While we may not always be consciously aware of how the rest of the universe is impacting us, the fact is that we are all vibrational beings made up of energy. And while science can explain some of this, elements deemed as ‘magic’ still defy complete understanding.

Yet if you’ve ever had reiki or another holistic therapy, you’re likely to have felt some sense of energy work and how we are all interconnected. A great example of this is aromatherapy, which is often quite intuitive.

This sensitivity and deep listening to what is needed is an excellent example of how we read our energy. In other words, by attuning to our power and that of others, we can get a fuller picture of the bigger picture and how we all fit into it.

Essential Oils and Rituals to Dispel Negative Energy

In recent years, there has been an influx of negative energy in the world. With the constant coverage of COVID and other tragedies, it is easy to become consumed by this negativity. This negativity can impact us spiritually, causing us to feel depleted and vulnerable.

Protecting Ourselves from This Negative Energy

Protecting ourselves from this negative energy and cleaning ourselves spiritually is essential. This can be done through various methods, such as meditation, prayer, and Reiki. As caring professionals, we must also remember to take care of ourselves. We face difficult situations daily and must ground ourselves and release this negative energy. Only then can we continue to help others positively.

It’s been relatively easy for many of us to switch off the news and keep ourselves protected in our homes, but as we slowly emerge from our year-long chrysalis, there is a lot of fear arising; just as the butterfly leaves its mushy pupa, we are beginning to spread our wings again, and we’re feeling a bit delicate about it.

The good news is, regardless of all of this, we can harness our own power – our inner witch – to consciously cleanse and protect our energies from anything negative. I talk a lot about the ‘inner witch’ in my work because I see that we are all-powerful creators with magic within us, and we often forget it.

Like the butterfly, we have undergone a period of transformation, and now it’s time to step into our power. There are many simple ways to do this, such as setting intentions, using crystals or sage for cleansing, and even just spending time in nature. When we connect with our power, we can navigate any situation with confidence and grace.

Essential Oils Can Help Dispel Negative Energies

As we venture back into the world, protecting our energies from negativity is important. One way to do this is to use essential oils to cleanse and protect ourselves from negative influences.

Essential oils can help dispel negative energies and keep us from taking on too many burdens, worries and darkness. We can keep ourselves safe and healthy physically and spiritually using these oils. So next time you feel overwhelmed or down, reach for some essential oils and let them help you cleanse away negativity and recharge your positive energy.

How to Harness the Power of Rituals

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how to perform a ritual, it’s essential to understand why we do it. A ritual is usually a sequence of prescribed and regular activities. The point of the ritual is to create a way of bringing regular attention to an intention.

Whether setting aside time for yourself every day or creating a space for contemplation and meditation, ritual allows us to focus and be present in the moment. It can be helpful to think of practice as training our attention muscles. By performing the same activities in the same way, at the same time, we create neurological pathways that become familiar and comfortable.

Over time, this can help us to develop greater focus and clarity in our lives. And while there are many benefits to ritual, ultimately, it comes down to what works best for you. So experiment and find what works best for you – there is no right or wrong way to do it.

The Act of Focusing with Intentional Magic

Intentional magic is focusing one’s energies on bringing about the desired change. This type of magic can be used for various purposes, from healing and protection to attracting abundance and love. When working with intentional magic, it is essential to be clear about your intention.

The more specific you can be, the better. Once you have decided on your intention, the next step is to create a ritual to help you focus your energies. This can be as simple or as complex as you like, but it should be something you feel comfortable with and can easily repeat. The final step is to let go of your intention and trust that the universe will help you to manifest your desires.

Remember, magic is always about intention and focus – so keep your mind focused on what you want to achieve, and the universe will do the rest.

The first step in any ritual is to set your intention. What are you hoping to accomplish through this ritual? In this case, we intend to cleanse and protect our energy. Every action we take during the practice should align with this intention.

We can choose what feels suitable for us, so the ritual feels like accomplishing something. For some people, this might mean smudging their entire house. For others, it might be as simple as lighting a candle and saying a prayer.

