Cleansing your Space ~ Setting an intention

It can be so simple to create a beautiful and energetically clear home.
 
A place where the energy is clean and clear, where you are comfortable to be with yourself, to be able to look within connecting with the energy that surrounds you to be inspired to be the creative and authentic self that you are.
 
Cleansing a home can be done in many forms.  It can be a quick ritual or a long ritual.  It can be done by using Incense, Music, Chanting, Movement etc.
 
For this blog post I will walk you through a longer ritual using incense to cleanse.
 
Cleansing the energy of your space and it can make such a difference within the life.
​

​​So here is how to start
 
Grab yourself some incense.  You can use a smudge stick, sweet grass, palo santo or even a few sticks of incenses.
 
So which ever incense you choose light it up, open the windows and let’s get started
 
With your incense smouldering away, move through your home...
 
When performing a deep cleanse, I start from my front entry and walk all the way around the house, along the walls smoking them and
breaking up the energy.

​​As I move around I chant or sing.
 
Nothing in particular, just what comes to mind.
 
You may want to choose or write a special chant that will help increase your intention of cleansing your home or you may want to put some of your favourite music on to sing and dance to that to increase the energy.
 
You may find this can take quite a bit of time, depending on how big your home is, but trust me, it’s worth it.
 
Once you have finished cleansing your whole home, you should also walk around the outside of your home, in your yard, garages, laundry etc, totally cleansing the property. 

​​All done…
 
That’s great….
 
Can you feel the difference in the energy?
 
You can now, if you feel it is needed, walk through the rooms of your home and set an intention.
 
For instance, you can connect to your flow when in your bedroom and visualise and set the intention that you will always have a restful sleep within this room.
 
For the lounge room you may want to set an intention that this is a space where your family gathers to spend quality time together.
 
Within the kitchen you may set an intention that this is the space for nourishing your family, that your cupboard always be full and abundant.

​​The bathroom, you may want to set the intention that when bathe you are also energetically cleansing yourself.
 
It is beautiful and empowering taking responsibility of the energy within your home and making it a powerful and beautiful environment for you and your family.
 
You should cleanse your home on a regular basis.
 
This big cleanse I usually perform around the change of the seasons (or if someone has been ill within the home) however I usually walk through the home with some incense smoking each week freshening up the energy.

So get some incense, put on some music and cleanse your space.
