Energy Cleanse

Some things to think about before we begin.

1. Everything in creation is energy.

2. Energy impacts an environment, for good or bad.

3. You are part of everything. Like ripples in the water,
one part affects all other parts.
4. Everything has consciousness.
5. Like attracts like.
6. Cleansing heals.

From the above, you should be able to understand the importance

of cleansing the energy fields that make up you and your environment.

Although we might not always be able to sense an energy imbalance;

we are nevertheless affected by it. Some areas/buildings feel comfortable to us,

while others may make us feel edgy, depressed or anxious to get out.

After there has been a heated argument in a room, the atmosphere may feel heavy

and dismal. You may even begin to feel irritable yourself. This negative energy,

if allowed to exist and even grow (like attracts like), can adversely affect

all the inhabitants in that area.  In your house, it can even make you, your family,

your pets and your plants sick. It will actually make your house sick.

Animals are especially vulnerable as they act as buffers for us,

and will absorb this negativity until they get physically sick.

When we cleanse, we're replacing undesirable energy (aka negativity)

with desirable or positive energy. Anything can be cleansed and probably

should be from time to time.  Your car, house, yard, farm, things, your aura.

Anything.  If you do a cleansing ritual or procedure with anger or fear

of the negativity you are trying to release, you will only exchange one kind of

negativity for another. You gain nothing.  Always enter into any cleansing process

with an attitude of love.  Negative energy is not bad or evil; it is simply energy

that does not sustain you.  Nothing is inherently evil ---

it is our judgement of it that labels something good or bad.

Now for a method. I will discuss one of the ones I use for

I can speak from experience on these, although there are many other

methods to achieve the same end. Use what works for you.  

Smudging (passing through smoke,) is an ancient method of cleansing

that works quite well.  I've used it to cleanse my house, and it's very good for

smaller items and for cleansing your aura.

When smudging a room, work in one direction, spiraling to the center.

Which direction you use is up to you - try both.

Counter clockwise is usually considered banishing; clockwise is invoking.

I usually use Ceremonial White Sage, but garden sage works equally well.

Pinon Pine, if you can get it, is super. Pine, of any kind, is generally

thought to bring in desirable positive energy; while the sages are more for

banishing the negative. Both can be used during the same smudging ritual.

You can use powdered sage or  pine on charcoal, or a smudge stick.

I prefer a small wad of the leaves. Carry a heatproof container (ashtray) in your left hand;

the smudge in your right. For a room, try to start near, but not in front of the door,

sweeping the smoke into all corners; up to the ceiling and down to the floor.

If you use leaves or a smudge stick, knock the ashes off often,

so you won't catch anything on fire. It's a good idea to keep a container

of water close by, just in case.

Repeat the following, if you wish, during the smudging:

"I call forth all of my angels and guides, 

and ask for assistance in cleansing this space.

May all energies be transmuted for the 

good of all who enter this space.

May this area be protected from all 

lower vibrations, thought forms, and emotions.

I call upon Archangel Michael to protect this space 

from negativity and attack; Archangel Raphael 

for the healing of all who enter this space;

Archangel Zadkiel to uphold peace, freedom, 

and forgiveness in this space; upon Archangel Gabriel 

to bring good news and hope; and 
upon Archangel Uriel to bring harmony 
and balance to this space as-well-as all 
miracles needed now. I thank you all for 
your divine assistance and blessings". 
So Be It!

Continue till every inch of the area has been touched by the smoke
and you feel that you're done.  As with any magical rite, intent and visualization
are important.  Visualizing the movement of energy adds a lot of
power to the cleansing procedure.