There is no right or wrong way to do this – it all depends on what aligns you with feeling like your energy is cleansed and protected. Experiment until you find something that works for you, and then commit to making it a regular part of your self-care routine.

7 Rituals for Cleansing Our Energy of Negativity

We all carry around energy that is not our own. It can come from people we interact with, places we’ve been, or even residual energy left behind by past events. This negative energy can drain our energy, making us feel exhausted, and irritable, and even causing physical problems. Thankfully, there are several rituals we can do to cleanse our energy and get rid of negativity.

Full Moon Journaling

As the moon waxes and wanes, so does our mood and energy. During the full moon, we often feel a surge of emotion as our internal landscape is illuminated. This can be a powerful time for release and transformation. One way to harness this energy is through full moon journaling.

By writing out your intention to let go of negativity, you can create space for positive change. Journaling can also be a cathartic process, providing a release for pent-up emotions. Once you have written your letter, you can burn it under the moon’s light. This act of releasing negativity can help to clear the way for new beginnings.

As you perform this ritual, spritz yourself with an essential oil such as lavender or rosemary to invoke calm and peace.

Nature Cleanse

Being held by nature is one of the most powerful ways I know to dispel negative energy. You’re being recharged with nature’s power! Sitting out for an hour on the grass, taking your essential oils with you, you’ll feel so cleansed. This works so well because we are natural creatures and our bodies respond very positively to being in nature. Just as we need food and water to survive, we also need contact with nature.

Sadly, in today’s modern world, we often live separate lives from nature, which can negatively impact our health and wellbeing. We are reconnecting with ourselves and recalibrating our system by taking some time to connect with nature.

This is why spending time in nature is a powerful way to cleanse our energy. It allows us to release any negativity that we may be holding onto and replaces it with nature’s positive, powerful energy. Next time you’re feeling down or stressed, try spending some time outside in nature instead of reaching for a coffee or a cake. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel afterward!

Singing

Singing may seem like a silly way to cleanse yourself of negative energy, but there is a science to support the claim. When you sing, your body releases endorphins, which have been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. Additionally, singing requires deep breathing, which helps to oxygenate your blood and promote relaxation.

And finally, making music with your voice can help to soothe and calm the mind. So the next time you feel stressed or overwhelmed, try singing a simple song. You may be surprised at how much better you feel afterward.

Candle Meditation

The act of candle meditation is a simple but powerful way to cleanse your energy and rid yourself of negativity. To begin, light an incense stick and sit down to meditate. Place a lit candle at eye level and focus on the intention of cleansing your energy. As you stare at the candle flame, allow your mind to be drawn into its mesmerizing dance.

One drop of Peppermint essential oil into the melted wax while the flame is out, will help to cleanse the air around you and provide a refreshing scent. Combining the incense smoke and Peppermint oil will help purify your energy field and release any negative vibrations. Candle meditation is a beautiful way to calm, center yourself, and connect with the higher power of love and light.

Herbal Smudge

Burning herbs, also known as smudging, is a well-known way to cleanse your energy. It is believed that the smoke from the burning herbs helps to break up negative energy and allow it to dissipate into the air. You can buy smudge sticks already made, or you can create your own.

Smudging is a centuries-old practice that many cultures have used for cleansing purposes. The act of smudging involves burning dried herbs, such as sage, rosemary, or thyme and using the smoke to cleanse oneself or one’s space. While smudging is often thought of as a way to cleanse negative energy, it can also be used to create a sense of peace and relaxation. Creating your smudge sticks is a simple way to add this ritual to your life.

To make your smudge stick, you will need 15 sprigs of dried herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme, or your choice), some twine, and a lighter. Simply bundle the herbs together with the twine and light them. You can also put some loose herbs on an incense disc and add a few drops of essential oil before landing it. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to the herbs for an additional boost of cleaning power. Whether you use it to cleanse negative energy or simply create a sense of peace, smudging is a powerful ritual that is well worth incorporating into your life.

