Cleansing and Protecting Your Home

with the use of crystals and sage

Directions:

Complete this ritual during the time of the Full Moon.

First, open all windows in your home. Then, stand by your front door with a bundle of white sage. Think about the intention you are wanting to set and the energy you want to attract before starting. When you are ready, light your sage and blow on the flame once the bundle starts to smoke. Begin by smudging yourself top to bottom. Then move on to each room clockwise wafting the smoke from corner to corner until you reach the front of your home again.

Be sure you drift the smoke to all hidden spaces like closets and behind doors. If you feel it is helpful, you can chant a mantra or a prayer while walking the perimeter of your home. When you arrive back at your front door, say your mantra or prayer once more and visualize your entire home with bright, white sunlight.

After smudging your home, you can grid the perimeter of your home with Black Tourmaline and Selenite. Add a piece of each to each of the main corners of your home. Be sure to set your intention before placing them. If you feel like a specific room needs extra protection, place a larger piece of each on the windowsill. You can even add Rose Quartz in the main rooms to incorporate attracting love and peaceful energy.

If you have young children or allergies to smoke, you can still smudge outside of the home effectively.
