What are your favorite ways of cleansing and releasing?

For me it would be bath with basil water.
Its washes all the negativity off me.
Sometimes When i cant bath. I would meditate or burn some incense sticks

Hello,

Great question!

I find I cleanse/process by:
-picturing white light or sometimes gold washing over me, thru me, surrounding me. Then I ground myself.
-go outside and take some deep breathes and just pause. I imagine letting go in each out breath.
-journal
-pull a tarot card or two in how I can shift my energy/process what has happened.
-play music
-asking for guidance in my dreams if I am still bothered by nighttime
-energy work

Thanks for the excellent explanation

@Artemisia

A crossroad is an intersection between two or more roads, or sidewalks, trails, or footpaths

And one more question,. Is it important for it to be a place that you don’t visit regularly? Because can you then pick up the energy again?
Thank you so much in advance for your wisdom!

@celineelise I would take a cleansing bath or shower. I just posted about it…

I hope everyone is well

@Wandering_free I’m so glad you’ve been taking care of yourself! I do love a good bath! However, I can’t anymore due to my illness. I have a cleansing ritual I do everytime I shower. I light rose incense for self-love. I put on some instrumental music. As I’m showering I say, “I release all energies and emotions that do not serve my highest good. They are washed away, down the drain and returned to the earth to be cleansed.” Of course you could change the words. I repeat th…

I would also recommend some grounding!

That is an interesting question! I suppose I could see an argument either way depending on what spell or ritual you are doing, or your intent.

Familiar places we frequent have a different energy than new and unknown locations. I think if I were doing a spell that was about letting go of the past or forging into the unknown, I would choose a less frequent place or even a new location entirely.

If I was looking to ground and release and needed familiar comfort and support, I would choose a location I frequent that has good positive energy.

Then there’s the third pragmatic thought, what’s convenient to you and your location? Where will you actually have time and energy to go?

Honestly, the thing that helps me the most is journaling. Getting the thoughts out of my head and onto paper helps keep my head uncluttered. Then if you need to let go, you can write a letter and burn it in a ritual release.

One other thing is you might want to cleanse yourself and your home. You can smoke cleanse (practice fire safety! I almost caught my house on ! Someone else had something similar happen. Only takes one ember! You can use sound, sprays, and other smokeless ways
