In the same way that we need to bathe daily to cleanse ourselves, it is also necessary to clean our house physically. And just as we need to keep our energy high, our home also needs the same care. This is where the need for periodic energy cleaning in our homes comes in.
Our home requires the same care that we take care of ourselves and our energy!
So, before understanding how to clean your home's energies, you need to understand that the spaces around us can be considered living beings energetically, just as we are. All things are composed of energy. Everything is energy, we are energy, our things and our home too. We are not separated from the world around us. All things have perception and vibration just like people and animals. It seems like a very abstract thing, but it is important to know that the house is also an evolving being.
According to Feng Shui, when you clean your house you are also cleaning your life, because your house is your reflection, changing the energy of your home, you are changing your own energy.
Therefore, any cleaning technique you use in your home will be influencing the energy fields of it and its residents / regulars. Anything you do to positively alter the energy in your home will be improving your own contact with universal energy.
To try to illustrate the importance of cleaning, let's compare it again to our daily cleaning and purification process, which is the bath! Do we not have to bathe every day to cleanse and purify ourselves of everything that has impregnated our physical body?
Why would our house be any different?
She also needs physical and energetic cleansing to also feel invigorated and willing to welcome and shelter us in the best way every day.
What is Energy Cleaning?
Doing an energetic cleaning in your home can help improve your mood, as well as inspire positive feelings in all residents. It is always good to keep our energy field clean and free from low and negative vibrations. Performing an energy cleaning is a job of transmuting energy from the environment, that is, it is a process to transform negative energies into positive ones, capable of properly balancing all the energy fields to which we are inserted or connected.
Thus, any activity that allows you to remove unwanted or negative energy can be considered as an energy cleaning practice or technique, as it will create space and harmony in the physical and energetic bodies.
It is important to cleanse the energies of our aura (personal energy field) and the places where we live. Performing an energy cleaning eliminates imbalances, low vibrations, dysfunctions in the energy fields and also relieves discomfort when these dysfunctions have already manifested physically.
Energy Cleaning x Feng Shui
The goal of Feng Shui is to restore the energy balance of people and also of the places where they live ... Feng Shui also aims to create a good flow of energy in all homes. There is a relationship between the energy of our homes and our lives, therefore, by ensuring a good flow of energy in our environments it is possible to guarantee a good flow in our lives, to have a fluid and leads life, and thus improve our lives in all the aspects (relationships, financial, health, career ...).
Energy cleansing contributes to restoring the good energies of our body and our environments, and therefore, energy cleansing is closely linked to Feng Shui, since, in both energy cleansing and Feng Shui, good energies are the targets of these practices. …
Applying Feng Shui to your spaces is a way to promote energy cleaning in your environments. Therefore, applying this technique also guarantees good results if your goal is to seek balance and vibrational harmony.
How do I know if I need energy cleaning in my home?
Normally, at times you will not feel completely at home. But, if this feeling is constant and frequent, even causing headaches, malaise, insomnia, excessive laziness and a feeling of tiredness, it may be time to eliminate the negative energies from the environment and do an energy cleaning. You may have difficulty getting up in the morning, feeling heavy, excessive yawning, tension and irritability. They are all indicative that an energy cleaning is necessary.
Do you feel that your home is heavy, your life stagnant, charged or do you feel that something holds you inside your home or drains you of energy? Do you often feel tired and discouraged, without will and initiative for nothing? If so for some of the aforementioned items, know that your home may need good energy cleaning! The energetic cleansing will help you in this “detoxification” process, either to release the low vibrations accumulated there, or to renew the vibrations of the environments, or even eliminate negative influences present in the environments.
And as, according to Feng Shui, our lives are reflections of the environments we live in, the energy cleaning in our home will reflect positively on our lives bringing more vitality, disposition and joy to you and your spaces!
If you live near places with accumulations of negatives, such as hospitals, cemeteries, abandoned works, dumps, vacant lots, etc., your environment can be constantly contaminated with these vibrations. So, a good energy cleaning is highly recommended to be performed more often.
