Winter may well have you feeling stuck, unmotivated, tired, and sluggish BUT spring is on our doorstep! Spring holds the energy of so much life and hope, ushering in longer days, fresh blooms, and a sense of renewal. Just as we open the windows to let in the crisp spring air and clear out the dust and old energies of winter, this season is also the perfect time to refresh our internal energy. Whether you’ve been feeling a little stuck, weighed down, or just ready for a reset, energetic cleansing practices can help you shake off the heaviness of these past few months and welcome in fresh, vibrant new energy.
From cleansing with herbs to salt baths, sound healing, intention-setting, and crystal grids, there are so many simple and powerful ways to cleanse the energies both in your space and within your self. These practices don’t just help clear out stagnant energy—they also create space for new opportunities, clarity, and joy. So, if you’re ready to refresh your home, body, and mind, let’s dive into some of the best energetic cleansing practices to embrace this spring!
Why Energetic Cleansing is Important
Energetic cleansing is really necessary for maintaining our wellness, inner balance and overall harmony in our lives and I think it doesn’t really happen as much as it should or get enough attention.
Our energy fields can accumulate toxic or negative vibrations over time, especially after stressful events, emotional challenges, periods of anxiety, illness, or even just being around challenging people. I’m an advocate for even a quick cleansing after any of these types of events but the start of a new season is really the perfect opportunity to go all in and give your energy a full overhaul.
This type of accumulation can create energetic blockages which can be a big part of why we may feel drained, disconnected, overwhelmed, or anxious and it’s not usually the thing we go to if we aren’t feeling our best.
Cleansing allows us to clear away the old, re-align our intentions, and make space for renewal, clarity, emotional well-being, and provides a fresh opportunity to step into the highest version of ourselves and move forward feeling positive and filled with vitality and motivation.
Spring, with its themes of renewal and growth, is the ideal time to clear out the old and make room for fresh, vibrant possibilities. As nature comes back to life, we can align with its rhythms by shedding what no longer serves us—whether it’s emotional baggage, limiting beliefs, or just a heavy, sluggish feeling. By intentionally cleansing our energy, we create space for positivity, clarity, and a sense of lightness that helps us move forward on our path with ease and inspiration.
I’ve included energetic cleansing practices here for both your space and your own personal energy.
Benefits of Energetic Cleansing
Just a few of the many many benefits at a glance:
1.Boosts Mood & Emotional Well-Being – Clearing out stagnant energy can help release stress, anxiety, and negativity, making room for a lighter, more positive mindset.
2. Enhances Mental Clarity – When your space and energy are clear, it’s easier to focus, make decisions, feel a sense of direction, and have clarity with our goals.
3. Improves Sleep & Relaxation – Removing heavy or chaotic energy can create a more peaceful environment, helping you unwind and have a more restful and restorative sleep.
4. Increases Motivation & Creativity – Letting go of old, stuck energy can inspire fresh ideas and a renewed sense of purpose.
5. Strengthens Intuition & Awareness – A cleansed energetic field allows you to tune in more deeply to your inner wisdom, trust your instincts, and be open to messages from the universe.
6. Creates a More Harmonious Home & Work Space – A refreshed, energetically balanced space feels lighter, more inviting, promotes better interactions with others, and makes you more productive.
7. Supports Spiritual Growth & Manifestation – When your energy is clear and aligned, it’s easier to attract what you desire and feel more connected to your purpose. If energies are misaligned it can be difficult for manifestations to come to fruition as our energies will not be aligned with them.
All that being said, it’s energetic reset time so let’s get into!
8 Powerful Energetic Cleansing Practices to Reset for Spring
1. OPEN YOUR WINDOWS
This seems really a little too simple but so incredibly effective! Especially if you live in a cold climate and have had the heat blasting and your windows shut tight all season. Your space and your physical self need to just breathe. We spend a lot of our time in our homes especially in the winter and the air is going to get stale and filled with energy that just doesn’t flow without some fresh air moving through it. On the first nice enough day try these:
- Open all your windows and doors (maybe not your doors unattended if you have pets), even if just for a few minutes.
- Try visualizing old, stagnant energy leaving as the fresh air flows in.
- Place bowls of water with lemon or herbs by windows to absorb and cleanse lingering negativity.
Instantly, you will feel a wonderful shift in your space!
2. Cleanse with Spring Herbs
Next up—cleansing with herbs! This is a favourite cleansing method of mine that I do regularly. You could burn an herb bundle, light incense, or one of my favourites, brew a simmer pot. Consider using herbs to cleanse that align with spring such as:
- Rosemary (for clarity and protection)
- Lavender (for peace and calm)
- Peppermint for cleansing and renewal
- Thyme (for courage and fresh starts)
- Basil (for growth and fertility)
You can light your herb bundle or incense and let the smoke drift through your space, and set an intention for clearing away old energy to make room for new beginnings.
