Steps
- Make a spiritual place for yourself. This can be inside, outside, or anywhere that is your happy place. It should speak to you. It can be an elaborate alter or just a small place outside where you can light a candle.
- Pick up the following: incense, candles, a pillow to sit on, some sage, an egg and a bowl. Sage is really important. Also, matches to light everything. Bring a blanket to sit on if you are outside.
- Sit down in your spiritual space and begin to light your candles and incense. Begin to quiet your mind and ask your deity to listen and help cleanse your spirit.
- Put your hands in your lap and begin to scan your body. Where are you carrying tension? Is your heart heavy?
- Turn your mind inward. What is troubling you? What is going on in your life that is hurting your spirit? Examples of this could be negative people, a traumatic experience or just a bunch of stress. Whatever this is, concentrate on the feelings. Really feel these emotions. This can be uncomfortable.
- Take the egg in your right hand (still feeling these emotions), and put it on your forehead. While you concentrate on these feelings begin to imagine that they are slowly seeping from your head to the egg. Really concentrate and put all of your negative emotions into the egg. Make sure all of them are placed into the egg.
- Take the egg (still feeling all of those heavy thoughts in the egg) and then squash them in the bowl. This is very satisfying.
- Take the sage and light it. Wave it around and really get it into the air. Make sure you get it around your head and heart area. Once you are done, put the sage out.
- Now lay down. Relax your whole body. Start from your tippy toes and concentrate on one body part at a time. Don't forget small body parts like your jaw and your finger tips. Pretend like your body is sinking into the floor in deep relaxation.
- Relax your mind. Quiet your mind. Just lay there in your happy place. Pretend that your body is melting into the ground. There is no tension. Your body should feel like butter!
- While you are laying there, begin to communicate with your deity. If you do not believe in a god, that is OK. Ask for a blessing from the divine and for your soul to become less burdened.
- When you are ready to get up, do so. Feel how much lighter you feel.
Tips
- Take a little time for your soul everyday. Read something inspirational, go on a quiet walk, pray, meditate, etc.
- Do this exercise with an open mind.
Warnings
- If this exercise feels wrong to you, do not do it.
- If you are outside, make sure that you put out the candles and sage immediately following your cleansing.