Energy Cleaning in Practice.
There are countless ways to do an energy clearing.
Taking care of your home's energy also means having a clean and organized environment. Organization, cleanliness and coarse salt are some steps to fill your home with positive energy. It is also possible to use sounds, water, essential oils, flowers, crystals ...
It is important to perform a physical cleaning in the spaces (organization and cleaning) before proceeding with the energy cleaning. When doing an energy cleaning you will not only be doing an energy cleaning but establishing an own energy field for your future. When cleaning your environments, you leave your space conducive to attracting good energy and for the beginning of a “bright” future.
To do the energy cleaning, you can use sounds, incense, fire, water, teas, herbs, coarse salt, etc ... just choose the one you like best and be viable at the moment. Check out some ways:
1 Renew the air.
The simple fact of renewing the air inside your home is already a way to do an internal energy cleaning. Applying this technique of Feng Shui in your environments is also to attract good energy, which is alive and always in motion.
This means that for a house to have good energy, it needs to have a constant flow of new, circulating, fresh energy, with lots of natural light, living items like plants or flowers, vibrant art, pleasant sounds, good smells, beautiful images.
Place wind chimes that have pleasant sounds. Open your windows and curtains! Let the air in and renew yourself. Let the sun in ... Everything that moves and has a flow promotes cleansing of energy.
To help with this movement and this renovation, you can shake out the pillows and bedding. Movement and fresh air leave the environments renewed!
It is even worth seeing, for a few moments, space is cleaned and re-energized by an intense flow of energy, which enters through the window and cleans all environments, like a great wave of positive, perfumed and brilliant energy. Thus, with the power of your visualization and intention, you enhance the purifying and renewing effect of the air.
2 Light an incense
The smoke from the incense sticks takes our prayers to heaven. And the answers to our prayers come back to us the same way. Thus, lighting incense is a powerful way of communicating with universal energies. It is excellent for creating a meditative atmosphere. This is a simple way to activate the energy of space while purifying it as well. The aroma of the incense will penetrate the spaces, impregnating them with its perfume and helping in its purification.
The choice of aromas is very important. It is always worth having incense sticks that please your sense of smell and also attract energies compatible with your intentions. It is also important to choose incense sticks made with natural ingredients so that you do not harm your health by vacuuming charcoal, various chemicals and toxic gases… ok?
How to choose the aroma of your incense?
Cinnamon: Attracts Prosperity
7 herbs: Protection and purification
Patchouli: Inspires harmony and is a natural aphrodisiac.
Eucalyptus: Eliminates negative energies, invigorates, cleanses and tones.
Lavender: Calms, comforts and relaxes.
There are countless aromas available, just choose the one that best fits your moment.
Smells determine how you feel. Scents can invoke the most subtle energy fields of plants and flowers into your home.
You can spread the aroma of incense around the house, from the front door and in a clockwise direction, with the intention of cleaning, purifying and protecting and of course, always keeping good thoughts in the environment. You can walk through all the environments until you get around the whole space and “incense” every corner, ending the path at the entrance door where you started.
3 Use the power of aromatherapy.
Essential oils are another way to bring the power of aromatherapy into your home. They are widely used for therapeutic purposes, as they carry the energy of nature concentrated in their composition. Smells directly affect our emotions and energy levels.
Dilute the oil drops in a little water and spray through the rooms. You can buy a diffuser or make an air purifier with pure essential oils to help remove negative energy and improve the vibrational content of the places. Other powerful oils to use in the environments are roses (attracts love), lavender (promotes relaxation), rosemary (brings joy), basil (a natural antidepressant) and patchouli (aphrodisiac). The aroma of orange is reminiscent of a summer day, with lots of sun and joy. Cleans the environment and improves your mood.
