The Ultimate Guide On How To Cleanse Your New Home
Moving into a new home is an exciting chapter in life. Whether it's freshly built or previously lived in, every home carries its own energy. Learning how to cleanse your new home with space clearing is essential to remove lingering energies and create a harmonious, high-vibrational space for you and your family. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to revitalize your new home using powerful energy-cleansing techniques.
A Personal Journey: Why We Love Helping People with Space Clearing
Growing up, we moved frequently, always adapting to new spaces and making each one our own. From Brazil to New York to several places in Germany, to the UK (where my mother now lives). This pattern followed me into adulthood, as I embraced a nomadic lifestyle, continuously moving into new homes, apartments, and even temporary stays. With every move, I developed a deeper understanding of how spaces hold energy—both from previous occupants and from the land itself.
This experience is why I am so passionate about helping others transition into their new homes with clarity, peace, and positive energy. Moving can be stressful, but learning how to cleanse your new home helps create a sanctuary where you feel at home from day one.
Why Space Clearing is Essential When Moving Into a New Home
Every space holds energetic imprints from previous occupants, events, and even emotional experiences. If you’ve ever walked into a room and felt an unexplainable heaviness or discomfort, you’ve sensed the lingering energy of the past. This is why cleansing your new home is crucial. It helps:
Release past energies from previous occupants, arguments, or hardships.
Restore balance by aligning the space with your personal energy and intentions.
Enhance well-being by ensuring a fresh start in a space that feels vibrant and welcoming.
Support manifestation by setting the stage for prosperity, love, and happiness.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Cleanse Your New Home
Step 1: Set Your Intention
Begin by defining what you want your home to embody—peace, love, protection, or abundance. Take a moment to visualize your desired energy and say a simple affirmation, like:
"I cleanse this home of all past energies and welcome joy, love, and positivity into this space."
Step 2: Invite Fresh Air
Open your windows and doors to let fresh air circulate. This simple step allows stagnant energies to flow out while welcoming vibrant new energy.
Step 3: Smudge with Sage or Palo Santo
Smudging is a traditional and powerful method of cleansing your new home.
How to smudge: Light a sage bundle or Palo Santo stick until it begins to produce smoke. Gently waft the smoke throughout each room, focusing on corners and doorways where negative energy can accumulate. In case you want to use white sage, please make sure it's ethically sourced as we describe in our blog here.
Visualization: Imagine the smoke lifting away anything unwanted, replacing it with pure, positive energy.
Step 4: Cleanse with Salt and Water
Salt purification: Sprinkle sea salt in the corners of each room and leave it for a few hours before sweeping or vacuuming it away.
Water cleansing: Mix sea salt or essential oils like lavender or rosemary with water and wipe down surfaces to purify them energetically.
Step 5: Use Sound Energy
If you are into sound healing and already have the tools try it! Sound vibrations break up stagnant energy:
Ring a bell, chime Tibetan singing bowls, or play high-frequency music (such as 432 Hz or 528 Hz).
Walk through your home, paying attention to areas that feel heavier and lingering there a bit longer with the sound.
Step 6: Place Crystals Strategically
Healing crystals are excellent for maintaining balanced and positive energy in your home. Place them in different areas of your space. You can use them intuitively or pick the ones we recommend below:
Step 7: Diffuse Essential Oils
Aromatherapy is a simple way to uplift your home’s energy and mood. Diffuse oils like frankincense, sage, lemon, or peppermint. For quick bursts of energy-cleansing fragrance, mix a few drops of your favorite oil into water and spritz around the house.
Step 8: Light Candles
Candles add warmth and a sense of tranquility to your space. Light candles in key areas, visualizing them dissolving any lingering negativity while radiating light and positivity.
Step 9: Declutter and Organize
Clutter inhibits energy flow. Ideally you already decluttered before moving in. But in case you haven't, take the opportunity to declutter your new home. A tidy, well-organized home naturally promotes serenity and a smooth flow of energy.
Step 10: Bless Your Space with Positive Energy
Infuse your home with love and good vibes by:
Writing down hopes and wishes for your home and placing them in a dedicated spot like an altar.
Inviting loved ones over to fill your home with laughter and joy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
