spiritual cleansing

 Hello everyone and welcome back to another blog :) Thank you for being here ! I'm excited to bring you guys today's blog because it was actually requested by a couple of people on my Instagram. A few days ago I asked you guys on my story for some blog ideas, and a few of you said "How can we cleanse our homes?" "How can we cleanse ourselves"? I'm here to give you the easiest ways to do so, and where you can grab these items. 



First of all, spiritual cleansing can be looked at in a variety of ways. The reason I love Spirituality so much is because unlike religious rules, it's more about intuition, what you feel inside, what your gut is saying to you, and it's about Intention . Anyone can perform magic, anyone can cast spells, you can use anything you find at home whether it be candles, or herbs from your kitchen. It's all about your intention when doing so . Does having certain herbs help ? Yes. Do certain candles help ? Yes. But this isn't about lighting a candle that says "protection" and hoping for the best. It's about the intention set while doing so, the prayer said, the manifestation , and whatever little piece of flair you'd like to throw in there because you are intuitively guided to do so. 

Ok, I'm getting off track, back to the cleansing part. 
Spiritual cleansing can be as easy as taking a yoga class to help you focus on your breath and body more. Maybe the reason you feel heavy and need a cleanse is because you truly haven't taken time for yourself, to breathe, and to just be still . Stagnant/Stuck energy NEEDS to move out of your body, which can as well , be cleansing your spirit, But for today's post, and because I think you guys were mostly  talking about baths and the use of sage, I'll keep it in that topic. 

One way to do a spiritual cleanse, is by taking a bath. Why? Because water purifies. 
Water absorbs and carries away the negative energy stuck in your spiritual body. 
For a nice and relaxing cleansing bath , you'll need some epsom salt , or sea salt (again, intention. always remember the intention you're setting), some essential oils (optional), some dry herbs or flowers (optional) , and maybe even some crystals ! Find a crystal that speaks to you and you can add that to the bath or even let it sit near you on the edge of the tub. Light some candles, say a prayer of intent, and enjoy. 

The essential oils I use frequently can be found here on Amazon , check out my amazon store front.

Best essential oils for a spiritual cleanse: 

• Frankincense for protection and elevating the spiritual self 
• Lavender for emotional balance 
• Rosewater for self-love and compassion 
• Rosemary for protection and healing

If you need to do a little crystal shopping as well, here ya go :) thank me later . www.sacredmob.com/earth.html#/


Another way to cleanse, is of course, Smudge Sticks. Imagine smudging as a spiritual "smoke bath". 
Light the end while holding the opposite end, and just wave it around yourself and your home :) easy peasy. If you're going to use sage AND palo Santo, sage first and then palo Santo. 
You can find smudge sticks like these at www.sacredmob.com/fire.html#/

And the last one is a visual cleanse , which is absolutely free and you can do this anywhere, at any time. 
Sometimes, you just need a quick relief and to center yourself. This is where a 5-minute visualization technique can help 

1. Take 3-5 slow, deep breaths to center yourself. 
2. Imagine a bright white light coming down from above and entering your body through the crown of your head.
3. Envision the light slowly traveling down each part of your body, pushing out the negative energies from every corner of your being.
4. As the light reaches the soles of your feet it exits your body and carries all the negative energies away.  
5. Take a few more relaxing breaths to come back into your physical reality, and get on with your day.

The color white symbolizes new beginnings and fresh starts. Not to mention, in the physical world, the color white represents cleanliness.
On the energies level, the color white carries within it purity, light, and goodness.
Visualizing a white light clearing out the negative energies in you is highly effective. Your subconscious mind, as well as, your subtle body recognize those positive properties and, as a result, act accordingly. 

That's all I got for today, I hope you all enjoyed this. If you did, make sure to leave a comment and let me know :) Have a fabulous week! 

love,
