Powerful Energy Cleansing Ritual for Your Home

Learn how to cleanse negative energy from your home with this powerful house cleansing ritual to clear bad vibes and restore peace.

Maybe the air feels heavy. Maybe you’ve been arguing more than usual. Maybe you just can’t relax the way you used to. Spaces absorb energy. Our homes hold our thoughts, our emotions, our stress, our celebrations, and sometimes even the residue of previous occupants.

Over time, that energy can stagnate and manifest even more bad vibes.

The good news is that just as energy can accumulate, it can also be cleared. With intention and an extra-strength ritual like this one, you can refresh the atmosphere of your home, release lingering negativity, and restore a sense of peace, lightness, and harmony.

Sometimes, sage is all you need. But sometimes, you need something extra.

This cleansing ritual is designed to help you spiritually clear a house, apartment, office, or any physical space so it feels like yours again—calm, welcoming, and energetically aligned.

Ingredients

• A white or off-white soy candle and holder (optional)
• Plenty of sea salt in a bowl
• A grapefruit
• A cutting board and knife
• 4 clear quartz crystal points, cleansed in bright sunlight for at least 5-10 minutes
• A selenite crystal or wand, cleansed in bright sunlight for at least 5-10 minutes

If you have pets in the space, arrange for them to be somewhere else during the ritual.

Step One

Light the candle, if you’ve got one. Open all the windows and doors. Now move around each room and area in a counterclockwise direction, decisively throwing handfuls of sea salt at the walls and in the corners as you go. As you do this, feel and sense that you are powerfully cleansing the home of negativity by both neutralizing and repelling it. Repeat on any additional floors.

Step Two

Cut the grapefruit into four quarters. Go outside, and moving in a clockwise direction this time, visit all four corners of your home or property (whichever feels right). If you’re in an apartment, or the four corners are difficult to reach or discern, just approximate them as best you can. At each corner, squeeze one grapefruit quarter so the juice drips onto the ground, then leave the remaining corner on the ground with the juice. As you do this, feel and sense that you are setting a strong boundary of positivity, through which only clean, fresh, loving energy may enter, and in which only such energy may remain.

Step Three

Go back inside and wash your hands if they’re sticky. Next, move around the inside of the space, visiting all four corners (or approximating them as best you can). At each corner, place one of the quartz crystal points. As you do so, feel that you are reinforcing the boundary of positivity and protection. (If you have additional floors, you only need to do this on one floor.)

Step Four

Finally, with the selenite crystal in hand, move around each room and area in a generally clockwise direction. Intuitively wave the crystal around like a magic wand, recalibrating and reharmonizing the energy as you go.

If possible, leave the salt for twelve to twenty-four hours before sweeping or vacuuming it up. Also leave the grapefruit quarters for a similar amount of time before composting them, burying them, or placing them in your yard waste bin. The crystals can also stay in place for twelve to twenty-four hours, after which they can be cleansed (in sunlight, sage smoke, and/or running water) and stored for future magical work.

…See how fresh your space feels now?