Salt

A straightforward way to cleanse your energy is to take a saltwater bath. Salt is known for its ability to absorb negativity, so adding a cup or two of Epsom salt to your bathtub can help clear away any unwanted energy. You can also try smudging with sage.

Sage has long been used in Native American cultures for cleansing and protection, and it can be very effective at clearing away negative energy. If you don’t have sage on hand, another good option is palo santo wood. Light the wood and let the smoke waft around you and your space.

Crystals

Another option is to use crystals. Certain crystals like amethyst and quartz are known for absorbing negative energy. You can keep them in your pocket or place them around your home, or you can make a crystal elixir. To do this, place the crystals in a water bowl and allow them to charge overnight. In the morning, drink the elixir throughout the day.

Real Power by Using Essential Oils

When setting intentions and manifesting change, I believe there is real power in using essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated forms of natural chemicals that are found in plants. They have individual therapeutic properties that can create physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual change.

If you select suitable essential oils, they can offer potent alchemy that can support your intention to cleanse and transform your life. Some of the best essential oils for this purpose include lemon, rosemary, eucalyptus, and lavender.

Lemon oil is known for its ability to cleanse and purify, rosemary oil is stimulating and invigorating, eucalyptus oil is refreshing and clearing, and lavender oil is calming and balancing. Using these oils in your rituals can help create the changes you desire.

Essential Oils for Cleansing Negative Energy

There are many ways to cleanse your home of negative energy, but one of the simplest and most effective is to use essential oils. Lemongrass, cypress, frankincense, lemon, eucalyptus, and lemon eucalyptus are all excellent choices for clearing out negative energy.

Simply add a few drops of oil to a diffuser or spray bottle filled with water, and mist the rooms in your home. You can also add a few drops of oil to a cloth and wipe down surfaces in your home. As you cleanse your home of negative energy, you will notice a difference in the overall atmosphere. Your home will feel lighter, brighter, and more positive.

Cleansing Ritual Blends

A cleansing ritual is a perfect way to start fresh, rid yourself of negative energy, and promote a sense of wellbeing.

And what better way to do so than with a cleansing spritz or diffuser blend? Lemongrass, cypress, and rosemary essential oils are known for their ability to cleanse and purify, making them the perfect addition to any cleansing ritual. Simply add a few drops to witch hazel hydrolat and spritz over your body, or diffuse in a candle burner or diffuser for 30 minutes.

Cleansing Spritz

It can be easy to pick up negative energies from the people and places around us. It might be time for a cleansing spritz if you’re feeling down or low on energy. This simple blend of lemongrass, cypress, and rosemary essential oils in witch hazel hydrolat is perfect for banishing negativity and refreshing your energy. Just spritz it over yourself to cleanse away any negative influences. You’ll feel lighter and brighter in no time!

Cleansing Diffusion

The practice of cleansing is an integral part of many spiritual traditions. It is a way of clearing away negativity and making space for positive energy. There are many ways to cleanse, but one simple and effective method is diffusing essential oils.

You will need Frankincense, Lemon, and Lemon Eucalyptus essential oils for this cleansing diffusion. Add 3 drops of each oil to a diffuser filled with water. Turn on the diffuser and allow it to run for 30 minutes. While the oils are diffusing, take some time to focus on your intention for cleansing.

Visualize the negativity being cleared away and replaced by positive energy. After 30 minutes, open the diffuser and let the oils evaporate naturally. This cleansing diffusion can be performed as often as needed, whenever you feel the need to clear away negative energy.

5 Rituals to Protect Our Energy from Negativity

Salt Baths

When it comes to relaxation, there are few things as soothing as a warm bath. But did you know that a salt bath can also benefit your health? Salt baths have been used for centuries to help improve circulation and relieve muscle pain.

More recently, they have also been shown to promote healthy skin and reduce stress levels. And now, thanks to the addition of essential oils, salt baths can also help to protect your energy. To create an energy-protecting salt bath, add 2 cups of Epsom salts to a bowl and mix in three drops of Cedarwood, three drops of Patchouli, and two drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil.

