I have been a student of metaphysics and spiritualism for over fifty years. I had a church / school in South Florida for a long time and taught many subjects. I was asked for a simple home cleansing ritual that anyone can do. This is what I taught so many years ago. Print yourself a copy of these instructions so you can follow along easily. Familiarize yourself with the instructions beforehand to keep an even flow to the prayers.
- First, clear your time and space. Choose a time when you can be free to do the work, without distractions or interruptions; alone, and that does include your animals. Pre-arrange some alone time, turn off the phone, and concentrate on your objective.
- Set out a portable white candle (with lighter) and a small container of sea or kosher salt.
- When ready to proceed, light the candle safely, welcoming the light it represents. You will be carefully carrying the candle as you distribute the light. Safety first!
- I begin by purifying myself, on getting MYSELF, the healing instrument, as clear and clean as possible. Use the white light chant provided below on yourself with the intention of clearing and healing your own energy. Stay focused and concentrate on being a clear and confident channel for the healing energy. Become the clear channel! Say the full chant three times, with conviction, before you move to the next step: your house.
- You will walk from room to room, continually chanting. Begin at your main entrance and individually and thoroughly cleanse each room with the white light chant, one room at a time, using the natural flow of entrances and exits. Continually chanting, clear each compartment of your home carefully. Remember this is a live candle flame, respect that! Holding the candle safely, extend your arm and slowly and gently flow the healing side to side in a circular motion, front to back, top to bottom, and all around each section. Gently is key, (too fast and you blow out your own candle!). Pay particular attention to entrances and exits, windows, or natural openings, such as a chimney. (See notes for other possibilities to cleanse and seal.)
- When you are done with individual rooms, then do the whole home as a single unit, same procedure. That includes your garage.
- Then reach out to your vehicles, all of them (whether physically present or absent), same chant, encircling the totality of your vehicles. Fill them with light!
- Next walk out in your yard and do the totality of your whole property, edge to edge, corner to corner, from below the ground to the sky overhead, and back to the ground. Fill all with white light. Sometimes I walk the perimeter to be thorough.
- Next, set the still lit candle in a safe place and pick up your salt container. For each opening sprinkle a few grains of salt to seal in the healing. Start with your main door and step. Chant, “Only white light can come to me; only white light may enter my home and life.” The light is the clearing, the salt is the sealing. As you lightly salt (few grains) your property, know you are barring entrance to potential negativity. (Note that you might encounter some unusual reactions.)
Can’t be alone? If this is a first time, alone is best. After that first time you will know what you are doing. If not alone, first cleanse yourself, then protect any animals present with the light. Cleanse any other person present and see them surrounded in the light. Then start on cleansing your home. Once you have done the whole ritual and understand what is involved, you can allow animals or another person in. I prefer to work with an empty house, and to teach an individual directly, and not accidentally (not wise).
Notes:
- Rooms: kitchens, bathrooms, porches, garages, hallways, laundry rooms, garages, everything! Repeating: In the large rooms (you are holding a lit candle) stand in one central place and hold out the candle corner to corner, circle the room wall to wall, circle the room floor to ceiling to floor, including the smaller areas of space such as a closet. Then include ALL your house in one chanting.
- Vehicles can be of all types. I’ve done bicycles!
- Do every opening into your home that you can see. Widows and doors are obvious. Any piece of furniture with a door, kitchen cabinets, vents, air chutes (like the dryer), sink and tub / shower openings, toilets, washer, dryers, dishwashers, attic crawl spaces, garage, etc. could be openings; seal them with the salt, repeating the statement. You can collectively do a whole room with one prayer and a few grains of salt. Your intent, which is the power behind the ritual, is the healing and sealing. Mirrors can be a psychic doorway, so cleanse each mirror. Lightly salt and seal your whole house. Sprinkle a few grains of salt to seal your car.
- Give grateful thanks that only white light can come to you and through that home. The quality of your ritual provides the quality of the healing.
- Do not blow out the candle, snuff out the candle by cutting off the oxygen. You are done.
- Follow up? Remember NOT to allow negativity into your home by inviting it in. That is the only way it can get in. You would have to do this over again if you were silly enough to do that. While not difficult to do, this is time and attention consuming.
- If you practice the American Indian teachings, you can use the sage cleansing ritual instead of the candle and white light. Sage smudging is also a powerful cleanser.
This white light chant is from Summit Lighthouse’s Decrees by Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Chant (rhythm) or say with conviction:
“I am light, glowing light, radiating light, intensified light
God consumes my darkness, transmuting it into light.
This day I AM a focus of the great central sun.
Flowing through me is a crystal river, a living fountain of light
That can never be qualified by any human thought or feeling.
I AM an outpost of the Divine.
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up by the mighty river of light which I AM.
I AM, I AM, I AM light
I live, I live, I live in light.
I AM light’s fullest dimension.
I AM light’s purest intention.
I AM light, light, light,
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing, strengthening and conveying the purpose of the kingdom of heaven.”
