Here’s my special “mojo-cleansing ceremony” for your work and living spaces.

It’s not based on any feng shui master’s secrets or ancient rituals, I can’t even really remember the books I consulted at the time I came up with this, but I will tell you the funny story that goes along with this cleansing ceremony and then I’ll break it down so you can rock some good clean mojo too.

My best friend Julie was moving into a brand new house.  She is a total real estate mogul and has a knack for finding these amazing spaces and making them even more amazing.

This new acquisition was a small single family number in an up & coming neighborhood and Julie bought it from the family of an older woman who had recently passed away.  The woman’s family lived in another state and didn’t completely remove all of her belongings from the new pad.

Julie was excited about her purchase but also feeling a little ‘funny’ about moving into this home right after the former owner/occupant had …. Uh…. transitioned.

So I suggested she invite some girlfriends over and we have a ‘cleansing ceremony’ – to rid the house of any leftover vibes from the previous owner and set the intention for lots of fabulous times in her new pad.

I instructed Julie to write out her intentions for her new home.  I told her to write about the overall feelings she wanted to experience while living there, and to set an intention for each room in the home.

We gathered at Julie’s furniture-less bungalow around 7pm on a Thursday evening.  Six girls, a bottle (or two) of Chianti and a bundle of sage & incense sticks. We lit some candles and lounged in a circle on the ancient but absolutely gorgeous wood floors as Julie made some last minute additions to her list of intentions.

As we drained the final drops of burgundy from our glasses and lit the sage and incense, Julie began to read her intention for the new home.  She created a beautiful vision filled with love and laughter and rich experiences.

The 2nd room we entered to “cleanse” was the master bedroom and as Julie read her intentions for this room, the tipsy band of blessing givers declared “and lots of sex!”  We exploded in laughter and as we headed to the kitchen to cleanse and bless that room – we simply couldn’t resist adding “and lots of sex!” for that room, too.

As quick as you can say Extreeeeeeme Home Makeover, we had traversed Julie’s new home and declared that she would have lots of sex in every, single, square inch of her new abode.

I have no idea if our blessings and intentions brought a cornucopia of copulation for my friend Julie- I’ll have to ask her and get back to you.  But I will tell you that this cleansing ceremony is super fun and will definitely rid you of any bad or heavy vibes you might be feeling in your home, office or life.

Energetic Mojo Cleansing:

1. Write an overall intention for the space you are cleansing.  Include lots of specific feelings, be extremely descriptive, even add photos if you are a visual person.

2. Write an intention or vision for each individual room.  For instance, write a vision for your kitchen being filled with laughter, friends & family, healthy & nourishing foods.  Set an intention for your office or work space to be filled with brilliant ideas, clarity, abundance and inspiration.

3. Get some sage, incense or candles.  I’m not an expert on this, but sage is amazing at getting rid of any heavy or anxiety inducing energy hanging around your living and working spaces.  It does have a strong odor that some people don’t like, so I’ve used incense too.  I think it’s really the fire and the smoke and the intention that does the work for you.  Just make sure you wave it in the corners and ‘stir up’ any energy that might be stuck.

4. Invite some friends and make it a party.  Did you really think that I would create any kind of ritual that doesn’t include this?   Engaging the “power of the mastermind”  (2 or more gathered together) doubles the effectiveness and doubles the fun!
Let me know how YOUR mojo-cleansing goes and what your intentions are for your living & working spaces.
