In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel drained, overwhelmed, or burdened by the energy around us. Energy clearing is a powerful self-care practice that helps release energetic blockages, restore balance, and support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Just as daily bathing keeps your body fresh and clean, regular energy clearing ensures your energy field stays vibrant and balanced. This simple practice supports emotional well-being, physical vitality, and spiritual alignment.

Energy Clearing Tools and Techniques

There are many tools and techniques to cleanse your energy and restore harmony. Below, you’ll find some of my favorite energy-clearing tools and techniques. These are simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into your self-care routine to help you feel clear, grounded, and centered.

These tools help release energetic debris from both your personal field and physical environment. They’re great for everyday use and especially helpful during times of stress, following upsetting events, or whenever you feel “off.” Use them as soon as possible when stress levels are high and increase the frequency as needed.

1. Sea Salt Baths: A Simple Tool for Energy Cleansing

There’s nothing quite like a good salt bath to clear your energy. Sea salt is a natural magnet for dense energy, helping you release energetic blockages and stress. Here’s how to create your own clearing ritual:

• Fill your tub with warm water and add one cup of sea salt** or Himalayan salt (without iodine).
• Soak for at least 15 minutes, letting the salt do its magic.
• When you’re done, drain the tub and rinse off under the shower to remove any lingering salt or energy.

I recommend salt baths after a stressful day or anytime you’ve received body or energy work. They’re a beautiful way to relax your body, release tension, and feel refreshed. No bathtub? A sea salt scrub in the shower works just as well.

**NOTE: Avoid table salt, as it contains additives not suited for energy work.

2. Smudge Clearing Ceremony:

For those sensitive to smoke, a smokeless smudge spray is a great alternative. Serenity Achieved makes a wonderful smokeless smudge, which I highly recommend – it is available online.

**Note: If using sacred herbs such as white sage or Palo Santo, be mindful to source them ethically and use with respect for the traditions they originate from.

3. Epsom Salt & Rubbing Alcohol for a Deep Clean:

This is one of the most powerful cleansing methods I know. It’s like a spring cleaning for your energy field and space. Here’s how to do it:

• Place a small mound of Epsom salt in a stainless-steel pot/pan (perhaps around a 1/4 cup). (Make sure the pan does not have any type of coating on it.)
  • I recommend picking one up at a thrift shop – it will get charred, so you don’t want to use one of your good pots.
• Soak the salt with rubbing alcohol (70% or higher), just enough to wet it, and light it with a long match or long handled lighter.
• Although you can carry the pot around the room (carefully, using a potholder), I recommend sitting it in a safe place near the center to burn. Let the salt burn out completely before continuing.
  • Do not leave the burning pot unattended.
• Once it burns out, rinse the salt down the drain.
• Burn one pot per room.

Be cautious! The flames can rise, and the container gets very hot. Always prioritize safety. Once the salt has burned out, you’ll notice the space feels lighter and clearer.

Burn a second pot if the energy has not fully shifted. I like to sit nearby while it burns to clear my own energy field, too.

Never leave this unattended, and keep it away from flammable items.

4. Essential Oils:

You can also add essential oils to your salt bath to help clear your energy and relax your body. Use oils that resonate with you and always follow safety guidelines when diffusing or applying them.

5. Clearing and Sealing the Auric Field:

This is one of my favorite tools for clearing the energy field and creating strong energetic boundaries. Created by my mentor, Elizabeth Frediani, this practice is found in her book, “Where Body Meets Soul: Subtle Energy Healing Practices for Physical and Spiritual Self-Care”.  This practice helps to strengthen your energetic boundaries, clears your field, helps you learn to recognize your own energy vs. others. Through this practice, you also learn how to better filter out the energies of others. For copy write reasons, I cannot post it here, but I highly recommend purchasing the book. It is filled with powerful energetic self-care practices.

6. Energy Clearing Statement:

If you feel you may be carrying energy from others or the collective, this is a quick tool to help release it. Simply say this clearing statement aloud: “All that is not mine, or does not serve my highest purpose, I freely and willingly give back to the Universe to be transmuted as is appropriate and in accordance with Sacred and Divine Law.”

7. Triple Grid:

The Triple Grid is an angelic invocation that calls on team of angelic beings to clear your home, workspace, or other spaces. It then infuses desired energy into those spaces, and then creates a protective grid around it. The Triple Grid was originally published in “What is Lightbody“.

Setting Up Your Energy Hygiene Routine

Creating and following a regular energy hygiene routine helps you stay clear, steady, and more connected to yourself day to day. It doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple practices that you use consistently can go a long way in supporting your energetic well-being.

Start with one or two tools you’re naturally drawn to and give yourself space to experiment. Notice what works best for you—and when. From there, build them into your routine. That might mean taking a salt bath after a long day, using a clearing spray before bed, or saying a simple clearing statement as you transition out of your workday.

Pay attention to what feels supportive in different moments. Some practices may be more helpful during stressful times, while others fit more easily into daily life. Let your routine be flexible and responsive, rather than rigid.

The more you work with these tools, the more attuned you’ll become to your energy—and to the situations, people, or environments that affect it. You’ll start to recognize when things are building up and know what you need to clear and come back to center.
