Learn How to Practice Spiritual Cleansing

By Cathedral of the Soul

We, as human beings, are always concerned with cleanliness: we take baths daily, wash our clothes, and clean our houses, cars, and personal belongings, as we know how dirt can be harmful to our physical bodies. But unfortunately, it is also harmful to our spiritual body, and that's why we need to periodically do emotional cleansing to ward off everything that is negative and disrupts our harmony. See how to perform a spiritual cleansing step by step.

Due to a lack of understanding of the importance of spiritual cleansing, many people carry negative loads for a long period and do not know how to get rid of them. Shadows take advantage of vulnerable people to cause attitudes and moments of aggression, sudden sadness, discouragement, lack of confidence, and lack of willpower. It is possible to free oneself from these negative loads by renewing your energies with spiritual cleansing.

Do not doubt the power of deep breathing. It is real. Deep breaths calm our physical and spiritual bodies, causing a sensation of relaxation. To do spiritual cleansing, take about 20 deep breaths very slowly. Remember to breathe correctly: inhale through your nose and feel your abdomen inflate, not your lungs. Then exhale through your nose. The idea is that the time of inhalation and exhalation be similar.

You should create a spiritual connection with the divine entity, be it God, a saint, angels, orishas, or the deity you believe in, regardless of your belief. Imagine a very long tunnel of light, and the light that bathes this tunnel should be that connected to the deity. For God, usually, one imagines a golden tunnel. For angels, a blue tunnel. For Mary, a white tunnel, or the color that, brings you peace and connects you to this deity. You should imagine yourself calmly traversing this tunnel until you meet the divine. The time for this stage varies from person to person. You can start with 20 or 30 seconds and extend it as this stage brings you peace.

With an established channel, it's time to specify the need for your spiritual cleansing. You can start this stage with a prayer of your choice or a spontaneous prayer to that deity you are connecting with. Then, make clear your need for emotional cleansing and spiritual renewal, and ask to free yourself from all negative loads, envy, greed, and anger in your life. Remember to be very concentrated and focused on this desire and positively make this request for cleansing.

Gratitude is a special feeling and essential to spiritual cleansing. Enhance this feeling within you. Feel grateful for everything you have, everything you are, everything you have achieved, and the ability to go after what you want to achieve. Thank the gift of life. Thank the people who love you and whom you love.

Important: During the spiritual cleansing, your thoughts may deviate, and you may lose focus when you remember something or some subject unrelated to energy renewal. Try to ignore this thought, cancel it from your head during the cleansing period, and return focus to where it was before the distraction. Over time, you will get used to maintaining concentration and not getting distracted.

At the end of your cleansing, establish a routine to repeat frequently and keep your energy always positive and your aura always clean. Start slowly when you feel the need, and gradually incorporate new cleansing into your daily life until it becomes a daily habit, which will only take 5 minutes of your day and will bring positive results for your well-being.
