You may be very psychic & sensitive to others energy, you may feel dense and feel nothing, you may work in a spiritual field or an environment where you see many people a day.
Everyone needs to cleanse.
Daily cleansing. In the Mayan culture cleansing is extremely important and performed atleast daily it is seen as as normal as taking a shower or bath for your physical body . Traditionally babies across many cultures were/are cleansed when they are born to be able to remove any residual energy or memories from their most recent incarnation.
The beauty of cleansing is the vast array of ways to clear energies from the etheric bodies & energy centres of the body (or spirit for simplicity)
Visualisation
If you search online there are many many videos and guided meditations to clear your energy field from chakra cleanses, aura cleanses to yoga meditations which are all excellent ways to start or end your day.
Yoga nidra provides a wonderful cleanse, in addition to total body & mind relaxation. It also works with your brain & nervous system to balance the left & right hemisphere's and improve communication via the corpus callosum (the communication bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain) to make it healthier and stronger connections & neural pathways.
Yoga nidra also involves manifestation via the use of a Sankalpa, a technique of wording a resolve as if it is already in motion & you are only removing the doubt between you & the new habit, goal, state of being.
An example would be 'I am in perfect health' when you are trying working with a sickness condition Or 'I am fearless' to overcome fears. The more specific but succinct, the better.
The SanKalpa within yoga nidra practice commicates to the subconscious part of the mind to clear obstacles and allow for change or spiritual development.
Jennifer Piercy had a fantastic yoga nidra for sleep audio which you can access for free at 'Do yoga with me' that I have used myself for years.
Another less known method is to self cleanse the 13 energy centres of the body with Mayan techniques which involves visualisation & the 4 sacred elements.
As well as a beginners astrology course I am currently working on a Mayan cleansing course outlining the ancient rituals you can use for yourself & loved ones to not only cleanse but strengthen connection to god, the source, the divine, the great spirit, the oneness - Watch this space.
The sacred four elements of the four directions.
Earth, Air, Fire, Water.
To the Mayan and many ancient cultures the elements are not inanimate, they are complex, loving, guiding, powerful spirits that we work in relationship with & can ask support from in difficult times.
Whether it's asking Grandfather/Father Fire spirit to remove a heartache, to burn away past trauma or help you to release something or someone - we have all had a burning ceremony without thinking about it, an ex's photo perhaps.
Or speaking to the mother/grandmother water, she contains all the memory of all the time water has been on the earth, the wisdom of water is gentle, loving, cleansing. Sometimes we feel like we need another shower or a bath because we intuitively know we are needing to clean some energy or negative emotions away.
Smudge sticks or Smoking ceremony
Smudge sticks and smoking ceremony can be performed with various types of sage, eucalyptus, sweet grass, cedar, palo santo, pine, bay leaves, rosemary, sandalwood, dragonsblood & many others. The best way to choose a smudging item as with crystals often, is to use your intuition. Every smudging smoke had its own resonance and way of communicating with your spirit to cleanse & assist you.
See our fb page for recommended videos for smudging from elders of their communities & cultures.
Crystals
Clear quartz, Selenite, Obsidian, Black tourmaline, Onyx & Flourite are some of the power houses of cleansing your self and your environment such as doorways, entry & exit points to the home.
That being said many crystals have cleansing properties. Crystals can 'speak to you' when you walk in you may be drawn to one and not know why, but if you look at what the Crystal works within your life & self it is usually exactly what you happen to need.
We have Crystal bibles, Crystal decks, books on crystals both new and preloved - Visit us in store to learn more about crystals or maybe one in particular. Alternatively you are welcome to try our Borrow a book service to learn more about crystals & simply return the book if you don't feel called to keep it.
Grounding & Sunshine
So simple it's overlooked by the most disciplined of us. Walking barefoot on the grass or sand, being immersed in nature, leaving your phone at home, Sun bathing especially at sunrise and sunset. The rewards of such simple, free and easy practices go beyond energy cleansing.
Ask the earth to clear anything that doesn't belong to you and pull it out down through your toes. Let the sun warm the tip of your head and feel a charge of energy come to the centre of your body either your belly bottom or heart connecting you to the source to the infinite.
Then feel the earth's feminine energy rising up through your toes from deep, deep in the earth to the same point. A ball of light between the two points (sky & earth) will warm you, open your heart and make you feel restored and refreshed.
Always thank the mother earth & father sky, grandfather sun/fire & the four directions for your healing. Give something in return, lovingly care for your pets or animals, birds, insects. Plant a seed. Offer fruit or vegetable scraps dig them into the earth to gift some nutrients. If you feel adventurous capture your menstrual blood and gift it to the earth. Or simply return a small Crystal to the earth.
Rosemary, lemon, salt, bay leaves..
Coconut oil or olive oil and salt, or lemon, or rosemary can be used as a scrub to cleanse the 13 sacred centre of the body as you shower. Simply rinse off when you are done.
A very simple, beautiful way to cleanse you energy that is natural and good for your skin.
Please take care with salt & lemon and do not use if you have any open cuts or abrasions.
What you will notice once you start to commit to the practice of daily cleansing.
You will have more energy & vitality.
You will feel happier and your nervous system will be calmed.
You will be less emotional, less reactive, less depression & anxious.
You will feel centred
You will get sick less often
You will feel more in touch with the divine, more alive, more aligned with your purpose.
When Daily Cleanses will fall short.
In the next blog post we will talk about energy cords, stubborn or resistant attachments, parasites and even past life karmic patterns within the self or from current ir past relationships that need special attention to free and resolve. In addition to the methods & practitioners to seek to address these issues.

I wish to pay respect to the traditions which I have spoken of in this blog, I have reduced & combined some of the teaching taught to me for the sakes of simplicity & not out of disrespect to the rich, complex and diverse history across all of the America's and Australia.
I am but a student sharing what I have learned with deep reverence to my teachers and the ancient teachings
