How to Rainbow Cleanse Your Home
I posted this image of rainbow cleansing my home and received many questions that I’m super excited to answer. Here it goes.
What does it mean to cleanse your home? Why is it important?
Our homes have energies, and these energies are crucial for our wellbeing. Cleansing your home means moving the energy within, getting rid of negative energy using different visualization techniques, and (smudging) burning herbs, replacing it with fresh positive energy. Just like our energy bodies, our homes can pick up negative energies, static energies, and past negative emotions. These energies are usually heavy and love to stay in corners. You know your home has low vibration energies when you feel heavy and unable to relax at home. It is important to cleanse these energies regularly so we can thrive, invite new energies, and let go of what no longer serves us.
How does a home pick up negative energies?
A home can pick up energies from various sources. For example, electronics can make the energies at home heavy. Arguments create negative energies that linger if not cleared. Old items that are never used and clutter can also contribute. It is important to clear home energies after a breakup, losing/leaving a job, or any major negative life event to release these energies from the home.
If I don’t cleanse my home, does that mean I will have bad luck for the rest of my life? No, it doesn’t. It just means that it will be more challenging to relax, let go of past arguments, and bring in new energies. After an energy cleanse, your home will feel refreshed, calming, and loving. Many people also report new opportunities and beautiful moments as soon as they finish the clearing process.
What are the benefits of a home cleanse?
Releasing stuck energy can result in positive changes in our lives. It brings more positive feelings to your home and your life. Sleeping becomes easier and deeper. Conversations flow more smoothly, and fewer arguments occur. You will feel more centered, and staying in the moment becomes much easier and consistent. Cleansing your home is a great message to the universe that you are ready to welcome abundance and love into your life. Letting go of negative energy makes way for new things to come. Burning herbs increases oxygen supply to the brain, clears away germs from the air, and the smell helps with relaxation.
What herbs do you use to cleanse your home?
Sagebrush: transforms energy and brings change. (my favorite one)
Sage (culinary herb): brings wisdom and is calming and healing.
Sweetgrass: attracts positive energy.
Lavender: Restores balance and creates a peaceful atmosphere. Also attracts loving energy and spirits.
Cedar: Deeply purifying, especially for clearing negative emotions and for healing. Used to bless a home before taking residence there.
Mugwort: Stimulates psychic awareness and prophetic dreams. Also banishes evil spirits.
Juniper: Used to purify and create a safe and sacred space.
Yerba Santa: Used to purify and to set and protect boundaries.
Rosemary: A powerful healer that brings clarity to problems. (Also brings in love)
How do you do a rainbow home cleanse? It’s super easy.
You will need:
White sage or any clearing herb (pick one from the list above)
A clear large glass of water
A white candle and a candle that represents your desire, for example: a green candle for abundance, red candle to attract love and passion, rose pink candle to attract gratitude and unconditional love. (I will write a whole blog post about this one next week)
Colored lights (I use Philips hue optional This the collection I use.)
Steps:
Take a few minutes to look around at items you haven’t used in the last six months. Let go of it, donate it, or give it to someone who would love it. Then clear out any clutter in your home.
Close your eyes, set an intention of letting go of what no longer serves your highest good. Make sure your windows are open and light your stick. Go around your home slowly, focusing on your intention of letting go of what no longer serves your highest good.
Take your time around corners, electronics, and bathrooms. Enjoy the process and feel it in your heart when you're done with each room.
Put out the herbal stick. Close the windows and pick up the water (some add salt to it) and just go around the house to pick up what's left of the energies.
Pour it down the toilet and flush the toilet. (This is a great symbol for yourself that you want low energies out.)
Sit in the center of your home or your meditation space (this is where I also use my Philips hue lights to help strengthen the energies of color) and visualize the center of the earth pumping red light to your home from floor to ceiling to all major four corners of your home then from the floor it changes to orange, then yellow, then green, sky blue, indigo then violet.
Let the violet turn into a violet flame that will burn away what no longer serves you, then seal it with a golden light frame all around the edges of your home.
Take a few deep breaths, focus on the energies you want, and what you want to bring into this home. Light your white candle and let its flame spread your beautiful intentions for your home.
I hope this brings you and your home more blessings and love.
