Items:
Sea salt
A bathtub (or shower)
Your favorite essential oils (optional)
Ground and Center. While drawing a bath hold a handful of sea salt in your power hand for the span of three deep breaths. (If you are showering then you will place the sea salt (and oils) into a small pouch made from a thin natural cloth.) Pour the salt into the bath water with the intent to create a
healing/cleansing environment and say:
"By Salt of Sea, I call to me,
And set in motion, This tiny ocean,
Whose briny deep, Shall cleanse and keep
All evil deflected, My soul protected..."
Add your essential oils if you are using them and get into the bath. As you bathe, allow yourself to relax. Imagine that the stress, pain, anxiety or
curse is being 'drawn' from you like poison and being neutralized by the salt. When you feel ready, drain the tub imagining the neutralized energy flowing back to the ocean to be recycled.
Cleansing A Space (simple version)
Items:
A sage bundle
A white candle
Ground and Center. Begin to feel inner power. Light candle with the intention to purify the area. Allow the candle flame to resonate with your inner power. Breathe into it then light the bundle of sage until it smolders.
'Smudge' the area by walking the perimeter of the area, making sure that one window (or door) remains open as an exit point for negativity. Make sure that the smoke gets into the corners of the room and take extra time on windows and doors. If a strong negative presence resides in a particular area take some time to really fumigate that area with the smoke. When you have completed
walking the perimeter you may extinguish the sage or allow it to burn out. After you feel the rite is complete, extinguish the candle.
