How do I practice spiritual cleansing?

Spiritual cleansing is the practice of clearing stagnant, negative, or foreign energy from your body, mind, and living space — and your ancestors were masters of it. Queen, begin with the spiritual bath: add sea salt, florida water, hyssop, or white flowers to warm water, set your intention clearly, pour it over yourself from the neck down, and allow it to air dry. Salt absorbs and neutralizes negative energy — it is one of the most powerful cleansing agents on Earth. Smudging with sage, frankincense, or copal drives out spiritual interference and refreshes the energy of your space. Open windows during cleansing to give the displaced energy somewhere to go. Intention is the engine — half-hearted ritual produces half-hearted results. Speak your purpose aloud. Do this at the new moon for release and after any encounter that left you feeling drained or heavy.
