Our home is a sanctuary, a haven of peace, comfort, and safety. In the world of spiritual and energetic practices, we understand that negative energy can accumulate in spaces over time. These energies can come from various sources, such as negative emotions, tense conversations, toxic people, external influences, or even previous residents.

Fortunately, there are numerous ways to cleanse and protect our homes from these unwanted energies. Here's a comprehensive guide to ensure your home remains a place of inner peace and positivity.

1. Cleansing with Incense:

Using the power of sacred smoke is an ancient practice known across many cultures worldwide. Here are some incenses we recommend:

Palo Santo:

Palo Santo, often called "Holy Wood," is valued for its cleansing properties and ability to bring positive energies. Burning Palo Santo releases its exceptionally fragrant smoke, known to clear negative energy, attract positive vibrations, and bring peace to our space.

Cedar:

Like Palo Santo, Cedar is also a powerful cleanser. Cedar smoke purifies space and attracts good vibrations. It's particularly effective at removing negative energies that arise from conflicts or arguments.

It was historically used to smudge temple doorways to prevent negative energy from entering. You can perform a similar ritual yourself.

White Sage:

White sage is a plant commonly used in spiritual and shamanic traditions for cleansing spaces and people. White sage smoke has the power to repel negative energies, create a protective field around a space or person, and attract positive vibrations.

Smudging with white sage helps establish harmony, peace, and balance in a space, remove energy blockages, and create a sense of purity and freshness.

2. Tourmaline Above Door Frames

Black tourmaline is considered a powerful protective stone and one of our favorite "warriors" against negative energy. Placing tourmaline above your entrance doorframe can act as a shield, preventing negative energies from entering while dispelling existing negative energy.

3. Lemon and Chili at the Entrance

You can also place a lemon or chili at the entrance, as according to ancient traditions, these two plants ward off the 'evil eye' and protect residents from negative energy. Whether you choose to place plants or their fruits at the entrance, this combination will provide good protection for your safe space.

4. Salt Around the House

Salt has been used for millennia as the best means of energy cleansing. Sprinkling salt in the corners of your house or rooms creates a barrier and wall through which heavy energy cannot enter.

Salt absorbs unwanted energy in your vicinity and cleanses the entire environment. If you regularly practice "cleansing" with salt, remember to occasionally replace the salt, especially if you sense it has become too saturated with negativity.

5. Blowing Cinnamon Through Doors:

Cinnamon isn't just a tasty spice for all your culinary pleasures; it also has important spiritual properties.

On the first of each month, blowing cinnamon through your front door will attract abundance and protection. Its aromatic scent also has the added benefit of refreshing your spaces.

Let It (Remain) a Sanctuary of Harmony

For our home to (remain) a sanctuary of positivity, harmony, and peace, we must invest our time and intentions into it.

Whether you're drawn to the aromatic appeal of Palo Santo or the grounding properties of tourmaline, you'll surely find something for yourself in the methods above.
