I am sure we all clean our homes, but how often do we perform a spiritual house cleansing? A house cleansing is fantastic to get rid of stagnant energies, remove and protect the home from low vibration or negative energy. While we are out, we can pick up energies that are really low vibrational and will put you in a low vibration. Feeling down, upset, irritated, we might find ourselves lacking confidence or motivation.
That’s where this little gem comes in. I know some people are sensitive to smoke, so I am including a smokeless version of the cleansing (smudging) as well. I am going to include a little tip for extra manifesting. I mean, why not? We all want to manifest some amazing things for 2022! can you believe it is already 2022? the year flew by so quickly!
Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Before you begin, set your intention to cleanse/purify and protect your home and those who live there.
Very Important! You also want to open windows a bit or a back door to allow the energy to get out.
Say this prayer/ Mantra when performing the house cleansing
By the power of the sun,
By the power of the moon
command all energies and entities to leave this room.
All spirits who are not for my highest good who roam
You are not welcome in my home.
I banish you from dwelling here
So it is.
you can also say
Amen, so it is.

Directions for making bath
Boil water with herbs stirring clockwise
Using your intention to cleanse/ protect and purify
You can also say a prayer. (If you’re making this bath for someone mention the name of who the bath Is intended for).
For instance, in your prayer mention this bath is to protect (Jane/john smith) thank GOD, your angels, spirit guides, and the herbs for their protection bring that water to a boil and cover it.
Remove it from the heat.
Once it cools enough
Pour into a jar or container leaving enough room for 3-4 caps of the Florida water.
You can use more if you wish.
After the bath, you can pat yourself with some Florida water for added protection.
For house cleansing
When performing the house cleansing with the smudge you want to first light your smudge and smudge yourself to cleanse and purify your body and your aura.
Now move in a counter clock direction. starting from the entrance of your home, starting on the eastern part of your home. Make sure to get every corner of your home. (did you open the back door or windows to let that energy out?)
Either one of these will work
Yerba Santa – (purification/ cleansing removes negativity & guards your home)
Sage Smudge Stick – (cleansing and removing negative energy, this is also good if someone was sick at home. Sage also cleanses the air because it is antimicrobial and antibacterial. It keeps infections, bacteria. viruses and fungi at bay.)
Dragons blood sage – (protection and removing negative energies)
Rosemary – (banishes evil energies/protection, it is also very healing if someone is or was sick, this will purify your home and your aura).
If you’re not a fan or don’t want to use sage. Palo Santo is a magnificent alternative as it does clear away negative energy and invites positive energy.
Additionally, hang a sprig of Rosemary above your door to ward off negative entities or energy from entering.
If you can, put a tourmaline crystal above your door for extra protection
After the cleansing you can pour a small amount of sea salt outside your door across the entire bottom entrance. This keeps bad energy from entering.
Alternatively, after your home cleansing. Put cascarilla (white hard powder often packed in a small paper-like cup) take a little of that and put it in every corner of your home, and in the entrance of your door on the outside along the doorway.

For a smokeless cleansing.
You can use the herbs you boiled, pour some in a sterilized or clean spray bottle, and spray your home using your cleansing mantra and moving in the same direction. Starting at the entrance and moving toward the eastern part of your home first.
If you have holy water, You can pour some holy water in a glass bowl, take some Rosemary, dip it in the holy water and shake off the holy water from the rosemary, using your cleansing prayer,
Tip:
You can also use the mixture you made for the bath in a floor wash with the Florida water.
Your extra tip for manifesting
using Bay Leaves and a non-flammable cast iron or glass bowl, I use a cast iron incense burner. (this can also be purchased at a botanica)
Visualize what you want to manifest, see yourself having that. (it’s always about intention) Visualize how you would feel and allow yourself to feel that joy and excitement.
grab a pen or marker (I use a sharpie)
on the bay leaf write what you want to manifest. (you can burn multiple bay leaves)
for instance, on one you would write, Prosperity, on another Creativity, on another $$$, or you can write an exact amount, New home, etc,
Now one at a time, visualize yourself having what you wrote on the leaf. Burn it in the cast iron incense holder or non-flammable glass bowl.
Alternatively, you can use Rune Symbols on the Bay Leaf.
