing isn't enough, or you have tried and feel like it hasn't worked, there are many energy workers that offer different healing, clearing & cleansing services. Remember, often our outer world can reflect our inner, so don't forget to look within too. You, or your space may need something a bit stronger or have an outside source bring awareness to what is happening.

Happy cleansing and I wish you all fresh new energy & flow for the rest of the year!
