Color of the day: Purple Incense of the day: Vanilla Start with a physically clean home. Decorate a cinnamon broom from a craft store with dried herbs such as yarrow, lavender, or rosemary; herbs for protection, cleansing, and love are all good choices. Wrap the broom handle with festive fall-colored ribbon and leaves, if you like, and dangle a few bells on the broom, since ringing bells release stagnant energy. Now move from room to room, gently sweeping toward your back door. This is meant to be a spiritual cleaning, the physical cleaning having already been done. Sweep all negativity out your back door. Sprinkle your threshold with saltwater. Stomp your foot and say: "Negativity, now you're out. You can't come back or hang about!" Hang the broom outside on your front door or prop it nearby. |
