New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Lavender
Incense of the day: Chrysanthemum Whether your home is a new apartment or a new house, you should clean it not just with soap and water, but also in a spiritual way. To start, smudge the home. For this, I prefer a sage and lavender smudge. Visualize warm thoughts of how you will spend time here with your family and friends. To ground and clear the home, use a mix of pine needles, mint leaves, salt, crushed cedar shavings, and lavender buds to sprinkle on the floors and carpets. Leave this mixture in place for twenty-four hours before sweeping and vacuuming, and you will draw out negativity. As soon as you are finished vacuuming, dump the bag to rid the house of any energies from the previous residents. Next, steep a handful of dried burdock (Arctium lappa) in water and wash your floors with this to purify, protect, and ward off negativity. Sinks, drains, and toilets benefit by mixing lavender oil and salt with water and allowed to stand over night before rinsing. |
