Not all smoke is created equal

Depending on the specifics of your clearing needs, you might want to consider different types of herbs and incense to get a boost from their varied properties.

Our favorite is Rosemary for a general clearing. This is what we use regularly in the store. With all the types of energies that enter that space, you need a good all around choice! During meditation and when clearing for spiritual and intuitive growth, consider Mugwort as an herb, or Frankincense as a good choice for incense. Cedar does a great job for grounding and emotional support as its known for its comforting properties. If you're looking for clarity in the mental space and energy, Eucalyptus can give a real energetic lift.

Not into smoke?

A room spray is an easy alternative for clearing your space. There are room spray equivalents for most herb and incense options that are easy to buy, but making your own is a magical and personalized option! All it takes is a small 2 oz. empty spray bottle, 12 drops of your favorite cleansing essential oil - just one or a combination, 1/4 tsp of sea salt, 1 tbsp vodka or witch hazel, and the remainder of the bottle filled with distilled water. Shake it up, dissolve the salt, and you've got a custom clearing spray.

Other alternatives:

Sound practices are another powerful way to shift energy in your environment. A singing bowl works beautifully for this purpose, but alternatives like bells, singing, chanting, clapping, or drumming can all help clear stagnant energy. It’s all about vibration, and each sound has the potential to transform the energy around you.

And of course, when it comes to clearing energy, crystals are an absolute must! We’ve handpicked some of our favorite crystals that work wonders for this purpose:

Selenite is known as a powerful energy cleanser, selenite clears negative energy and purifies spaces, making it perfect for energy healing and setting a peaceful atmosphere.

Black Tourmaline is excellent for grounding and protection. It absorbs and transforms negative energy into positive energy, making it a strong ally for clearing spaces.

Clear quartz is a master healer and amplifier of energy. It can be used to clear and purify any space and is known for its ability to magnify the properties of other crystals.

Amethyst is known for its calming and healing properties. It purifies the energy in a space, and its soothing vibration can help remove stress and negative influences.

Smoky quartz is great for grounding and removing negative energy. It's particularly useful for transmuting low-vibrational energies and promoting a sense of calm.

Citrine is a stone of abundance and positivity. It helps to clear out negative energy and replace it with a sense of joy and vitality, making it a wonderful crystal for uplifting spaces.

Fluorite has cleansing and healing properties and is often used to clear negative energies, especially in environments with chaotic or scattered energy.

Labradorite is known for its protective qualities and ability to clear energetic blockages. It helps raise consciousness and strengthens the aura.

These crystals can be placed around the room, held during meditation, or used in combination with sound practices for maximum energy clearing.
