This evening I am cleaning my house and indulging in self care. I love that I can put those two ideas in the same sentence and that they make sense to me, haha.
Home isn’t just a place to lie your head down at night—it’s the container for your energy, your dreams, and the quiet moments when you remember who you truly are.
Because I believe this, I try to make house cleaning a sacred act rather than hard labor. I blend it with spiritual house cleansing. Spiritual house cleansing is the intentional practice of clearing negative or stagnant energy from your living space to create an atmosphere of harmony, renewal, and sacred alignment. ❤️
When I approach cleaning as a ritual that honors the energy of my home, then everything feels more meaningful. I'm reconnected to the excitement of caring for this space that I co-create with my small family. Even mundane acts like taking out the trash or washing the floors can bring me joy because I'm in a state of gratitude.
A sacred home invites sacred living. The way we care for our space mirrors the way we tend to our hearts, our families, and the world around us.
SPIRITUAL HOUSE CLEANSING ON AUTOMATION
I don't know about you but my life gets pretty busy sometimes, so I prepare the energy of my home while I'm out running errands.
I’ll turn up my speakers and play sound healing music or sacred chants before stepping out. I used to love the Benedictine Monks. Nowadays I tend to turn on youtube and hunt for Solfeggio Tones or chakra balancing videos that I can blast through my house.
If you like natural sounds, look for a recording of the ocean. It has to be a realtime recording, not a looped track. The sound of the ocean will also settle chaotic energies and clear out the imprint of old arguments from a home.
I may be out running errands for 4 or 5 hours, but while I'm loading up groceries up the street, my house is being bathed in sound frequencies for healing. This cuts my work in half, and it honestly feels like a gift to my home.
Humans are electromagnetic beings with a fairly high sensitivity to frequency. The Institute of Heart Math states that "the heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in the body. The electric field as measured in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is about 60 times greater in amplitude than brain waves recorded in an electroencephalogram (EEG) and can be measured several feet away from the body.”
The way I see it, we're constantly influencing one another with the vibration of our hearts. When we're at home, we want to feed and stabilize our vibration as much as possible.
Our homes hold the echoes of our laughter, the weight of our tears, and the silence of our deepest prayers. Cleansing it is an act of honoring its soul—and our own. I give my home whatever sounds I feel it needs.
When I return from errands, the house feels lighter—almost like it’s already begun to cleanse itself. Walking back into that energy sets the perfect tone for a deeper, spiritual cleansing.
ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HOUSE CLEANSING
One thing I love to do while cleaning is simmer a pot of water on the stove, with a few drops of essential oils. Yes, you can also use a diffuser, but you don't need to purchase fancy instruments.
Sometimes, I’ll even add herbs, depending on what my space feels like it needs. A handful of pine needles from the tree outside, or a cinnamon stick from my cabinet, make the space instantly warm.
For years, a chopped up lemon was my go-to, as it instantly brightens a space and clears negative intentions.
As my mood changes throughout the day, and the water evaporates, I rinse out the pot, and create a new blend.
Today, my house blessing mixture is lavender, juniper berries, vetiver, and rose geranium. These smells are exactly what I’m drawn to right now—grounding and uplifting. Their energetic correspondences align beautifully with what I’m craving:
lavender for calm
juniper for purification
vetiver for grounding, and
rose geranium for a touch of heart-centered softness.
When I tune into my intuition, it always leads me to exactly the healing oils I need. Here are some blends I've used in the past. Honestly, I love tinkering, adding more oils on some days until the pot smells magical and inspiring.
Essential Oil Recipes for Clearing Out Unwanted Spirits
Here are two simple recipes you can use to energetically cleanse your house of unwanted spirits. Add these blends to a pot of simmering water, an oil diffuser, or even a spray bottle with water for misting:
Purification and Protection Blend
4 drops of frankincense essential oil (clears and protects energy)
3 drops of sage essential oil (illuminates and removes negative spirits)
3 drops of cedarwood essential oil (grounds and stabilizes energy)
2 drops of benzoin essential oil if you have it(banishes lingering negativity)
This blend creates a warm, protective energy, perfect for resetting your home’s vibration. You can add or remove whatever you'd like to make the blend yours. I often add rose when I'm working with Frankincense.
Uplifting House Blend
This blend is ideal for creating a peaceful, harmonious environment while lifting the energy of your home.
5 drops of lemon essential oil, OR a sliced lemon (clears energy)
4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, OR 2 leaves (cleanses and refreshes the atmosphere)
3 drops of peppermint essential oil (banishes unwanted spirits and brings mental clarity)
2 drops of lavender essential oil, or a spoonful of flowers (protective and calming in this blend)
Everyone has a different preference for what they like to smell. Some days I like things floral and sweet. I'll work with ylang ylang, jasmine, palmarosa, or rose.
A clean house is a canvas for the life you’re creating. It's a reflection of the love you hold for yourself and those you share it with. When we cleanse our homes, we are also cleansing our spirits. Every act of care we offer our space ripples into the energy of our daily lives.
While the pot is simmering, I mop my floor and clean my counters. I sprinkle baking soda on the carpet to absorb smells and energies, and I do a slow vacuum. Then I put on my favorite music and go through the house systematically, putting away clutter, and throwing out what doesn't belong.
I allow old memories to surface and I give thanks for objects and even trash as I let it all go.
Every home tells a story. When you clear the clutter and invite in light, you rewrite that story into one of joy, connection, and possibility.
When we treat house cleaning as sacred, we’re refreshing the energy that surrounds us every day. It creates space for clarity, love, and peace to flow in.
