How to Perform a Cleansing Ritual
1. Prepare Your Sacred Space
Before you begin, it’s important to tidy up your physical space. Clean the area where you plan to perform the ritual, removing clutter and anything that feels heavy or unwanted. Once the space is physically clean, you’re ready to cleanse the energy.
2. Set Your Intention
Take a moment to set an intention for the cleansing ritual. Ask yourself: What energy do I want to release? What do I want to invite into my space? You might say something like, “I cleanse this space of all negativity and welcome peace, light, and positive energy.”
3. Light the Sage or Palo Santo
Light the end of the sage bundle or Palo Santo stick, allowing it to catch fire. Once it starts burning, gently blow out the flame so it produces a steady stream of smoke. Hold the sage or Palo Santo over a fireproof dish to catch any ashes.
4. Begin the Cleansing
- Cleansing Yourself: Waft the smoke around your body, starting at your head and working your way down to your feet. Make sure the smoke touches all areas of your body to cleanse any negative energy that may have accumulated.
- Cleansing Your Space: Move around the room in a clockwise direction, allowing the smoke to drift into every corner. As you do this, visualize the space filling with light and positivity. Pay special attention to areas that may feel heavy, like doorways, windows, or dark corners.
5. Use Sound for Extra Cleansing (Optional)
Some people like to use sound as an additional cleansing tool. You can ring a bell, use a singing bowl, or clap your hands to break up stagnant energy in the room. The sound will amplify the clearing effect.
6. Seal the Ritual
Once you’ve finished the cleansing, light a white candle to symbolize purity and protection. Let the candle burn for a while, infusing the space with light and peace.