Abuse of pleasant smells, aromatising environments, sticks or sprays ... But, give preference to products with natural ingredients. Escape the chemical essences, because they are synthetic mixtures that can harm your health, ok?
4 Use and abuse of Eucalyptus Oil.
The natural essential oil of eucalyptus is fantastic and super indicated for carrying out a good energy cleaning. Adding water and eucalyptus essential oil, when you want to remove impregnated energies, is a real golden tip for balance and re-energizing your spaces. You can even do a good energy cleaning on furniture, objects and even environments in general. Doing energy cleaning in the environments frequently is an important and very effective task for restoring good vibrations.
To do this cleaning, just mix a little water with a few drops of natural eucalyptus essential oil and use this special mixture to wipe the floor, furniture (directly or with the help of cloth) or even spray through the rooms.
This cleaning with eucalyptus essential oil can be used to clean cabinets, floors, walls and objects in general. It can also be used in sprinklers, perfuming and cleaning all the air in the room. Eucalyptus essential oil (100% natural) has an incredible power to remove negative energy and stopped energy, invigorates, cleanses and tones you and your environments. Therefore, if you feel your life is stagnant or heavy, it is a good idea to start with an energy cleaning with eucalyptus oil in your home.
5 Use the power of sound.
Sound is an important instrument for cleaning and invoking energies. The sound has vibration, vital force and awareness. It can be used to create a sacred temple, which protects your spaces, cleans and purifies energies, as well as speeding up vibrations so that your home exudes light and life.
It seems too simple, right? Just ring a bell in each corner of the house, from the entrance door, and clockwise go through each corner of each room, spreading this pleasant sound throughout the surroundings, until you return to the starting point. Mentally set the intention for sound waves to carry negative energy and bring positive energy into your home. Having a clear intention is essential for any cleaning practice. It is necessary to define an objective.
Don't you have a bell? Clap your hands! Purifies and cleans in the same way. You can also use the power of mantras. Look for a beautiful mantra on youtube and let it touch and flood your space with good energies. You have no excuse for not using the power of sound!
6 Put coarse salt in the rooms.
Coarse salt has surprising cleaning properties, acting both on the physical plane and on the more subtle planes. There are many ways to use it for purification.
You can take coarse salt baths to purify your aura, you can also mix it in the cleaning water you will use on the floor or leave it in a glass near the entrance to your home.
Salt crystals have a natural ability to absorb negative energy. To absorb the negative energy in the spaces, place coarse salt in the four corners of each room. After 48 hours, vacuum up the salt or sweep, and throw everything away.
You can take coarse salt baths, to perform an energy cleaning in your energy field. But be very careful, as the salt will remove both good and bad energies from your energy field.
It clears or "resets" all of our vibrations. So it must be used wisely.
If it is extremely necessary, bathe from the neck down ... To do this, mix in a litre of warm water, a spoon of coarse salt and pour from the neck down (never pour saltwater on your head/crown chakra).
A good alternative is to make just a little mound of salt on the bathroom floor and climb on top of it waiting for it to dissolve as the water in the shower falls, causing the salt to only have contact with your feet ... But then, make a bath with some other aromatic herb (eucalyptus, basil, rosemary, lavender, chamomile..etc ..) to replenish the lost positive energies… ok?

How about leaving a little plant in each room? You can even leave plants in your room, after all, they filter the air we breathe very well. NASA even released a list of the 19 best plants to purify the air in your home.
you can place pots in each area of the plant that most activates that water. For example, succulents for Work, raffia for Family, ferns for Prosperity, bromeliads for Success, anthuriums for Relationship, peace lilies for Creativity and Friends, zamioculcas for Health.
9 Use the Black Tourmaline crystal.
In general, black stones are excellent allies when it comes to energy cleaning, as they have special properties capable of protecting us and disintegrating negative energies.
All crystals have the power to raise our vibrations, to enchant our gaze and to touch our soul! Tourmaline, in particular, is a stone “specialized” in cleaning and purification!
