Magickal Cleansing: Why Energy Clearing Matters and How to Start

Let’s face it: life gets messy—emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Between doom-scrolling, awkward social interactions, and that weird vibe in your living room, it’s no wonder your energy feels a little...off. That’s where magickal cleansing comes in. Think of it as hitting the spiritual refresh button to clear out the negativity and make room for good vibes to flow.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we’ll dive into why energy clearing matters, how to do it, and why adding a little magick to your routine can make all the difference.

What Is Magickal Cleansing, and Why Does It Matter?

Magickal cleansing is like tidying up your energetic space. Just as dust and clutter build up in your home, stagnant energy can collect in your environment, body, and aura. This energy gunk can leave you feeling drained, stuck, or just plain blah.

By clearing this energy, you create space for positivity, creativity, and abundance to flow freely. It’s not just about getting rid of bad vibes—it’s about aligning yourself with the energy you want to invite into your life.

Signs You Need an Energy Clearing

Wondering if your energetic space could use a deep clean? Here are some telltale signs:

  • You feel tired or irritable for no apparent reason.
  • Your home feels heavy or uninviting, even after you’ve cleaned it.
  • You’re having trouble focusing or getting things done.
  • Relationships feel tense or out of sync.
  • You just know something feels “off.”

If any of these sound familiar, it’s probably time to break out the cleansing tools.

How to Cleanse Your Energy and Space

Ready to banish those bad vibes? Here are some tried-and-true methods to get started:

1. Smoke Cleansing

One of the most popular ways to clear energy is smoke cleansing. Using smoke from herbs like sage, rosemary, or cedar can help purify your space and reset the vibe.

How to Do It:

  • Light your chosen herb bundle and let it smolder, creating smoke.
  • Walk around your space, wafting the smoke into every corner.
  • As you cleanse, set an intention for what you want to release and invite into your space.

2. Candle Cleansing

Cleansing with candles is not only effective but also super aesthetic (and who doesn’t love an excuse to light a candle?). The flame represents transformation and can help burn away any stagnant energy lingering in your space.

How to Do It:

  • Choose a cleansing candle, like one infused with lavender or rosemary.
  • Light the candle and let it burn for a while as you focus on your intention.
  • Walk through your space with the candle, visualizing the flame purifying every nook and cranny.

3. Salt Cleansing

Salt has long been used for purification in spiritual practices, and it’s one of the simplest tools for energy clearing.

How to Do It:

  • Sprinkle a little salt in the corners of your home to absorb negative energy.
  • Leave it there for a day or two, then sweep it up and discard it.
  • For a personal cleanse, try a salt bath to release any heavy energy you’ve been carrying.

4. Sound Cleansing

If you’re not into smoke or salt, sound cleansing is a great alternative. Bells, singing bowls, or even your favorite playlist can help clear out bad vibes and reset the energy.

How to Do It:

  • Ring a bell or play your sound tool of choice in each room, focusing on areas where energy feels stuck.
  • Let the sound vibrations break up stagnant energy and replace it with fresh, positive vibes.

Bonus tip: Pair your sound cleansing with one of our wax melts for a multi-sensory experience that uplifts your space.

5. Visualization Cleansing

Sometimes, all you need is the power of your mind. Visualization cleansing is a simple and effective way to clear energy, no tools required.

How to Do It:

  • Close your eyes and imagine a bright, golden light filling your space.
  • Visualize this light pushing out any dark or stagnant energy.
  • When you feel the space is clear, imagine the light settling in, leaving your space refreshed and vibrant.

If you want to amplify this practice, try lighting one of our ritual candles while you visualize—the flame can help you focus your energy. When and How Often Should You Cleanse?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Some people like to cleanse weekly, while others do it only when they feel the need. Here are a few times when cleansing is especially helpful:

  • After an argument or conflict
  • Before and after hosting guests
  • At the start of a new month or moon cycle
  • Whenever you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed

Pro tip: Keep a few cleansing tools on hand so you’re always ready for an energetic reset. Check out our collection of candles and spell kits to stock up on everything you need.

Why Energy Clearing Is More Than Just a Ritual

Cleansing isn’t just about removing negative energy—it’s about creating a sacred space for growth, healing, and joy. When you clear your energy regularly, you’re telling the universe (and yourself) that you’re ready to release the old and welcome the new.

Plus, it’s a great excuse to slow down and practice a little self-care. Whether you’re lighting a candle, soaking in a salt bath, or ringing a bell, these rituals can be a moment of calm in an otherwise hectic day.

Ready to Refresh Your Energy?

Magickal cleansing doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes, all it takes is a candle, some salt, or even just your own focused intention. The key is to find a method that feels right for you and to practice it regularly.
