Methods to change the energy in your home

Clearing energy is a powerful way to reset your surroundings, uplift your mood, and prepare for new beginnings. Whether you’re dealing with lingering negativity, want to set a fresh intention, or are preparing for a full moon ritual, spiritual cleansing can help restore harmony. Here are five effective methods to clear energy spiritually that I use regularly.

1. Burning Sage (Smudging)

Burning sage, also known as smudging, is a traditional practice used to cleanse spaces, objects, and even your own energy. Light a bundle of dried white sage and allow the smoke to waft through the air. As you move through your space, focus on areas that feel heavy or stagnant. Open windows to let negative energy exit, and set an intention for positive energy to fill the room.

Visualization is an important part of this process and arguably, sage combined with visualization is the most powerful way to cleanse. I call it the deep steam cleaning of energy clearer.

I picture negative energy being drawn into the smoke, instantly dissipating. I have personally seen this impact houses that won’t sell. There is an energy in there that buyers don’t respond to. Then, after a good sage session offers come in to the seller in a matter of hours or 2-3 days!

2. Using a Tuning Fork

Sound is a powerful tool for clearing energy. A tuning fork produces a pure tone that can break up negative vibrations. Strike the fork and allow its sound waves to resonate throughout your space. This is especially helpful for removing energetic blocks and restoring balance in both your environment and personal energy field.

I use this after I do a weekly cleaning and at night after I finish washing up the dishes.

3. Salt or Herbal Bathing

A cleansing bath is a nurturing way to release negativity and refresh your energy. Add sea salt, Epsom salt, or herbs like lavender and rosemary to your bathwater. As you soak, visualize stress and negativity washing away. This practice is especially beneficial before a full moon, helping you align with its energy of release and renewal.

I have a whole post on how to create an effective full moon bathing ritual. Cleansing the body to prime it for the full moon intentions is an important step of the process.

4. Selenite Wands for Aura Cleansing

Selenite is known for its high-vibrational energy and its ability to cleanse and recharge other crystals. To clear your aura, gently wave a selenite wand around your body, focusing on areas that feel tense or blocked. Don’t forget the bottoms of your feet and over the top of your head.

You can also place selenite in your home to maintain a clean and peaceful atmosphere.

Bonus Tip: Crystal Support

Along with selenite, crystals like black tourmaline, clear quartz, and amethyst can support your energy-clearing rituals. Use them during meditation or place them around your home for ongoing energetic protection.

5. Singing bowls sound therapy

Keeping a small singing bowl where you can use it regularly is another way to clear energy fast. This is nice when it’s dinner time, your family is gathering with their collective energies brought in from their day and it can feel chaotic. Using a singing bowl or tuning fork will instantly destabilize that energy and create more calm before you sit down to eat.

When using a small bowl that fits in your hand, be sure to prop it up on it’s donut-style pillow so your hand does not absorb the sound. The gentle waves of sound should flow away from the bowl into the room, neutralizing the energy quickly.

I use this one you can find it on Amazon.

Regularly practicing these methods will help you maintain a balanced and peaceful energy field. As the full moon approaches, consider incorporating one or more of these practices to release what no longer serves you and invite in positive energy.

These methods can also be used to clear your crystals before charging them in the Full Moon. Just bed careful with water as some crystals are water soluble (selenite is one of them) so it’s best to stick with sage, sound and selenite to clear your crystals.
