Energy Hygiene 101: Cleansing Your Aura, Home & Crystals

Just as you clean your body, clothes, and living space, your energy field needs regular care. In our fast-paced lives, we constantly absorb emotions, thoughts, and energies—our own and others'. This can create energetic clutter that leaves us feeling tired, anxious, unfocused, or "off."

At Rassa Reiki, we believe that energy hygiene is the foundation of emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Whether you're new to energy healing or on a deeper spiritual path, learning to cleanse your aura, home, and crystals is essential to protect your peace, clarity, and vitality.

Let’s explore how.

 

What Is Energy Hygiene?

Energy hygiene is the practice of regularly clearing stagnant, heavy, or negative energies from your field (aura), environment, and tools (like crystals). It helps you feel lighter, more grounded, and energetically refreshed.

Symptoms of energetic buildup include:

•              Mood swings or emotional heaviness

•              Brain fog or trouble focusing

•              Physical fatigue or restlessness

•              Difficulty sleeping or feeling ungrounded

•              Feeling energetically “off” without explanation

Just as dust builds up on surfaces, energy builds up in our field. Cleansing clears it out.

 

1. Cleansing Your Aura

Your aura is the energy field that surrounds your body. It can get congested from emotional stress, toxic interactions, or environmental factors.

How to Cleanse Your Aura:

•              Smudging with Sage: Light a sage bundle and gently wave it around your body from head to toe. Focus on areas that feel heavy.

•              Selenite Wand: Sweep a selenite wand 6 inches away from your body, especially over your head, heart, and back.

•              Salt Baths (Optional for non-necklace wearers): Add Himalayan or Epsom salt to warm water. Soak for 15–20 minutes to detox energetically.

•              Distance Reiki or Meditation: Use visualisation or guided sessions to cut cords and reset your energetic boundaries.

How Often? 1–2 times a week, or after intense emotional interactions.

 

2. Cleansing Your Home

Your home holds energetic imprints—from arguments, stress, electronics, and even guests. Without clearing, this energy stagnates and can affect your mood, relationships, and sleep.

How to Cleanse Your Home:

•              Sage or Palo Santo: Burn and walk around the house in a clockwise motion. Open windows to let old energy out.

•              Crystal Grids: Place Black Tourmaline, Selenite, or Amethyst in corners for protection and cleansing.

•              Sound Cleansing: Use a singing bowl, chimes, or clapping to break up stuck energy.

•              Salt Bowls: Place small bowls of sea salt in corners to absorb negativity. Replace weekly.

Tip: Always set an intention like, “Only peace and positivity remain.”

 

3. Cleansing & Charging Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy and need regular cleansing to function at their best. If your crystal feels dull, heavy, or less effective, it may be energetically clogged.

How to Cleanse Your Crystals:

•              Sage or Incense: Pass your crystals through the smoke for 30–60 seconds.

•              Selenite Plate: Place your crystals on a selenite plate overnight. Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal that also purifies others.

•              Moonlight: Place your crystals under the full moon overnight for natural recharging. Especially good for emotional stones like Moonstone or Amethyst.

•              Sound Healing: Use tuning forks or singing bowls to raise the vibration of your stones.

Note: Avoid water for soft or metal-based crystals like selenite or necklaces to prevent damage or tarnishing.

 

Why Energy Hygiene Matters

Regular energy cleansing:

•              Protects you from emotional burnout

•              Supports deeper intuition and focus

•              Enhances the effectiveness of healing tools like crystals and affirmations

•              Aligns you with a lighter, more authentic version of yourself

Just like brushing your teeth or tidying your space, it becomes easier with practice, and the results are undeniable.
