How to Cleanse Your Aura

Welcome to my little guide. Consider this the first entry in your grimoire! This is meant for beginners and experienced energy workers alike. I used to have this as a 3-part guide, but instead decided to condense it for you.

Understanding Your Aura & Why Cleansing Matters

An aura is your energetic field, a luminous force surrounding your body that interacts with the world around you. It can absorb emotions, energies, and even outside influences, which can sometimes lead to blockages or imbalances.

Imagine your personal space bubble. That bubble is different for each person. It may remind you of a color, a song, or simply a feeling. However you like to think about it, this is the space you swim in and the energy that you release from your heart.

Some people’s auras are just about the size of their bodies, while others can reach a distance of ten feet away from them. This sometimes creates the inexplicable effect of heads turning when someone walks into a room.

Your aura also contains multiple layers that reflect different aspects of your energy. When the aura becomes cluttered or heavy, it can cause fatigue, mood swings, or a feeling of being stuck.

Regular cleansing helps maintain mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual alignment. There are many different cleansing methods, and some may work better for you than others. Everyone is different.

🌟 Key Facts

• Your aura has many layers, each reflecting aspects of your energy.
• A heavy aura may cause fatigue, irritability, or a feeling of being out of sorts
• Regular cleansing helps maintain mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual alignment. There are many different cleansing methods, and some may work better for you than others. Everyone is different.

Beginners Exercise

Take a moment to sense your aura: Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and move your hands slowly around your body — do you feel warmth, tingling, or dense areas? This can indicate where you may need cleansing.

Close your eyes, and place your hands on your heart. Notice if any colors or shapes flash behind your eyelids. Move your hands slowly away from your body, then back toward it. Every time you move your hands back toward you, they may seem to push away. This is the energy that is emanating from your hands and your body, communicating with each other.

If you end up lingering in your heart, then you may need to meditate longer and do exercises to enlarge your aura. Your energy may all be stored away deep down. This is okay, but if you want to work on how the world sees you from an energetic perspective, you may want to create a larger bubble for yourself. The larger your own aura is around you, the more of a cushioning effect you have between yourself and any unwanted energy fields that are at a distance.

If you end up with your arms stretched out wide, this may mean that you have a very large and bold aura. You may be adventurous and wear your heart on your sleeve a little more than others. You can use this large aura to your advantage to get people’s attention or to influence the energy of a room. However, be careful, because the larger your aura is, the easier it is for others to walk inside your space and siphon energy from you. They may even believe your large aura is their own and begin to act like you.

Regardless of whether your aura is large or small, it is important to ‘cocoon’ yourself on occasion. This is bringing your aura into your body and absorbing the energy toward yourself or the ground to protect yourself. Cocoon your energy at the end of your meditation by bringing your hands in a sweeping motion toward and around yourself, like putting on a blanket. Imagine your aura as a protective forcefield which cannot be penetrated.

Simple & Powerful Aura Cleansing Techniques

Now that you understand your aura, let’s explore techniques to cleanse it effectively.

Cleansing gets rid of any impurities or negativity that may have latched on from a feeling you had or a place you went to. If you feel ‘off’, or tired, or lethargic, especially at a time of day when you are usually awake, then something outside of your usual aura field may have affected you.

You will need to change your aura back to a blank/positive state for you to feel more yourself.

Smoke Cleansing: Use sage, palo santo, or rosemary to gently waft smoke around your body, setting an intention to release negativity. Smoke has a loose quality that moves around and through physical and energetic bodies. The smoke collects negative energy and brings it away from you and out into the sky. Need some sage? We have some here.

Salt Baths: Immerse yourself in a warm bath with sea salt, Epsom salt, or Himalayan salt to draw out stagnant energy. Salt is one of the most natural and widely used methods of cleaning ANYTHING, so of course it is a go-to for us on our auric body. Baths of any kind can help cleanse the aura, and adding other herbs with uplifting, sweet, and positive energies can take your energy to the next level, on top of cleansing with the salt.

Sound Healing: Use singing bowls, chimes, or chanting to break up energetic debris. Sound is actually known to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and potentially aiding in physical and mental health conditions. These vibrations really clean out every part of you on a cellular level, breaking up any ‘stickiness’ in your auric field. This can be done by someone else, or even yourself, playing music!

Crystal Sweeping: Sweep selenite or black tourmaline through your aura to absorb and transmute negative energy.

Visualization: Picture a radiant white or golden light washing over you, dissolving any heaviness.

🔮 Practice Challenge:

Try at least one method today and journal how you feel before and after.

Maintaining an Energetically Clear Aura

Aura cleansing isn’t a one-time event; it’s an ongoing practice to keep your energy field vibrant and strong. Tune in to yourself daily and use whatever tools you feel you need to keep you free and clear of stagnant energies.

Daily Energy Hygiene Rituals:

• Morning Light Bath: Stand in sunlight or visualize a golden glow enveloping you.
• Breath-work: Deep, intentional breathing, such as vibrant deep breaths or even alternate nostril breathing, will clear stagnant energy.
• Protective Shields: Visualize a glowing bubble of light around you before stepping into crowded or energetically heavy spaces.
• Grounding Practices: Walk barefoot on the earth, hold grounding stones like hematite, or practice gentle yoga.
• Mindful Consumption: Be aware of the energy you take in from people, media, and food — choose high-vibe nourishment.

Share the Positivity:

• Animal Love: Feel free to cleanse the Aura of your animal friends.
• Fresh Flowers: It has been proven that Fresh Flowers will take the negativity out of a room.
