31: Energetic Home Cleansing Ritual for Moms, Clear Stagnant Energy and Align with Seasonal Flows
Spring Cleaning for the Soul: An Energetic Home Cleansing Ritual
In the whirlwind of motherhood, clutter and chaos often extend beyond the physical into the energetic. Monica, host of The Wand(HER)wild Podcast, recently shared her transformative experience with an energetic home cleanse. Inspired by an intuitive pull during a difficult season, Monica turned to ritual and energy work to revitalize the feeling of home. This blog explores how you can bring that same shift into your space, especially during seasonal transitions when we naturally crave renewal.
A Moment of Intuition
In August 2024, Monica felt an unshakable urge to perform a full energetic cleanse in her home. The air had felt heavy, likely the result of an emotionally challenging year filled with grief, trauma, and exhaustion. Trusting her intuition, she created a ritual that released stagnant energy and ushered in a lightness that deeply impacted not just her, but her entire family. The change in mood and emotional clarity was palpable.
"It just felt like a huge lift," she explained. "The whole space had brightened."
This shift reminded her of the sacred role home plays in our lives. It's not just a physical structure; it is the hearth of the family. In many cultures, the hearth is the heart of the home—a place where warmth, nourishment, and connection originate.
The Power of an Energetic Cleanse
Unlike traditional spring cleaning, an energetic cleanse doesn’t require scrubbing floors or organizing closets (though that can be helpful, too). This ritual focuses on the unseen: energy, emotion, and intention. It’s for clearing mental fog, emotional residue, and energetic clutter that lingers in our living spaces.
You don’t need to be spiritual or mystical to feel the effects of a heavy room or a tense corner in your house. Think of how some places feel instantly calming, while others feel draining. That sensation is your body reading energy. Over time, our spaces absorb what we go through—arguments, stress, loss, joy, dreams. A reset can open the door to renewed vitality and purpose.
When and Why to Cleanse
Monica recommends doing this ritual during seasonal shifts, particularly spring to summer or summer to autumn, when we naturally feel an urge to transition. The seasons offer a mirror for internal transformation. Just as nature sheds and blooms, so can we.
This practice is especially meaningful for mothers who spend so much time at home, navigating its many micro-worlds—kitchen, bedroom, playroom, creative space. When the home feels energetically aligned, it becomes a sanctuary that supports rather than drains.
What You Need
You can perform this ritual with nothing more than your hands and voice. However, if you’d like to layer in sensory tools, here are a few optional elements Monica suggests:
Broom – Symbolically sweeps away stagnant energy.
Bell or chime – Breaks up dense vibrations with sound.
Dried plant bundle – Sage, rosemary, lavender, or any herb that resonates with you. Use it to gently smoke the space (always safely and with ventilation).
Windows and doors open – A must. Fresh air helps to physically and energetically move energy out.
A Ritual That Evolves
The beauty of this energetic cleanse is that it evolves with you. Some days it may be deeply emotional. Other times it may feel playful or serene. Monica noted that her children, while too young to fully understand the depth of the practice, responded positively. The lightness in the air affected everyone.
While this is not a substitute for physical tidying, it complements it. You may find that after doing an energetic cleanse, you feel more motivated or emotionally ready to tackle deeper decluttering or rearranging.
How To Begin
As women, we often carry the emotional tone of the household. This practice is an invitation to recalibrate, to claim space not just for our kids but for our own energy to flow freely. When we are energetically well, so too are our homes.
Final Thoughts
Home is more than a place to sleep or eat. It is a living, breathing extension of our emotional and spiritual well-being. With the help of a simple ritual, you can restore flow, clarity, and joy to the spaces you dwell in most.
Spring cleaning, it turns out, isn’t just about closets and cupboards. It can be a soul-led act of intention, reflection, and renewal.
