🔥 Spiritual Hygiene 101: Real Talk from a Holy Fire® Reiki Master…Because sage alone isn’t enough.

Let’s be real — we talk a lot about physical hygiene, but what about spiritual hygiene?

As a Certified Holy Fire® Reiki Master, I can tell you that energy is just as real — and just as sticky — as dirt on your skin. If you’re feeling heavy, overwhelmed, anxious for no reason, or like you’re picking up on everyone else’s stuff, your spiritual hygiene might need a reset.

In fact… These are non negotiables and are just the basics. Start here before before doing anything else.

Here’s my no-nonsense guide to cleansing your energy field and protecting your peace, from the inside out.

1. Clean Your House — Yes, Physically

Your outer space reflects your inner space.

Clutter is stagnant energy. Dust holds emotion. Old laundry piles = chaos in your auric field.

Before you even light that incense, clean your environment. Open the windows. Vacuum. Wipe things down. Create space for clarity.

Energy flows where cleanliness goes. And our Guides and Ancestors HATE filth.

2. Clean Yourself — And I Mean More Than a Quick Shower

Spiritual cleansing starts with the body. Take intentional showers or baths.

Exfoliate to slough off not just dead skin, but lingering energy from others.

Use high-vibe products — like my Realm Reiki-infused body scrubs — that are charged with healing energy and made with intention.

Set the tone for the day by washing off what doesn’t belong to you.

3. Don’t Sleep With Just Anybody

Yes, I said it.

Sex is an energy exchange. When you sleep with someone, you’re not just sharing your body — you’re absorbing their aura. Their mood, karma, unresolved trauma… it all gets into your field.

Be mindful. Protect your sacred space. Honor your body as a vessel for divine energy.

Ask yourself: “Do I want to carry this person’s energy in me for days?”

4. Stay Mysterious — Protect Your Light

Stop oversharing.

You don’t need to post every thought, every plan, or every milestone on social media. Your energy is sacred. When you give too much of yourself away online or in conversation, you create energetic leaks.

Not everyone is meant to know your next move. Some people are just watching — not supporting.

Let your energy speak louder than your words.

5. Get Into Nature

Nature recalibrates your nervous system and your aura.

Take your shoes off and walk barefoot on the grass. Sit by a tree. Let the sun hit your skin.

You don’t always need a crystal or ritual — sometimes you just need air and dirt and trees.

Mother Earth is the original energy healer.

6. Say “No” Without Explaining Yourself

This one is sooooo hard for me. I’m naturally such an oversharer.

You don’t owe anyone your time, your energy, or your availability.

People-pleasing is an energy leak.

Start saying no to anything that drains you. Start saying yes to what refills you — rest, solitude, joy, boundaries, peace.

Protect your energy like it’s your paycheck. Because it kinda is.

7. Not all Meditation Circles are Safe for Your Energy

Just because something is labeled “spiritual” or “healing” doesnt mean it’s aligned or safe. When you attend a meditation circle-especially with people you don’t know-you’re entering a shared energetic space.If you’re not grounded, shielded, or discerning, you can unknowingly absorb the heavy emotions, attachments, or even energetic debris of others.

We all know there are people that love to unload all their life issues when they go there.

I love these circles, but frankly I just enjoy the space. I never meditate or open myself up when I’m surrounded by other people. '

Always trust your intuition. Vet the facilitator. And remember: your energy is sacred—not everyone deserves access to it.Spiritual hygiene isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being intentional.

Final Thoughts:

YOUR AURA IS LIKE A SPONGE

And when it’s open, it soaks up everything—not just the good vibes. Without proper guidance or energetic boundaries, you risk carrying energy that isn’t yours, which can leave you feeling drained, anxious, or out of alignment.

You are an energetic being in a world full of frequencies.

Keep your field clear, your body nourished, and your boundaries strong.

You don’t have to carry what isn’t yours. You don’t have to be accessible to everyone. You get to choose what energy enters your life — and what energy leaves.
