Sage smoke, sound bowls, aura sprays: these are beautiful
and supportive tools. Yet, true energetic clearing reaches far beyond what sits
on your “vibe shelf.” It’s not just about chasing away bad vibes with ritual;
it’s a daily practice of awareness and self-care that asks you to check in with
what you’re carrying, often without realizing it.
Clearing is less about the act of smudging after a rough
conversation and more about the ongoing responsibility of energetic
self-maintenance. Think of it as taking honest inventory: What’s weighing you
down right now that might not even be yours? Maybe it’s a friend’s frustration
that lingered after a phone call, the subtle anxiety you picked up from crowded
public transit, or the exhaustion that crept in after doomscrolling late at
night. Even scrolling through social media can leave you with energetic “dust”,
the residue of opinions, moods, and projections that aren’t yours, but still
stick to you.
If you don’t clear consciously and regularly, your energy
field becomes like a cluttered room. Imagine trying to focus in a space full of
old boxes, random objects, and leftover mess from other people’s lives. It’s
tough to relax, hard to think straight, and eventually you start to feel
weighed down not even knowing why. Clearing is what opens up that room again,
creates spaciousness, and lets you breathe more deeply in your own presence.
Energetic clearing is as essential as brushing your teeth or
washing your hands. It’s your psychic shower, a way of telling your entire
system, “We’re not going to carry everyone else’s stress today.” For instance,
after facilitating a group meeting, notice if you feel unusually drained.
That’s a cue to clear: close your eyes, take a few conscious breaths, or even
shake out your hands and set the intention to release what doesn’t belong to
you. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes, simply stepping outside for a
few deep breaths or imagining a shower of light washing over you is enough.
You also don’t have to wait until you’re totally overwhelmed,
or things feel chaotic. Clearing can be as simple as checking in with yourself
after a stressful email or pausing between tasks to ask, “Does my energy feel
off, heavy, or foggy?” If the answer is yes, take action: stretch, breathe,
move, or visualize energy leaving your field.
Ultimately, clearing is an act of respect for your body,
your energy, and your capacity to show up clearly and fully in the world. You
wouldn’t walk around in yesterday’s clothes forever, so why carry yesterday’s
or someone else’s energetic residue? Make energetic hygiene a non-negotiable
part of your self-care routine, and notice what shifts for you: more focus,
more ease, and a lighter sense of being at home in yourself. Remember, every
step you take to clear your field is an act of self-respect and empowerment.
Trust that you have the ability to create space for your own energy to thrive, one
mindful moment at a time.
