For me, space clearing has always been about intention, infusing each action with purpose and meaning.
But let’s be real: the conventional methods of space clearing, like smoke cleansing with sage or Palo Santo, never sat right with me. Instead of feeling lighter and refreshed, I ended up feeling sick, disconnected, and frustrated that the positive shifts I was searching for just weren’t happening.
A few years ago, I decided it was time to find an alternative that actually resonated with me, my sensitivities, and my space. That’s when I discovered the magic of essential oil-based clearing sprays and using essential oils in my diffuser. Finally, I felt connected to the process—my space felt cleansed, my energy lighter, and the ritual itself felt right.
The Power of Intention
Here’s the thing about any ritual: it’s not about going through the motions; it’s about the intention behind it. Intention is the driving force that gives a ritual its power. Whether it’s through a prayer, speaking words with purpose, or simply focusing on the transformation you want to create, intention is key.
Rituals don’t have to be complicated. They’re just a sequence of actions designed to channel your focus. The more purpose you pour into each step, the more profound the shift becomes.
Make It Your Own
Space clearing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. What works for me might not work for you—and that’s perfectly okay. It’s all about creating a ritual that feels right for you.
Here are a few thoughts to guide you as you make space clearing your own:
Tune into Your Feelings: What makes you feel aligned, cleansed, and protected? This is a personal journey, so trust what feels right.
Explore: Play around with different essential oils, sprays, and methods. You might find a certain scent lifts your energy more than others.
Listen to Your Body: Your body is your best guide. Pay attention to how you feel during and after the ritual—lighter, calmer, and more grounded? You’re on the right track.
Evolve with It: Your needs and intentions will shift over time, so let your ritual evolve with you.
When it comes to the oils I use, I stick to scents that feel clean and fresh—something that brings clarity and energy into my space. And I don’t overthink it. If I’m ready to clear energy, I’ll use what I have on hand. Some favourites? Lemongrass, Cypress, Frankincense, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Lemon Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Peppermint, and Sweet Orange.
Space clearing is about doing it now. Not waiting for the perfect tools or the perfect moment.
These are my top three favourite essential oil based cleansing items

How to Cleanse Your Space
When it comes to cleansing your space with intention, follow these steps to create a ritual that aligns with your energy:
Open Doors and Windows Begin by opening all doors and windows in your space. This allows for the free flow of energy and sets the stage for a thorough cleansing.
Use Clearing Spray or Diffuser You have the choice to either use a Clearing Spray or place Clearing oils in a diffuser. Both methods work effectively to disperse the cleansing energy.
Picture Your Intention As you begin the cleansing process, focus on your intention. If you're clearing negative energy, visualize its density and see it lifting away. If you seek healing, imagine the spray or diffuser mist cleansing any illness or injury. Envision these energies floating out of your space, through the windows or doors, or sinking down into the earth to be absorbed. If it feels right, you can also pray or chant during this phase.
Express Gratitude Upon completion of your cleansing ritual, take a moment to express gratitude to the universe. Acknowledge that your space is now cleared and ready to receive positive energy.
Invite Love and Joy Don't forget to invite love and joy into your newly cleansed space. One way to do this is by diffusing your favorite essential oil blends in your diffuser. Let the pleasant scents fill your home, creating an atmosphere of positivity.
The beauty of this type of cleansing is its flexibility. You can perform it at any time, as often as you need, regardless of your background or culture. It's a practice that adapts to your unique needs and intentions.
If you've been feeling off-kilter or experiencing challenges in your home, consider giving cleansing a try. At the very least, your house will smell delightful after completing the ceremony. But more importantly, you'll have reset the energy in your space, inviting in the positive vibrations you desire.
