Spiritual Cleansing

Spiritual cleansing has been about in many forms over the years, from Christian cleansing where “sinners” were washed of their sins, to Wiccan cleansing rituals and spells, Native American and Shamanic customs amongst many other types. In more recent times, spiritual cleansing is becoming ever more popular and is not just practiced by professional healers and spiritual workers but by individuals who wish to take advantage of the benefits of spiritual cleansing without having to employ a trained practitioner.

What is a Spiritual Cleansing?

Everything is made up of energy, from lower vibration, dense energy to high vibration lighter energies. Even seemingly solid objects are made up of a mass of energy particles on a molecular level, vibrating at different frequencies. Each day people encounter various forms of energy, in the spaces they inhabit, from interactions with other people and from objects in their environment. As humans are also energetic beings, they interact with the energy that is encountered in their environment as well as the energy generated from within through thoughts and emotions. Through these interactions, lower vibration energy can become stuck within the energy field creating energetic blocks that can manifest as negative emotions or circumstances and even over time as physical illness if not cleared.

Spiritual cleansing transmutes unwanted or lower vibration energies within a person’s aura or within a space such as a home or office. The benefit of a spiritual cleanse is that it can help to maintain positive energy and clear negativity that can be causing problems or holding a person back mentally, emotionally or spiritually. It can also help to release stuck energy within the body that can be the source of illness or physical ailments.

Does Spiritual Cleansing Work?

From a scientific point of view there have been many experiments on the effects of energy on substances or matter. One of the most notable being the work carried out by Japanese doctor of alternative medicine Dr. Masaru Emoto on the effects of human consciousness on water and how intent can change the molecular structure of the water; positive thoughts and intentions creating beautiful patterns and forms and negative thoughts creating misshapen structures in the water. Equally, the energy in and around people is affected by their thoughts and actions in a positive or negative manner. For example, the energy in a room after an argument can be felt as being heavy and negative. This can be effectively cleared and lifted through simple spiritual cleansing techniques.

Who can do Spiritual Cleansing?

As mentioned, spiritual cleansing can be done by the individual or by a professional such as an energy healer. If in doubt as to the best method, it’s probably best to get advice from a professional working in this area.

How to Spiritually Cleanse Yourself

There are three steps or stages involved in how to cleanse your spirit. Firstly is the desire to perform a spiritual cleansing. Setting intentions as to what needs to be cleansed is an important part of the process. Spiritual cleansing can be done on behalf of another person without their consent but the effect is far improved when the person takes an active role in the cleansing process. Some people may wish to cleanse away low vibration energy, others may want to cleanse energy from a specific situation or person, for example, after an argument or after meeting someone that is very negative, or it may be desired just to clear any energy within the aura that no longer serves the individual.

Whatever the motive to perform a spiritual cleansing, once the intention is set, the next stage is to be willing to let go of the energy, person or situation. Many people perform spiritual cleansing rituals without really being ready to let go of the issue in question. The ritual may still be effective in clearing some of the energy but in order to fully benefit from a spiritual cleansing, allowing the energy to be released is key. This may take some time to get into the right frame of mind in order to be happy to let go of something or someone that needs to be released energetically. In this sense, becoming still and meditating before the spiritual cleansing can be beneficial.

The third step in the process is to perform the cleansing using a spiritual cleansing technique. There are many spiritual cleansing rituals used for this purpose and finding one that suits the individual is essential. Let’s take a look at a few techniques.

1. Spiritual Cleansing Baths

A spiritual cleanse bath is a popular and indulgent spiritual cleansing ritual. The individual immerses themselves in a spiritual cleansing bath of salts, coupled with other ingredients such as essential oils or herbs, depending on the desired result. Using spiritual cleansing candles to improve the atmosphere and the effects of the ritual can enhance the bathing experience.

2. Spiritual Cleansing Diet

This technique requires a change in lifestyle but is a very effective spiritual cleansing method. Toxic foods and drinks are eliminated from the diet such as alcohol, processed foods and food containing toxic ingredients such as additives, food coloring, saturated fats, chemicals and GMOs amongst many others. These toxins interfere with the healthy energetic balance of the body. Removing them and replacing these foods with fresh organic ingredients is a huge step towards maintaining a healthy energy system.

3. Spiritual Cleansing with Eggs

This is a more unusual spiritual cleansing ritual that uses eggs to cleanse the energy system. An egg is rolled over the body (often performed with the help of a root doctor), in order to cleanse the energy field. Afterwards the egg is either disposed of in a safe manner so as not to release the negative energy that it has accumulated, or broken open and examined to determine the source of the persons complaint as well as the effectiveness of the cleansing.

4. Spiritual Cleansing Prayer

Spiritual cleansing prayers are another effective and simple spiritual cleansing technique. Before reciting the prayer, the space is usually prepared by lighting spiritual cleansing candles or incense and often help is requested through invoking angels or spirit guides to assist. The prayer can be read aloud or stated internally in the mind. After the prayer is said, a period of stillness is useful to allow the energy to fully clear. It is also beneficial to finish the ritual by protecting the aura through psychic protection or by reciting another prayer of protection.

Spiritual Cleansing of a Home

In addition to personal spiritual cleansing, it is advisable to regularly cleanse the spaces that are most frequently occupied such as the home, office, car and even objects that are regularly used. This ensures that after performing a personal spiritual cleansing, heavy energies are not then picked up again by being in a negatively charged space. Some of the methods detailed above can also be used for spiritual house cleansing or space clearance such as a spiritual cleansing prayer.

Another popular ritual is to use spiritual cleansing herbs such as sage, which is well known for its effective cleansing properties. Sage smudging is a method of burning a smudge stick consisting of dried sage leaves and sometimes containing other herbs, and allowing the stick to smolder or smoke. The smoke is then wafted around the house or car or object to be cleared, setting the intention that heavy energy is transmuted and the space is filled with positive energy. Some practitioners will recommend walking around the house with the smoldering smudge stick in a specific way, opening all the windows and starting at the front door, moving from room to room, starting with doorways and moving to the right along walls. In this way, all areas are reached and cleansed. The ritual can be finished by performing a personal sage shower, waving the smoke around the body with the intention of cleansing the aura.

As with personal hygiene, spiritual cleansing is best performed on a regular basis in order to maintain a state of energetic balance and flow. Just as one would not leave a gap of six months or longer between showering, spiritual cleansing is most effective when performed regularly, on a daily or even weekly basis.
