Every now and then it is important to do an energy cleansing to refresh your vibe, ja feel? In this post, learn about spiritual energy and how to cleanse negative energies from yourself and your space.

Energy In Spirituality

To understand energy cleansing you must know what spiritual energy is. The energy in spirituality refers to the belief in an interpersonal and non-physical force or essence. This force is known as a spiritual energy, it is something felt differently by each individual. Spiritual energy is based on the idea that everything in the universe is made up of energy. From this viewpoint, human beings are also made up of energy. As we are made up of energy the idea also states that like attracts like, exactly like the energy described in science. For example, negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. So, when you are genuinely positive you attract and manifest positive spiritual energy. Vise Versa when you are negative.

Basically, spiritual energy is the ‘vibe’ you feel. We all get vibes from people and places…that is energy. For example, when you are around an ungrateful ass person you feel a negative “vibe” that is negative energy. Even after you leave that shitty person or place you may still feel that ‘vibe’…that is negative energy that has clung on to you. Negative energy can even cling to us when we aren’t around shitty people or places. You know that “off” feeling we sometimes get that is almost unexplainable? Yeah, that is negative energy and you want to kick that shit out real quick!

A great way to rid yourself and your space of this shitty feeling is to cleanse. This type of cleansing involves using cleansing-type energy to balance and renew.

Types of Energy Cleansing

Smudging

The term smudging refers to burning herbs and plants. The idea is that the smoke from the herbs and plants attaches itself to negative energy. As the smoke clears it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another space where it will be regenerated into positive energy.

How To Smudge

First, choose which herb or plant you want to burn. Sage, palo santo, lavender and rosemary are most commonly used for smudging.

Sage clears all energy, negative and positive which creates a clean slate to fill with positive energy and intentions.

Palo Santo is wonderful for purifying and bringing in positive thoughts, energies, and intentions. Tip: Perfect to use to renew positivity after a sage cleansing.

Lavender is best used for psychic protection, happiness, healing, and tranquility.

Rosemary is a powerful cleanser for your home and aura.

Next, lite an end on fire of your chosen herb(s). Let it smoke while either surrounding yourself with the smoke or letting the smoke drift into every nook and cranny of the space you are cleansing.

Lastly, allow the herb or plant to smoke out on its own. Once it has accomplished its intended task the smoke will cease on its own.

Crystals

Crystals hold powerful energy that is known to heal. What many people do not know is that crystals can also cleanse by absorbing negative energy.

Obsidian cleanses and clears which transmutes negative energy returning it to the original source.

Smokey quartz and black tourmaline provide a shield to protect from negativity breaking through.

Azurite helps clear the mind of negative thought patterns.

Simply, carry the chosen crystal with you or place it around your home or space. Using crystals to cleanse is by far the easiest method.

Resins

Resin is a flammable natural organic substance that is sourced from plants. When burned, resins emit a holy smoke and beautiful fragrance that is known to clear negative energies. Resins also help us connect with our higher consciousness and surrounds us with high vibrations.

Dragon’s Blood is used for protection and to clear negativity.

Copal can be used for spiritual cleansing along with creating a connection to spiritual realms.

Frankincense is used for protection, purification, spiritual awareness, and antidepressant.

How To Burn Resins

First, place about 2” of ash, sand or salt in a fireproof dish ( cauldron, abalone shell, etc).

Next, with metal tongs light a piece of charcoal until you see sparks.

Then, place the charcoal (concave side-up) on top of the ash, sand or salt. Remember to leave the edges exposed for air to flow around the charcoal.

Allow the charcoal to sit for 3-5 minutes until it glows red with heat. Sprinkle a small amount of resin in the indention. ¼ to ½ teaspoon is enough, as more may smother the charcoal.

Lastly, enjoy the aroma and smoke of the burning resin. Feel free to add more resin as the smoke thins out.

Tip: The charcoal will remain hot for up to 60 minutes. Do not discard for at least 2 hours to allow proper cooling time

How Often Can I Cleanse?

You can cleanse as often as you need; daily, weekly, or monthly. Be mindful of your energy to cleanse as needed.
