Cleanse Room through Intention and Meditation

1. Create a clear intention for the outcome of neutralizing the energy in the room, and write it on a piece of paper. Focus on how you want to feel in the room when the cleansing is complete. Choose words that feel energizing to you. For example, you might write "I intend to fill the room with energy that is balanced and freely moving" or "clean and full of positive energy."

2. After assuring you will be uninterrupted, find a relaxing position in the room and hold your written intention in your hands. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath by focusing on the sensation of inhaling and exhaling. Continue focusing on your breath and bring your attention into your body, noticing how it feels to be positioned the way you are, and move to make yourself more comfortable if needed. Allow yourself to relax while breathing consciously throughout the room cleansing.

3. Energize your body by feeling the life energy in different parts of your body, starting with you hands. Focus your attention on your hands and concentrate on feeling the life energy. You may notice tingling, warmth, coolness, or other sensations. Move your attention to feel the energy in your arms, neck, head, chest, torso, abdomen, legs, and feet. As you feel the energy inside of you, notice how peaceful and alive you feel.

4. Imagine your breath coming in as pure, white light from the Source of Life. Allow the light to fill the room while you exhale and focus on the intention for the room cleansing. Pay attention to any sensations of warmth, coolness, or visual images or colors that come up as you cleanse the energy of the room and enjoy the experience. Feel the energy inside of your body brightening and flowing out to cleanse and fill all corners of the room and its contents. Notice a renewed feeling of aliveness in yourself and the room with each breath you take. Continue this part of the meditation for as long you feel it is necessary to cleanse yourself and the room.

5. When you feel complete, take a moment to sit in the cleansing energy. Express your appreciation and enjoy the balanced energy of the room. Repeat the meditation whenever you are feeling low in energy or notice stagnant energy in your living or work space.

Tips & Warnings

• If this is your first time doing a cleansing meditation, practice with yourself first. When you feel confident in your personal life energy and the light energy of your Source, proceed to cleansing a room.

• If you get distracted by thoughts, feelings, or anything else, bring your attention back to your breathing to center and focus on your intention.

• If you need assistance with meditation or cleansing a room of negative energies, consult a minister or someone who facilitates meditation, healing, or spiritual or energy work.

• You can also cleanse a room from negative energies with white sage, which is called smudging.

• Do not imagine any negative energy coming into your body or energy space. Instead, allow your pure, cleansed energy to transform any negative energy in the space as described. Allowing negative energy in can result in unease, low energy, or illness.
