Spring cleaning usually entails the bigger jobs, like windows and walls and deep cleaning the refrigerator and of course de-cluttering is important too BUT do you every take one extra step to clear the old, stale and perhaps negative energy of your room?

Physical cleaning can definitely help give the energy of your space a boost but when you smudge and your positive intentions you will raise the energy even more.

Notice if you feel tense, fearful, a little lethargic, unmotivated, down or unbalanced then your space may be holding negative energy.

say goodbye to LOW LEVEL EMOTIONS

Arguments, Fear, Anger and Worry carry low level emotions and it's a good idea to let them flow out, transform them to higher vibes like excitement, hope, inspiration, love and joy to name a few.

In this video you will learn how to smudge and clear old or negative energy from your space by first clearing yourself. It's a simple and timeless technique that even beginners can try. And be sure to check in with how you feel in your home before and after you do it.

You can use incense, dried sage, palo santo wood, cedar rope or smudge spray. Always use caution and be sure to fully extinguish any burning embers when you are finished.

HERE’S HOW TO DO IT

Get still, breathe deeply and slowly and set a clear, positive intention before you start and move around the room using a figure eight motion (the infinity symbol) if you like. Experiment with what feels right for you and you will open up to your intuition and check to see how your space feels after using this cleaning tool.

I hope you have fun using this beautiful practise inspired from many traditional cultures around the world.
