Spring is a time of renewal, a shift in the collective energy. As we move out of the winter months with longer days ahead, our body and spirit are ready to take action for the seasons to come. Through this transition, we allow space for our ourSelves to come into being in a new and refreshing way and bloom into a new energetic realm. Now is a beautiful time to clean, purify, and realign; Here are 10 rituals for an energetic spring cleaning!

Ritual #1: Align Your Intentions for this New Energetic Season

Notice your mind as you connect to your breath & heart space. Invite the whispers of your heart and soul to reveal themselves and be heard.

Ritual #2: Smoke Cleanse

On a sunny day, open all the windows & doors in your home. Choose herbs, plants, resins, or incense you feel called to for your smoke blend. (Some of my faves: cedar, sage, lavender, copal). Set an intention to cleanse, clear, & reset the energy the space as you connect to the power and energy of the blend you've created Feel free to call in an energetic intention for how you would like your space to feel as you move through your home.

Ritual #3: Declutter, Organize, & Clean

A beautiful way to clear any leftover, stagnant energy in your space is by decluttering, organizing, and cleaning your home. What is the purpose of the space? Let that guide the way as you move through each room intentionally. Even a quick counter wipe or sweep can positively shift the energy!

Ritual #4: Create an Energetic Grid For Your Home

Crystal grids are a great way to cultivate positive energy. Our intentions ebb and flow as we do. Creating a simple grid allows you a way to anchor your intentions into your home field. The natural energy of the crystals, infused with your presence and intention, allows the intentional energy vibration to amplify across your space. Here are 4 steps for creating your own crystal grid:

Step 1: Gather crystals, rocks, feathers, flowers, etc. that you feel called to. Intentionally cleanse and clear them of any pre-set energy (smoke cleanse, water/sunbath, etc.)
Step 2: Infuse your items with your intentions. What are you calling in? How do you desire to feel in your home? Do you need a little extra support or protection? Creativity and play? Before you grid with these items infuse your energy, intention, and loving feeling into them. Hold them, sing to them, whisper your prayers to them - do whatever your soul feels called to.
Step 3: Begin the grid creation. Feel into your intuition and ask for clear guidance from your team as you drop in. Take your time moving through your house and placing your items. Great places to consider/ feel into: above doorways/thresholds, windowsills, bedframes, mantles, anywhere else your soul feels called.
Step 4: Activate your grid. Once you have your grid created, stand in the center of your space and state your intentions out loud to set the energy within the universal frequency. Feel free to use something similar to “I am lovingly and intentionally calling in XYZ. Make sure you end with words of love and gratitude for yourself, your space, your guides, and the universe!

Ritual #5: Create a Cleansing Self-Practice

Many of us can feel how the energy shifts and changes as we move from one season to the next, and it is really amplified for the spring season. As we move out of the dark, cold winter into the bright, refreshing spring, you might be feeling the urge to ramp up on your self-care. Creating your own energy clearing practice for this new season can be helpful as you navigate the opportunities and expansion spring tends to bring. Remember: this practice can ebb and flow as your own energy does!

Ritual #6: Spend Time in Nature

Nature is a place where we connect back to the rhythm of the natural world. Spending time in nature allows us to feel more grounded and connected to the collective life force energy. As we move out of the colder, darker months of the year and into warmer, sunny spring days, prioritize time every day/week to immerse yourself in nature, to feel the sun on your skin, the earth beneath your feet. This will support you to stay centered as the seasons flow on. Allow yourself to soak up some sun while taking care of your inner realm.

Ritual #7: Honor Your Body

The season of blooming, of new life, is upon us. We may feel pressure to create, to leap into action, but the wisdom of this season is to go slow. To allow the blooming to unfold, no rush, no force. Rest, lounge AND do the things - listen to what your body needs. Feed yourself nourishing foods, follow your cravings. Remember that growth is slow - even when it might seem like it all happens at once.

Ritual #8: Connect with Your Community

Is there something new you’ve been waiting all winter to try? Now is a great time to give it a go and to tap in with amazing community along the way. In winter it’s natural to hibernate, rest and stay inside more of the day. With the arrival of spring, it’s time to venture out of the den again! Connect with your friends, pack a picnic, start a new project, or better yet - ask your inner child “what’s something you’d love for us to do again?” and see what comes through! My little one wanted to get back into rollerblading - so looks like that’s what we’re doing this spring!

Ritual #9: Invite Expansion into Your Daily Routine

Spring is a season of growth and expansion, so why wouldn't you embody this energy? Rather than a traditional “to-do” list, create yourself an “Expansive Actions List” and see how that creates more space for you to show up fully as who you know yourself to be and who you are becoming.

Ritual #10: Connect with Your Voice

Begin speaking your desires out loud, witness yourself, let others witness you. This supports you as you embody the energetic frequency you are desiring to create. The practice of vocal toning can be extremely helpful for this, especially if you are feeling disconnected from your voice or feel as though your throat chakra is blocked.

All of these rituals are great for ANY time of the year - but especially potent at the start of a new energetic year! I hope these rituals help you become embodied in the energy you are calling in for this new season! Share in the comments any other spring cleaning rituals that have been supportive for you!
