Hello everyone reading this article, I am going to talk about cleansing. This article is not only going to be about cleansing, but I will talk about the simplest to the most complex cleansings. Cleansings are a spiritual process of alleviation that is used to remove any evil energy, spirit, or negative things. Spiritual cleansing has been used for centuries by many different groups of people and different cultures. However, in this article, I am going to talk about the spiritual cleansings of Hoodoo workers and of African spiritual cleansings. I want the reader of this article to have a spiritual cleansing routine to add to their spiritual practice. So, I will start from the easiest cleansings that everyone can do, and through the article, I will move to more complex methods that you can try to do, but I will caution you to ensure that you are protecting yourself.
Okay, so let’s get started!
Fasting and Prayer
Fasting and prayer are some of the simplest things that you can do, but they can be effective methods of cleansing. In the Bible, in Matthew 4:1-11, when Jesus went into the desert for 40 days and nights, he went without eating or drinking anything to get closer to God, and to begin the start of his ministry in the Catholic church. Fasting and prayer are great ways to be closer to God, and if you have a special and urgent request, fasting and prayer are great ways to increase the likelihood of you getting your petition being answered. Also, fasting and prayer are forms of cleansing as well because you are not putting potentially negative things inside of your body.
Sage/Incense/ Palo Santo
Using either of these three sage sticks may seem small, but it has a powerful effect on removing negativity from your body, spirit, and aura. This method is simple, but it is effective if you need to do something in the interim. The way you are cleansing is through the smoke, and the special properties that the incense has. White sage neutralizes and removes all energies, good or bad. Palo santo removes negative energies and brings in positive energy.
Egg Cleanse
This method is very powerful, and it is not complicated to do at all. Spiritually, people would normally pass a chicken over themselves for the chicken to absorb all of the negative energy, then the spiritual practitioner would kill the chicken. However, today in the modern day, sacrificing a chicken can cause a lot of trouble with the authorities. This was a hoodoo practice that people would do to remove evil. During the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the ancestors would take the eggs that they had access to, and they would pass the egg over the person afflicted, and once the cleansing was done, they would bury the egg or send it down a river or creek. This method of cleansing has been used by many different cultures. The best way to do the egg cleanse is to take an egg that is room temperature, and you will rub it all over yourself. While doing this, you will want to say the Lord’s Prayer for the entire duration of the cleansing. Once you have rubbed the egg over all of your body, you will throw the egg away. Some people will crack the egg in a glass to see what they were afflicted with.
Spiritual Cleansing Bath
This is a simple cleansing, but it is very effective, and depending on the situation, this cleansing ritual could be powerful if you need to enhance it. So, to start off, a spiritual cleansing bath can be simple; for example, you can use three items to create your bath, like Holy Water, Hyssop, and Lime. Also, you can use ingredients with an odd number of items in it. Spiritual cleansing baths can be as simple as taking one bath and being done, but it can be more detailed by doing a multi-day bath. The length of the days that you are taking a spiritual cleansing bath is related to the extent of the cleansing that you need. If you have a large amount of negative energies, then you will have to take a bath for 5,7,9, or 13 days to completely remove the evil from you.
House cleansing
This is a method of cleansing when you feel that your space has had evil or negative energies in it. For everyone, their house/space is their sanctuary, where they should be able to come to so they can unwind and decompress from their work days. However, if there is evil and you need to do a cleansing, then there are a lot of things that you will be able to do. For example, you can use the Sage/ Palo Santo, which I stated earlier, can clear your house. Also, there is another method you can do, which involves using a coconut and cascarilla. However, if there is an evil entity that is stronger, then your best course of action would be to seek out a member of the Catholic Church, and get a priest who can bless a house or even exorcise a house too. Also, if you look it up online, you can get a Saint Michael the Archangel house blessing prayer.
Exorcism
This is the last method of cleansing, which is only for emergency situations. The process of an exorcism is or can be defined as: “ a ritual or practice, most commonly associated with religious traditions, intended to cast out or ward off evil spirits or demons believed to possess individuals, places, or objects.” This is one of the most powerful forms of cleansing, and exorcisms cannot be done readily. You will need to gather substantial evidence to give to the Catholic Church, and there will be an assessment done to ensure that the person who is possessed is not suffering from any mental or psychological illness. Once this is done, the church will send a trained priest who is experienced in exorcism. The priest will commence the exorcism on behalf of the possessed person. This method of cleansing is one of the most powerful and is highly effective in removing demons and evil spirits from the person who is afflicted with evil. However, exorcisms are an intense practice, and there have been people who have died when removing evil spirits from a person.
In conclusion, this is not a concrete list; there are many different cleansings from different cultures that are highly effective, which you can research on your own. I have compiled this list to give the reader information so that they can use these healings to help themselves or others who have been plagued with negativity in their lives. Thank you so much for reading this article!
