Energetic Reset Of Your Home

Hey there Magical Beings,

For me the home is an external representation of our internal world. Regardless if you live in a house, apartment or rent room in a larger dwelling the way we speak to and care for our home can create the abundance or the chaos we are seeking in our life. And so in this blog post I am going to discuss adding some magic to your mundane tasks to help you energetically reset your home, and perhaps a wee reset to your internal world as well.

Lets start with the windows and doors to your home. These are the eyes and mouth piece of your house. Portals if you will.

Each month I like to take some time and wash down my front and back door with peppermint water. During the summer months when mint is in bloom, i like to pick a few leaves and place them in water and let it sit overnight so I am using the resources I have in and around my house. Peppermint or any mint herb is great for calling in abundance as well as clearing energy from a space. When I wash or wipe down my doors I make sure to go in a counterclockwise motions first, starting from the bottom left hand corner (when I’m facing it) to the bottom right hand corner. The counter clockwise motion removes energy, so as I do this, I think of all the negative energy that has walked through my door (i bring a lot of that in my self) leaving. I then grab a new cloth, and in a clockwise motion clean the door from the top right corner to the bottom right corner. This time I am thinking about all the abundance that has walked through my door, and asking the universe, and my guides for “more of this please.” You can then mark your doors with sigils you have created or found on the center of your doors, place baked eggs shells or redbrick dust along the bottom of the door, and perhaps give your welcome mat (if you have one) a good cleaning as well.

Speaking of welcome mats, I like to write some boundaries on the back of mine, or on a piece of paper and place it under the mat, this way, if your mat says WELCOME, its not an open invitation for just anything.

You can then blow cinnamon into your door, saying an intention out loud, to further welcome abundance into your house.

Ever 3-6 months (cause I’m human who really dislikes cleaning) i give my windows a wash. I Spray them from the outside with my hose, repeating the processes I did with my door, and then come inside and use a window cleaning product so they dont’t streak, the windows are the eyes of the house, and we want to be able to see clearly. I then refresh any crystals or sigils I have marking my windows.

Immediately after these magically mundane tasks my house feels lighter and more inviting (to the energy I want).

Next clearing stuck energy from inside the home.

The next time you go to dust (this should always come first, if you are dusting that day/week/month/year I don’t judge) vacuum, mop or sweep your home I want you to think you are collecting all the negative stuck energy in your home and about to remove it. Lemon pledge is a great wood cleaner, but lemon also has clearing properties, so that little can you use to get a shine on wood and help you dust, can also be used as a clearing agent of negative energy!! Who would’ve thought!! Take a look at the cleaning agent you have in your home, are their botanical in there that you can look up their meaning and add a little magical sprinkle to your cleaning routine?

As you do your dusting and sweeping and mopping, do the 80/90’s mom thing and blast those tunes. Not only is sound a great way to break up stuck energy in the corner of your homes, but its a great way to get your feeling the energy you want to welcome into your home. Stop and ask yourself, “is it just because I accomplished something, and can see a difference in my home after I clean? Or perhaps its because I am raising the vibration of the home as I sing and dance, pulling energy from the ethers and my memories to welcome a high vibe in the house?” I promise you its a little bit of both.

Finally, once a month or so, I like to take a look around my house and clear out any object that no longer work, or are no longer of use to me. Holding onto these objects only creates clutter, which can creating an energy sucking portal in the house and mind. If you have unpacked boxes thinking about the mental and physical space they are holding for you.. Its time to let that go. Donate, sell or throw that shit out!!

These are all ways I take the time to energetically reset my house. Sometimes I do this on the last or first day of the month, under a new moon or a seasonal change. Its honestly doesn’t matter. What matters is the attention and intention you bring to these tasks, letting yourself and your home know that you (it ) are worth the tender loving care of being tended to and protected.

Give it a try the next time you get a cleaning bug and let me know how you felt after.

Be Well Witches,
