compasswitchcraft: DIY Spiritual Cleansing Spray!We all know we should cleanse our homes of negativity from time to time. Not all of us can burn incense, though! Personally, I take issue with most providers of white sage or palo santo due to the plants’ endangered statuses, and because I own a snake, smoke in general is bad news for his health. So what do I do? I use a cleansing spray. Cleansing sprays and smudge sprays from metaphysical stores can be super expensive, but making your own is easy and cheap.The base recipe requires: Filtered Water Alcohol (rubbing alcohol, vodka, any type of liquor will work here. Do NOT use beer/wine/malts) A Lemon/Lemon Oil/Lemon Juice A Spray Bottle (I found this one at Safeway in the travel bottles section)Optional: Lavender Essential Oil (calms and purifies the air) Eucalyptus Essential Oil (attracts positive energy) Water-Safe Crystals (will include below)Here’s what you do! Fill the bottle most of the way with filtered water. Add a teaspoon of alcohol, and either the lemon oil, juice, or skin of the lemon. I used lemon essential oil here, but you’re welcome to use whatever part of a lemon you like! Lemons have a long-known property of removing negativity and can be super uplifting. Give the bottle a big shake, and you’re ready to start!When spraying, imagine the spray “misting away” any negativity. Use whatever smudge or smoke cleansing prayer you might like to use as normal.I also added Eucalyptus & Lavender essential oils, quartz, black kyanite, and amethyst crystals to mine. Eucalyptus and Lavender smell REALLY BAD to bugs (for those of you interested). Particularly spiders! So this is a bug keep-away spray as well. The crystals I use: Black kyanite to remove negativity, amethyst to bring soothing energies, and quartz to amplify the properties of the oils and other crystals. You can absolutely add whatever you like to make your spray personal to you! Customization is the best part of DIY. Let me know if this spray works for you!Water Safe Crystals for Cleansing/Purifying/Soothing:Any type of quartz (rose quartz, amethyst, aventurine, citrine, carnelian)ShungiteAgatesJasperBloodstoneOther Cleansing/Positive Energy Materials you can use:Rosemary (not recommended for those with epilepsy)Sandalwood oilSaltCedarwood oilJuniperRose waterBay LeavesDo not drink this spray. -- source link
