This could be the longest article ever, but I'm keeping it short and simple for now. There are a lot of things we can do to clean out the inside of ourselves along with our outer environment, and ultimately we benefit ourselves and everyone around us!
Take just 15 min. a day to clear your energy
5 min. physical
4 min. attitude of gratitude
3 min. meditation
2 min. silence1 min. deep breathing
My cleansing ritual: (April 4 is both a full moon and lunar eclipse, so a great day to clean out the old!)
Clean like a fiend. Your house should be spotless, and you should be showered in fresh clothing.
Start at the front door : Sea salt=earth, water, sage=air, lit candle and say out loud with each one:
Spirits of (Earth, air, fire, water) where thou art cast,
Let no spell or incantation last
Not in complete covenant with me
As I will it, so it shall be.
Use lemon oil in olive oil and anoint the candle as well as all doorways and windows. Use can use a cross (do it all three sides) or whatever you choose (Pentagram, special symbol, whatever).
Each time, recite a blessing-
A prayer, just ask for the blessings of the gods, goddesses or your deity of choice to bless all that enter or exit this space with (love, peace, calm, health, etc.)
Go through each room reciting the "spell" 4 times for each of the elements. Anoint each of the entrances and windows. Anoint each person.
Do this for the full moon monthly if you can, or at least seasonally!!

Meditation:
Creation is meditation. Learn a new art or hobby, learn to cook, focus on something positive that makes you feel good. Be creative, even if you're the only one who likes it. I once took a clay-working course just to make penises all semester to drive my professor crazy (he loved it). It was so much fun! My artwork isn't going in any museum, but I still smile when I look at them!
Bring in fresh fruits, fresh flowers, new books, pictures, stones or create a full altar for yourself! Bring in new clothes and sell or donate old ones! Get a new hairstyle or go for that new job! It's a time to start all kinds of things new!
Go plant something or play in the dirt. They have actually recently found antidepressant properties in soil that transfers to humans when we get our hands or bare feet in the soil. Earthing is just about you getting in the soil, in the grass, feeling the sun hit you and go through you to the Mother. Reconnect to the planet.
Even I have a plan for new things...I have a new website I'm building for Spaced Out Radio. I have a new grandchild on the way. I'll be making a major move. I'll be starting a creativity-based business. And I'm even changing my hair finally! It's been years!
Do something new and bring in the Spring with an open and loving heart. I promise you'll feel better if you just TRY.