I like to walk through my space with my incense and set this type of intention in each individual room.
If you are doing a simmer pot make a whole ritual out of it and state your intentions for this as well. I’ll be posting a simmer pot video on my YouTube Channel in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for that.
3. Sound Cleansing
Sometimes, when energy isn’t moving well, sound can be an amazing way to get things flowing again. This is one I actually don’t do too often but want to include more of into my own cleansing practices. You can do this by:
- Ringing bells in the corners of your home or in each individual room (I have bells in my kitchen that I do use regularly but only in the kitchen for some reason)
- Playing singing bowls or chimes
- Clapping your hands in areas that feel heavy
- Play a video on YouTube that is of cleansing or healing frequency music. There are so many to choose from and they are hours long. So you could choose one and let it play. Maybe even while you are doing some of the other practices from this post
Sound vibrations break up dense energy, making way for lighter, higher frequencies. They are incredibly soothing for your space and your person as well to feel more calm and in balance.
4. Luxurious Cleansing Bath
I couldn’t do a cleansing post and not mention water. Spring is a time of rebirth, and water is the perfect tool for energetic cleansing. Treat yourself to a spring renewal bath (or even a luxurious shower with some extras!). Consider including:
- Fresh herbs like mint, chamomile, or basil
- Epsom salt, Himalayan pink salt, or sea salt to draw out old energies
- A few drops of lemongrass or sweet orange essential oil for an uplifting and motivating boost
Light candles, play healing or cleansing music from my previous tip, place cleansing crystals in your space and really make it a whole production.
As your soaking, you can visualize old energy washing away, leaving you refreshed and revitalized for the season ahead. You could even go a step further and visualize what you want your spring season to look like with you showing up as your highest self.
5. Declutter & Donate
This one is talked about a lot but I am including it anyways! Physical clutter holds energetic weight, so clearing out your space is a powerful way to cleanse your own internal energy as well. Cluttered house, cluttered mind. If the energy in your space is not flowing freely that will definitely affect your internal energy as well. Go through your:
- Closet – Donate clothes that no longer align with who you are
- Storage – Let go of things that carry heavy emotional energy or things you simply don’t use anymore
- Home Decor – Swap out winter decorations for lighter, brighter pieces that say spring has arrived ( I love this one!)
As you clear space, imagine welcoming in new opportunities and fresh energy to your life.
6. Working with Cleansing Crystals
Crystals are a wonderful way to embrace the growth and renewal energies of spring. Some of my favourites that align with the season include:
- Green Aventurine (for new beginnings and abundance)
- Citrine (for sunshine energy and positivity)
- Clear Quartz (for clarity and balance)
- Peridot – for rejuvenation and creativity
- Carnelian for energy and motivation
Choose the ones that resonate with you. Place them on your altar, by your bedside, in key places around the home, make a crystal grid with the intention of cleansing and renewal, carry them with you, wear as jewellery to absorb their refreshing energies, and you can even place them in your car.
7. Embrace Plants & Flowers
Spring is when nature begins to wake up and we notice plants and flowers springing to life all around us. What better way to connect with the revitalizing energy of spring than by allowing nature into your space? And plants and flowers have wonderful cleansing, purifying, and positive energies attached to them.
You can plant some seeds—whether it’s flowers, herbs, veggies, or an indoor plant. If planting isn’t really your jam then buy a small plant or some fresh blooms to have in your space instead. Consider getting plants that symbolize the energy of spring. Think:
- New beginnings
- Personal growth
- Abundance
- Cleansing
- Renewal
- Motivation
- Vitality
As you plant your seeds or place your new fresh blooms in water, set an intention for what you’d like to welcome more of into your life this season!
8. Celebrate the Spring Equinox
Lastly, celebrate the balance and renewal by honouring the Spring Equinox with a ritual and festivities. I love celebrating each turn on the wheel of the year and the Spring Equinox is a favourite. The energy is just infectious. There are so many ways to honour this day and welcome in the new season.
Some things you can do include:
- Simply Light a candle in honor of the returning light
- Do a journal session: Write down what you’re releasing & what you’re calling in for this new season
- Give your altar a little refresh with some fresh flowers, or other bits of nature from to welcome new energy
- Plan a special meal
- Do witchy spring crafts
- Wake with the sun
- Spend time outdoors
- Do rituals for cleansing, renewal, and revitalization
- Set fresh intentions
- Do a tarot or oracle card reading
Aligning yourself with the the energy of the earth and honouring these seasonal shifts deepens your connection to nature, the cycles of transformation, your own inner magic, and your spiritual practice in so many wonderful ways. It will also have your energies feeling light, refreshed and ready to take on this new season with vibrant motivated energy.
