It is that time of year – suddenly it isn’t quite so dark when the kids walk to the bus, and my ears aren’t freezing by the time I get back to my kitchen. And in what feels like a miracle, sun is streaming through my windows. Has it literally been raining or snowing since August??
Paired with these wonderful changes also comes a sense that WOW we’ve been holed up in this house a bit! And holy mackerel it is muddy everywhere! This is the impetus for spring cleaning! Time to shake out the rugs, put away the wool hats, and lighten things up!
This is a fantastic time to take note of the energy of your household. Is it time to make some adjustments, add some support, or just do a general clearing? Here are my tips for spring cleaning the energy of your house:
1) DUST: Get rid of dust in hard to reach places, shake out and fluff everything! Digging deep when cleaning moves energy around your home.
2) BURN SAGE: While cleaning, BURN SAGE. Burn enough so that you need to open windows afterwards. Sage clears stuck energy, absorbs EMFs, and kills bacteria!
3) CREATE AN ALTAR AND PICK CRYSTALS: If you don’t already have one, set up an altar in your home in a central place where everyone will see it. Sit quietly in your newly dusted and saged home and ask yourself what you need for your family/home for the next few months. What are your goals and how can you support those goals. Pick crystals, candles, and essential oils that reflect those things. If you need help, consult a crystal therapist or an aromatherapy practitioner.
In my house, we are having a lot of seasonal transition (one sport ending and another beginning, clubs and activities changing at school), so my altar has a large rainbow fluorite on it to help us get clarity through transition. I also have a large piece of selenite with clear quartz to recharge the fluorite so it doesn’t get bogged down. The clear quartz amplifies the selenites energy. Fluorite is also great for allergy sufferers (two of my kids have terrible seasonal allergies)
Bringing intention to seasonal transitions can help everyone in the family feel more at ease and relaxed. Bringing intentionality to the energy of your home is a wonderful gift to give your loved ones!
