Energetic Hygiene: It's like brushing and flossing, but for your aura

We are energy beings who exchange, absorb and alchemize energy all day long.

If you are highly sensitive, or have a lot of open centers in your Human Design chart, you probably take on other peoples’ energies like a sponge.

Throughout the day and before you go to bed, check in with yourself, release all that is not yours, and call back your energy to yourself. It's easy to become fragmented throughout the course of the day, but you can just as easily find that place of wholeness and balance. 

You might need Energetic Hygiene if:

  • You’re tired for no reason

  • You feel inexpliably “icky”

  • You’re full of strange thoughts

  • You feel overwhelmed

  • You’re extra weepy or emotional

  • You have tightness in your throat

10 Ways to Clear Your Auric Field:

1/ Take a shower and gently exfoliate to wash the day away.

2/ Wash your hair, massaging your scalp to release any stuck energies in your crown.

3/ Get into the ocean or an epsom salt bath.

4/ Take a barefoot walk outside to ground into the earth’s healing frequency.

5/ Find a room where you can be alone in your own aura for a while. Nap or rest and just let yourself be.

6/ Do some deep stretching like butterfly pose, pigeon, or happy baby. Do deep abdominal twists to help “wring out” the liver, spleen and stomach, where we hold a lot of emotions. Gently tap the area under your right rib cage where the liver and gall bladder live. Breathe deeply and allow yourself to release.

7/ Do a “standing sweep” of your body. Stand with your feet rooted firmly on the floor. Starting at the top of your head and working your way down to your feet, use your hands to physically sweep each part of your body, saying out loud “This energy is not mine, and I release it now.” Do 2-3 passes over each part of your body or until you feel restored.

8/ Exercise, move your body, dance it out, jump up and down. There’s nothing like a little workout to let go of all that’s not yours. And the endorphins are a great bonus.

9/ Smudge yourself with sage or palo santo, circling over each chakra in a counter-clockwise motion.

10/ Cry it out! It works every time.
