Cleansing and Protecting

Cleansing and protecting my home, my spirit, my mind, is something I do as often as possible.

Every Full Moon and New Moon, I cleanse with sage, moon light, moon water and intention setting. It is important to rid myself of toxicity, negative energy and thoughts, and to be able to manifest, set intentions for the future, and to start a new.

On a Full Moon, I charge and cleanse my crystals with either sage or with putting them outside in the moon light and fresh air. I clean my house and use the sage to cleanse my home, opening all the windows to allow any negativity, or things not for me, to move on. I set intentions of health and protection.

On a New Moon, I cleanse with palo santo and set intentions of starting a new, goals for the future, love and wealth. I use this time to focus on self-care and to manifest all the things I am wanting accomplish for the next month. Setting goals is important for my growth.

It is important to allow your energy to thrive. To allow your mind to be cleared. To allow the space you live in to be a breath of fresh air. In order to do this, the toxicity has to be cleared. You have to have room to growth and vibe higher.

Negative energy can hold on so tight and create anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm and anger and force a person to stay in the same space versus growing and moving forward. No one wants to stay in the same space forever.

When I sage or use palo santo, I start at the highest point of my home, in the left corner and allow the smoke to cleanse and clear the air. Moving down a level at a time until I reach my front door. Sage also is a natural antibacterial for toxins in the air. I spew my intentions and the things I want to let go of and things I want to achieve. I cleanse crystals as I pass them, and allow the fresh air to grasp that energy and remove it. I normally leave the windows open for about thirty extra minutes after I am done. I also allow the sage or palo santo to burn out on its own.

Cleansing and protecting my home includes setting intentions and manifesting with crystals, also.

When I first get a crystal, I run it through cold water. This is best to do in a stream of water or in the rain but your faucet will work just fine. Never use soap. I, then, charge them in the moon air and meditate what I need and want from the crystals. This is also very therapeutic.

At the front entrance of my home sits an amethyst and tourmaline to protect any bad energy from coming in. I also have a broom hanging above the door.

There are so many ways to cleanse and protect your home, yourself, your loved ones, your things, your space. I did research and chose what was comfortable and what worked for me. I have a deep feeling of relief after cleansing and protecting, which allows me to be at peace with the way I do things for my lifestyle.

Do your research and choose what is best for you. A lot of people will tell you you are doing it wrong or to do it their way but do what works for you, what makes you feel at peace and calm, what makes you feel good and heals your energy.

Happyy cleansing and high vibe protecting!
