Have you ever walked into a room and sensed tension or that the vibes were off? Perhaps your energy feels different after spending time with a particular person or in a specific environment.

All beings are made of energy, and just as you regularly cleanse your skin, it’s important to cleanse the energy that’s in your field too. This practice can support your spiritual well-being and fulfillment.

What Is Energy Cleansing?

An energy cleanse is a technique for removing unwanted energy before it affects you. There are countless methods of energy cleansing, from a variety of cultures and for a variety of different needs. Some of the most common and effective methods are listed below, but for personalized support, consider speaking to a psychic expert for support.

In science, the law of conservation states that energy cannot be destroyed or created, only harvested and recycled. From a spiritual perspective, a person’s energy is something innate to the self, deeper than their physical being and connected to their soul’s journey.

As empathetic creatures coexisting in a world together, every person bumps up against and absorbs the energy of other people, places, and things around them. Periodically cleansing your own energy or the energy of your space and personal belongings can help to reset your mood, your drive, and the outside energies you attract.

The Benefits of Cleansing Your Energy

Cleansing your energy is a great way to refocus and refresh. It allows you to remove any excess negativity that might be impacting your day-to-day life. If you’re setting goals for yourself either personally or professionally, it can help to create a clean slate and realign your soul with the energies you want to attract.

If you’re an empath, you may find that you easily absorb other people’s energies, or you may be affected by toxic environments and the grief that befalls the world at large. If you’re feeling the effects of negative energy, there are steps you can take to cleanse your personal aura as well as limit the type of energy you absorb.

Signs You May Need an Energy Cleanse

If you’re feeling drained, stuck, or overwhelmed, it may be a sign that your energy needs cleansing. Mood swings, difficulty focusing, or a heavy emotional weight can also be clues. You might notice increased tension in relationships, restless sleep, or a sense of being energetically “off.” If negativity lingers, situations feel stagnant, or your intuition feels blocked, it’s a good time to clear and realign your energy.

Ways To Cleanse Your Energy

Cleansing energy can be done in several ways. You can cleanse your own energy or you can cleanse the energy of a space. 

If you’re moving into a new home or trying to reset a place after someone with negative energy has left, you may want to engage in a cleansing ritual for that space to create a fresh start. 

You cleanse your energy periodically with the change of the seasons, personal milestones, or moments that feel important to you.

If you have spiritual tools you use in your practices like crystals, cards, jewelry, or altar objects, you can also use energy cleansing rituals to refresh and reset these.

Smoke Cleansing

When used mindfully, respectfully, and carefully, smoke from herbs and wood can be useful to clear an entire space as well as protect the people in it, tangibly changing the energy present.

Pine wood is a great base for removing negativity. Lavender can help create a calming and peaceful space for meditation and relaxation. Cedarwood often invites spiritual clarity and can help you see things that might otherwise have been obscured by negative energy and blockages.

If you want something a little stronger, both dragon’s blood resin and frankincense can be burned in a fire-safe pot over charcoal, creating heavy and fragrant smoke with powerful cleansing properties.

When smoke cleansing, make sure that you are taking safety precautions and sourcing wood and herbs that are harmless for any pets or animals in the household.

Moonlight Cleansing

Another effective way to cleanse objects and small items is to use moonlight and the moon’s cycles. 

Placing items like crystals, trinkets, candles, or other charged items in direct moonlight, either outside or on a windowsill, can recharge and reset them.

The Waning and New Moons are great for removing negativity, creating a blank slate, or washing away the residual energy that might be lingering.

The Waxing and Full Moons amplify release and renewal, making them ideal for clearing stagnant energy, letting go of negativity, and recharging your aura. They support the infusion of fresh, positive energy after a cleanse to attract clarity, balance, and new opportunities.

Bathing Rituals

If you’re looking to cleanse your own energy, one of the best ways to do this is by using herb-infused water, salt water, or moon-charged water. If you can, a ritual bath is the best way to fully submerge yourself in these supportive and cleansing properties. But even just a few drops of charged water, such as some in a spray bottle misted around yourself or others, can cleanse your energy.

Candle Cleansing

You can also do cleansing and protection rituals to protect an entire space with candles. White candles work best, and even better if you use a little bit of essential oil like rosemary, lavender, or patchouli. 

Talismans

Using Tarot cards, religious symbols from your faith, or other symbolic talismans to ward off bad energy can be helpful. Hanging them above doorways is especially useful for cleansing negativity before it can enter your space.

Finding the Right Energy Cleansing Method

There are many ways to consciously and effectively remove toxicity and negativity energy from yourself, your things, and the places you occupy. It’s important to keep in mind that negative energy will be reabsorbed over time, so you’ll need to cleanse regularly in order to maintain protective and positive output.

For help finding the right cleansing method for your life in general or for a specific situation, or for help cleansing your energy from a distance, speak to a vetted psychic expert for support.

It’s a good idea to create weekly, monthly, or quarterly cleansing sessions to keep your energy positive and balanced.
