Spring cleaning ritual and recipe.





Spring cleaning is one thing. But a spring cleaning ritual will change how you manifest and energetically cleanse forever.

Right after the spring equinox I like to use this waning moon to clean out the old to welcome in new opportunities and attract the goals I have set for the year ahead. 


Here is how I like to do a full spiritual spring cleaning ritual. For ideas on herbs and oils please see the bottom of the page.

  1. Start by lighting a candle, scented candles will add a beautiful smell to your home. 
  2. Before I clean I also like to journal and brain dump all of the information that is running around in my head, and then set out my intention and goals for the year ahead. This will also then help us to set intentions into our cleaning ritual.
  3. After this I create a simmer pot. A simmer pot is a boiling pot of water with natural ingredients that we are going to create with the intention that we will be manifesting our goals for this year. 
  4. To set your intention simply take 3 deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, and then close your eyes and you can either speak out loud, or imagine what it is you are attracting and feel the emotions you would feel if you had it now.
  5. I then use this mixture to wipe down my windows which I have explained bellow.
                                    

                                 


Moving onto the surfaces, then the floor before using a smoke or other energetic cleansing method. Bellow I have explained in detail how you can spring clean your home.


Simmer Pot 


  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, you can also use a cauldron if you have one.
  • Place your intention into your herbs and ingredients, you can do this before using your mortar and pestle, during/ as you place them in, or afterwards while the potion is boiling.
  • Once you have set your intention into the pot, turn down and allow the mix to simmer for around 40 minutes to 1 hour if possible, meanwhile you can start to organise your draws and clean your physical space.

My Simmer Pot

1 small or medium navel orange or lemon
1/2 cup fresh cranberries or juniper berries
1-3 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
3 bay leaves or a pine or rosemary sprig or lemon leaf
1 whole star anise (optional)
Tbs chamomile
Tbs lavender
10 Drops orange, grapefruit, peppermint or lavender essential oil (optional)

After this time, strain your mixture, and use it to wipe down your windows or window and door frames. This is to welcome in that energy you placed into the potion and to keep out any negativity. 

Next we will create our carpet deodoriser/ freshener while this pot is simmering.


      Carper Freshener

  • 1/2 cup baking soda/ bicarb
  • Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 20 drops essential oil

  • Mix all of your chosen ingredients into a bowl or into a shaker (add a small dash of the simmer pot mixture optional) stirring anti clockwise to banish, or clockwise to attract.
  • Sprinkle the mixture onto your carpet, focusing on your intention, and leave for 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile you can make your surface and floor cleaner.
  • After 15-30 minutes, Hoover the mixture up imagining you are removing any negative thoughts and vibes within that area of your home.
  • Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin

While the carpet freshener is working, you can make your surface cleaner and clean off your sides.


Surface Cleaner

  • Choose your ingredients if you want to change or add any and mix them in with some of the simmer pot potion mixture. Feel free to use a spray bottle.


  • One part white vinegar
  • 1 Tbs Castile soap (optional)
  • Half part water
  • Half part simmer pot potion
  • 8-10 drops essential oil

                               


  • Wipe down your sides in a clockwise motion to attract your manifestations.
  • Don't forget to wipe down every surface including your skirting boards.
  • Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.


 Floor Cleaner

  • Before cleaning your floor you can use a broom/besom to energetically sweep out any negative energy. Use anti clockwise motions to banish and remove a build up of energy and sweep it out of the door of your home, and then a clockwise motion to attract (optional).
         
  • One part white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of baking soda 
  • Half part water
  • Half part simmer pot potion
  • 5-8 drops essential oil
          
  • Next you may want to hoover your home and hoover up the carpet freshener to imagining you are removing any negative energy with it.
  • Mix your chosen ingredients in with some of the simmer pot potion mixture. Then mop in a clock wise motion to attract, or anti clockwise to banish.
  • Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin

Energetic Cleanse

  • Finally you can choose to smoke cleanse, or use another method if preferred. 
  • Open all windows 
  • Work from the top of your house down to the front door or if you don't have stairs then work clockwise around your home starting and ending with the front door.
  • Tell any negative or stagnant energy to leave out of the windows and doors.
  • Close your windows.




Herbal ideas.

Feel free to research further and use anything that calls to you. I don't recommend keeping the mixtures so to discard simply pour outside of your property or down the toilet as long as you don't add any chemicals.


Oils





Enjoy your new, fresh, energetically cleansed home.
Happy Spring.
