How to Sage Your Space

I still remember the first time I saw someone waving a sage stick on TV to cleanse their new home. I was intrigued and curious, what did it mean to cleanse a space? That moment sent me down a path of woo-woo practices, discovering energy clearing rituals and eventually developing my own home cleansing practice.

Now, I use this ritual often:

  • After conflict or emotional stress
  • When I’m anxious, restless or having trouble sleeping
  • When my kids feel extra wild and the house feels chaotic
  • After guests leave or before new ones arrive
  • When launching a new project or seeking clarity
  • When I need to reconnect with God, my intuition, or higher guidance

The energy of a space matters more than we think. When your home feels off, it makes sense that your body does too. 

This house cleansing ritual was designed to be simple. This isn’t just about clearing clutter at the end of the day, it’s about clearing energetic residue so you can feel grounded and at peace in your home.

Smoke Cleansing Element

Sage bundle: Light a bundled sage wand and gently blow out the flame. Let the smoke waft as you move from room to room. You may hold the bundle as a wand or lay it in a fire-proof dish to waft as you walk. Use your hand (or a fan) to guide the smoke into corners and around entryways. Hold your crystal as you repeat the affirmations.

Crystals

Selenite- This crystal helps clear stagnant energy and reset the vibration of a space. Hold it as you walk, or place it in key areas to anchor calm and clarity.

Affirmations

Choose one, or layer them to match your intention:

  • I release what no longer belongs in this space.
  • This home is a reflection of peace and presence.
  • I create space for clarity, beauty and calm.