Then add the mixture to your warm bath water and relax. As you breathe in the therapeutic scent of the essential oils, focus on protecting your energy. You may find that this simple ritual helps you to feel more grounded and centered throughout the day.

Drumming

Drumming is a powerful way to connect with your intuition and create a protection space. When you beat a drum, the sound vibrates through your body, creating a deep connection with the rhythm. This connection can help to ground you and protect your energy.

Dancing to the drum beat can also help raise your vibration and connect you with your power. Intuitively moving your body around the room, allowed by the drum’s rhythm, can help release any stagnant energy and invite in fresh, protective energy.

The next time you need to protect your energy, try drumming. Create some space, grab a drum (or anything that makes noise!), and let yourself be guided by the rhythm.

Visualization

Visualization is a powerful method of the creation of protection. When you visualize yourself surrounded by white, protective light, you create a barrier between yourself and the outside world.

The white light represents the purest form of energy, and it is this energy that will protect you from harm. The light surrounds you, reaching from the ground to the universe. It is impenetrable and provides complete protection. Sit and diffuse your oils as you visualize this protective barrier around you. Breathe deeply and relax in knowing you are safe and protected from all harm.

Grounding Movement

We all desire protection from negativity in our lives. Whether protecting our physical bodies from harm or our energetic bodies from negative influences, we can use movement to help ground this desire into every cell of our being.

By setting the intention for protection and using a massage blend, we can bring conscious awareness to our desire for security and infuse our entire being with this intention.

Through movement, we can connect with our bodies deeper, awakening the power within us to create the life we want. When we move with purpose, we harness the ability to create positive change in our lives. So, set the intention for protection and let your body be your guide as you move towards a life free from negativity.

Crystals

The full moon is a time of mystical energy and wonder. For centuries, people have used this time to reflect on their intentions and set their sights on what they hope to manifest in the coming month. One way to harness the power of the full moon is to charge your crystals.

By placing your crystals in the moon’s light, you infuse them with powerful, positive energy that can be used for protection. Black tourmaline and clear quartz are magnificent stones to use for this purpose.

Once charged, carry your crystals with you throughout the month to help keep your intention at the forefront of your mind. The next time the full moon rolls around, take some time to connect with your crystals and see how they’ve helped you manifest your desires.

Cedarwood, patchouli, and ylang-ylang oils are all excellent for creating a protective barrier against negative energy. To use them, simply mix in a carrier oil and massage into the body toward the heart.

The intention is key here, so be sure to focus on the purpose of protection as you massage the oils into your skin. These potent oils will help to create a buffer against negative energy, allowing you to stay focused and positive.

Finally, you can apply a few drops of sandalwood or rose oil to your wrists or temples when you feel you need an extra boost of protection. carrying these oils with you throughout the day can help you stay focused on your intention and shield you from negativity.

The Journey of Focusing in The Direction of Cleansing and Protection

When it comes to self-care, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one person may not work for another, and what works at one point in your life may not work at another.

That’s why it’s essential to be open to trying new things and to find what works best for you at any given moment. With that in mind, some self-care rituals may help you feel more grounded, connected, and centered. Experiment with them and see what feels right for you.

One simple ritual is to connect with your breath for a few moments each day. Focus on inhaling deeply and slowly and exhaling fully and completely. This can help to center and calm you and to bring you into the present moment.

Another ritual that can be helpful is spending time outdoors in nature daily. This could involve walking in the park, sitting in the sun, or simply watching the clouds roll by. Let nature nourish and rejuvenate you.

You might also want to try creating an altar or sacred space in your home, where you can go to connect with your higher power or simply take a moment for yourself. Fill this space with things that bring you joy, comfort, and peace.

Rituals can be a helpful way to create more intention and focus in your life. Regarding self-care, essential oils can be powerful protection, relaxation, and grounding tool. Find what works best for you and commit to caring for yourself, mind, body, and spirit.
