These days, the health and wellness world frequently uses the word detox. We often hear about detox diets, detox smoothies, detox cleanses, detox supplements, and so on. Every day, free radicals and toxins bombard our physical body. Only with proper nutrients, water, and rest can the body efficiently detoxify itself naturally.

While physical detoxes have been popular for decades, spiritual and energy detoxes are becoming increasingly popular. Everything is made up of energy. Energy naturally flows and remains in motion. We must take care of our metaphysical health and wellness as well as our physical health.

Energy and space detox is a powerful practice. Sage smudging, burning palo santo, healing with crystals, and using essential oils are nothing new. In fact, such rituals have been in place for countless generations across many different cultures. If sage and crystals seem too modern for you, don't worry; there are dozens of other ways to cleanse your energy.

When we feel emotionally, spiritually, and metaphysically cared for and balanced, everything else in our lives will be able to flow more freely the way energy is intended to. Picking a cleansing practice is a personal choice. It can be something that you do every morning or evening, or it can be something that you do once a month. You can also cleanse your energy and personal space on a need-to basis.

Energy cleansing practices can include, but are not limited to,

Smudging with sage

Burning Palo Santo

Using essential oils

Taking a bath

Lighting candles

Holding crystals

Walking

Practicing yoga

Sound healing with drums, gongs, bells, and singing bowls

Meditation

Breathwork

Playing with your pet

Spending time in nature

We are a complex and very dynamic species. Our complete wellness encompasses seven dimensions, with our spiritual wellness holding equal importance to our physical wellness, as we have previously discussed. The power of smell, sound, nature, the breath, and self-care is truly extraordinary.

Pick an energy-cleansing practice that feels comfortable to you. There is no right or wrong; it is really just about taking the time to go inward and rid the body and surrounding space of anything that no longer serves you well.

Positive energy attracts positive energy!
