Meditations for Energetic Hygiene

(Suggested price, $11)

In times of struggle, energetic hygiene is paramount to our ability to survive and thrive.

Energetic hygiene refers to cleansing, grounding, and shielding your energy. Our energy, just like our physical selves, is impacted by the world around us. If you ran around doing errands all day, your body would pick up grime and would sweat, such that you would need to shower at some point...right? Your energetic self also picks up grime as you go about your day, and similarly needs to be cleansed.

If this sounds "too woo" to you, think of it this way. Have you ever had an interaction with someone that left you feeling "slimed" or "gross"? Have you ever had trouble shaking off negative feelings? This is the felt, somatic experience of what I am describing above. For more information, check out this post by Diana Rose Harper.

Using energetic hygiene practices is part of my daily routine, and has absolutely changed my life. And while I have a variety of different practices that I use, there are three simple meditations that are indispensable to my process. These three meditations are clearing, where we clear our energetic field of energy that isn't ours and/or isn't helpful, grounding, where we send roots to the earth and release any remaining energy, and shielding, where we use our energy and that of the elements to create a shield around ourselves and protect us.
