Our home is a sanctuary, a haven of peace, comfort and security. In the world of spiritual and energy practices, we are aware that negative energy can accumulate in spaces over time. These energies can come from a variety of sources, such as negative emotions, tense conversations, toxic people, outside influences, or even previous residents.

Fortunately, there are many ways to cleanse and protect our homes from these unwanted energies. Here is a comprehensive guide to ensure that your home remains a place of inner peace and positivity.

1. Cleansing with incense:

Using the power of holy smoke is an ancient practice known from many cultures around the world. Here are some incenses we recommend:

Palo Santo:

Palo Santo , often called "Holy Wood", is valued for its cleansing properties and bringing positive energies. Burning Palo Santo releases its exceptionally fragrant smoke, which we know clears negative energy, attracts positive vibrations and brings peace into our space.

Cedar:

Like Palo Santo, Cedar is a powerful cleanser. Cedar smoke cleans the space and attracts good vibrations. It is especially effective in removing negative energies arising from disputes or arguments.

Sometimes the doors of temples were smoked with it to prevent negative energy from entering. You can perform a similar ritual yourself.

White Sage:

White sage is a plant that is often used in spiritual and shamanic traditions to purify spaces and persons. White sage smoke has the power to ward off negative energies, create a protective field around a room or person, and attract positive vibrations.

Smoking with white sage helps to establish harmony, peace and balance in the room, eliminate stagnation of energy and create a feeling of purity and freshness.

2. Tourmaline above door frames

Black tourmaline is considered a powerful protective stone and one of our favorite "fighters" against negative energy. Placing a tourmaline above the front door frame can act as a shield to prevent negative energies from entering, while also getting rid of the negative energy already present.

3. Lemon and chili at the entrance

You can also place a lemon or chili in front of the entrance, because according to ancient traditions, these two plants ward off the 'evil eye' and protect residents from negative energy. Regardless of whether you decide to place plants or their fruits in front of the entrance, this combination will ensure good protection of your "safe space".

4. Salt around the house

Salt has been used for thousands of years as the best energy clearing agent. If you sprinkle salt around the corners of the house or rooms, you create a barrier and a wall through which heavy energy cannot enter.

Salt absorbs energy that is not wanted in your vicinity and cleans the whole environment. If you regularly practice "cleansing" with salt, do not forget to change the salt from time to time, especially if you feel that it has become too saturated with negativity.

5. Blowing cinnamon through the door:

Cinnamon is not only a delicious spice for all your culinary delights; it also has important spiritual qualities.

On the first of every month, blowing cinnamon through your front door will attract abundance and protection. The aromatic scent undoubtedly also has the additional benefit of refreshing your rooms.

May it (p)remain a sanctuary of harmony

In order for our home to (p)remain a sanctuary of positivity, harmony and peace, we must invest our time and intentions in it.
