Spring-cleaning isn't just limited to decluttering our physical space but also cutting off negative energy that no longer serves our highest purpose. Energetic cleansing helps remove stagnant energy, invites positive vibes, and aligns your home with the fresh energy of the season. Here are five powerful ways to energetically cleanse your space for spring.
Before getting into it, you must set your intention and speak positivity into the changes you will make. With Manifest , you can vent your thoughts (whether positive or negative) and, in return, receive custom affirmations to elevate your vibe. Make sure to clear your head and find peace before making significant, energetic changes.
1. Burn Palo Santo or Other Aromatics One of the most well-known methods for clearing negative energy is smudging with sage or palo santo. Light a stick of Palo Santo and allow the smoke to waft through each room, paying special attention to corners and doorways. As you do this, set an intention, such as, “I release all stagnant energy and invite in love, joy, and renewal.”
It’s important to note that there are ethical ways to purchase and use various cleansing aromatics. Given the ecological impacts, it is best to not use white sage unless it has been gifted and to avoid buying it. We highly recommend visiting your local native community and sourcing your Palo Santo directly.
If you are unable to ethically source these energetic cleaners, we recommend Sagebrush, Garden Sage, Rosemary , Bay Leaves, Lavender, Mint, Lemon Balm, Wormwood, Mugwort, Juniper, Cedar, Pine, and Tulsi. These will all have the same impact on your cleansing experience while respecting the environment.
2. Sprinkle Herbs Around Your Windows and Doors There are countless ways to utilize herbs in your spiritual practice. Each herb and its placement has a different intention, so it’s always best to find one suited to your specific desires. One that works for everyone that I am sure you have in your spice cabinet is cinnamon. Cinnamon is a great herb for manifesting abundance.
On the first of every month, bring your cinnamon to your front door. Take a few deep breaths and try to visualize abundance entering your life and home. Once you hold onto this image, sprinkle the cinnamon in a line on your entryway. The most powerful way to amplify this intention is to repeat an affirmation out loud. Try saying, “I welcome abundance into my home and life.” If this affirmation doesn’t resonate with you, have Manifest generate a custom abundance affirmation for you.
3. Use Sound to Shift the Energy Each sound carries a different energetic purpose. There is a vibration for love, another for abundance, and another for health. We recommend setting an intention on how you want the energy in your life to shift. Once you’ve decided, if you search “vibration for [x]” purpose, you will learn what frequency your desire is.
YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music all have endless playlists for elevating your vibe using frequencies. If you are feeling lost and are unsure of where to start, here is a great video with the intention of attracting abundance.
4. Incorporate Crystals for Protection and Clarity Crystals can help balance and cleanse the energy of your home. Black tourmaline and obsidian absorb negative energy, while selenite and clear quartz help purify and uplift. Place these crystals near doorways, windows, or common living areas to maintain a harmonious and protected environment.
Every crystal has a different purpose. Once you have properly cleansed your space of any stagnant vibes, we recommend using crystals specific to your desire. If you are looking to spice up your weekends, we’ve even put together a list of the best crystals to help you attract love at your local bar.
5. Set Intentions and Visualize Light Cleansing Your Space Intention is a powerful tool in energy work. As you cleanse your space, take a moment to visualize a bright, white, or golden light filling your home, dissolving any heavy or stagnant energy. You can also set intentions for what energy you want to welcome—peace, creativity, love, or abundance.
Intentions are most powerful when you set them with a clear mind and an open heart. One of the best ways to achieve this is through meditation, especially when a meditation resonates with you. Daydream provides custom meditations to support you throughout your spiritual journey. Try listening to one before setting your intentions for the best effect.
Final Thoughts Spring is the perfect time to refresh not just your physical surroundings but also the energy of your space. By incorporating these energetic cleansing techniques, you’ll create a home environment that feels lighter, brighter, and more aligned with the fresh start that spring brings. Take a deep breath, embrace the change, and invite in all this season’s beautiful energy!
