How to Energetically Cleanse Your Home

Cleansing Your Home With Sage

Congratulations! Now that you’ve recently purchased a home or just moved into your new rental, you might be wondering “How do I cleanse my new space from old energies and bring harmony into my life?” Look no further! I will explain the easiest way to quickly refresh the energies inside your home, specifically using Sage.

Sage has been known to have powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial qualities. It can also improve mood as well as cognition and can even serve as an insect repellent. On a spiritual level, burning sage wards off negativity and toxicity. It clears the slate for more positivity to enter your space.

Steps for Cleansing Your New Home with Sage-

Prepare Your Materials – It is best to create a sense of ceremony when cleansing a new home. Gather your materials – sage, something to light it with, and a heat-proof burning surface like an Abalone Shell or a pan.

Open All Doors and Windows – Before you light your sage, open all doors and windows so the unwanted energy you’re trying to clear has somewhere to go. This is also to keep the smoke from settling in your home.

Light Your Sage – When you’re ready to light your sage, hold your smudge stick at approximately a 45-degree angle. Light your sage, allowing it to burn for about 30 seconds before gently blowing out the flame so it smolders.

Bless Yourself First – This step is key in order to cleanse the home properly. Your aura will need to be cleansed and balanced before doing any kind of spiritual work. Once your smudge stick is smoldering, direct the smoke waves around your body, beginning with your head and working down towards your feet. Breathe deeply while doing this, focusing on cleansing your body of negative energy.

Bless Your Home – You are now ready to begin cleansing your new home. Begin at your front door and move clockwise around your house. Gently wave your smoking smudge stick in the air, focusing additional time on corners. Take care to smudge the interior of your closets and often forgotten spaces like garages and laundry rooms. You want to get smoke into every corner of your house. As you sage, you may wish to say a blessing such as, “I clear away any and all negative and low vibrational energies inside my home. I call in love, happiness and abundance. May this home continue to be filled with beautiful memories and joyful experiences."

Gently Extinguish Your Sage – Returning to where you began and gently put out your smudge stick, either by letting it smolder out or by applying pressure to the tip. Give thanks and gratitude for the gift of your new home and the blessings in your life.
