There are many ways to cleanse. And often I am asked to help give guidance on this topic. Checking in with a lot of Feng Shui and even a lot of old domestic tombs for housewives we can learn that keeping an area physically clean, and set up for its intended purpose will help keep the energy of that place clean and focused on its intended use.
I want you to think of your body as your sacred space. Remember the adage that your body is a temple. And who is your body a temple to? Well, that is an opening for a great discussion, don't you agree?
We shower as we prepare ourselves for our workday. But how do you set the intention for what your body will be used for? Think of the clothing that you wear - different clothing to work out, go to the office, off to a hot date, etc. When we are going to do prayer, ritual, energy work it is important to set the intention in our bodies, to help us focus the intention into our soul as well.
Let your actions, dress, and attitude match each other each day. Remember to use a special incense, smudge, smoke or aromatherapy spray to enhance what you are going to do. What jewelry should you include or not include?
A sacred space in the home or yard should be tended with care, your body is the sacred space you carry everywhere and should be attended with even more care. The body is the house of the soul in this lifetime.
I agree with you loonwitch! When I prepare to go hunting, I wear special clothing that I intentionally keep free from detergents, so that I will not disrupt nature when I am out in the woods. This technique acts as a "camo" for me. I believe that I am also spiritually preparing myself when I do this -
I often use sage when I am cleansing a space (which I always do prior to leading a shamanic journey). I occasionally use other plants, such as cedar. Usually I do a cleansing on each of the participants in a journey, and for that I don't use sage because some people find the smell is too much: I sometimes just use my hands around their bodies, and sometimes I will use feathers or the wing of a bird. Recently I was gifted a wing from an owl that was killed on the road, and I have been using that a lot.
When I am cleansing my digestive system I often use raw garlic! It's pretty effective. When I want to cleanse my energy, I sometimes use sage, but quite often i will just use whatever vizualisations arises, such as fire surging up inside me.
I once got really sick after I had done an energy cleansing on someone and that taught me the importance of clearing out energies that are not mine from my aura.
hi, sorry if I'm asking it in the wrong topic I couldn't find something that would match my Q exactly, for a long time I had bizarre physical and mental conditions (for example feeling like losing the control and consciousness of my body) without any known sources I tried doctors, though they we're not much of a help, and finally I met someone, a really kind person, who told me that it was some kind of overshadowing or something like that by a negative energic being and that she helped me to get rid of them.
I don't have those conditions anymore though whenever I try to meditate or anything related to spirituality like astral projection, I just strongly feel that nothing is in place in my body (energy wise) and that I can't focus due blockages anywhere on my body that I try to focus on, I tried to practice astral projection and it was kind of successful but in that state I could clearly feel that something is wrong with my energic body.
do you have any ideas how could I heal my energic body or work on those blockages ?
