You can burn incense, copal, frankincense, and myrrh to cleanse yourself or your home. Take 3 bay leaves, speak cleansing into them, and wipe your entire body from head to toe.

Fire speeds things up and it transforms. It can be a powerful tool but like everything must be done with the utmost respect.

Take 4 candles for each of the four directions, place them accordingly and do the same cleansing in each direction.

Water is a natural form of cleansing. When in your home, remember that any time you use your bathtub or shower, you can cleanse yourself from heavy energies. Simply go in the water and take some sea salt with you. Use this salt to scrub you your body or any energies from your SHOULDERS down to the bottoms of your feet. You can also sit with your feet in a container with some salt for 10-15 minutes and allow the energies to dissolve.
