Once you have your intention, create an affirmation that you can repeat while you are clearing the space. For example, As I clear clutter in my office, I welcome in abundance and creativity. Visualize your space being filled with light and new, fresh energy as you clear.
Approach this entire process with gratitude. Every object in your space has served a purpose, and whether you decide to keep, donate, recycle or discard it, acknowledging its role in your journey is powerful.
Remember that energy can neither be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed. What you release with love and gratitude returns to you in new and greater forms. Releasing items is not about loss but about creating space for transformation, growth, and elevation. Releasing with intention helps ensure that we aren’ t just moving things around, but truly making space for something better to enter.
Energetically clearing the space can be done using a variety of ways, including:
• Saging: Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to clear negative or stagnant energy. As you walk through your space, say a blessing or prayer, asking for renewal and protection.
• Sound: Use singing bowls, chimes, or even clapping to break up dense energy and invite a fresh vibrational shift.
• Fresh Air & Sunlight: Open your windows and allow natural elements to cleanse and refresh your home. The sun’ s rays are naturally purifying and help dispel heavy energy.
• Essential Oils & Natural Scents: Diffuse citrus, lavender, or eucalyptus oils to uplift the energy of your space. Each scent carries its own spiritual properties— citrus for joy, lavender for peace, and eucalyptus for clarity.

2. Cleanse the Energy:

Once physical clutter is removed, it’ s important to cleanse the energetic residue left behind. Objects and spaces absorb energy, and even after decluttering, stagnant energy may linger. Energetically clearing the space ensures that your environment is not only physically lighter but spiritually refreshed as well.
• Water Blessing: Wipe down surfaces with water infused with a few drops of essential oils or herbs. You can also bless the water beforehand with an affirmation like,“ May this space be cleansed and renewed.”
Our homes and personal spaces need regular energetic cleaning. Clearing our spaces in this way ensures that the energy within aligns with the fresh start, amplifying the energy of the changing seasons.
