Bless Your Home, Bless Your Life

How to bring positive energy and magic into your home and life

The practice of house blessing can be found in many cultures as a long-held sacred and / or religious tradition. However, you do not need to follow any churches or religion to do a house blessing – and you can do this several times throughout a year for several different reasons and occasions.

Blessing your home alongside with space clearing is actually an ancient practice often tied to spiritual and holistic living philosophies, where the focus is on ensuring that your living space is not only aesthetically pleasing but also energetically harmonious and supporting.

They are not the same but are very much interconnected and basically aim at creating a harmonious and positive environment within your home.

I will discuss here the steps involved in a house blessing and the benefits it can bring not only into your home but also into your life.

Steps of a House Blessing

Preparation

Before you begin the blessing, clean and declutter your home. This sets the stage for positive energy to flow and makes the space more inviting.

Now, you do not need to carry out a deep cleaning and an all-encompassing decluttering – unless you want it – but do get rid of the obvious clutter, dirt and mess as cleaning and decluttering themselves are actually practices that help clearing out any negative or stuck energy.

Set an Intention

Your mindset matters. Decide what you want to achieve with the blessing depending on why you carry out a house blessing. Having a clear intention will guide the ceremony.

You can do a short meditation to get clear about what you want to accomplish with the ceremony – as well as to lift up your own energetic level and clear out your negative thoughts and emotions. It is like cleaning and decluttering yourself before you start the blessing.

Choose Your Tools

Commonly used tools in a house blessing include sage or incense for smudging, candles, holy water, salt, bells, and crystals, diffuser with essential oils. Select the ones that resonate with you and your beliefs.

You can also pick some uplifting piece of music that makes you feel connected to the ‘source energy’. The music you choose should only serve as a ‘background noise’ since your focus should be on the intention of the blessing and the affirmations / prayers /mantras you will be reciting. Go with a piece that has no lyrics so you will not get distracted or rather only play the music once you have finished the reciting.

Smudging

Light the sage or incense and walk through each room, allowing the smoke to cleanse the space. Pay special attention to corners and doorways where stagnant energy often accumulates.

Prayer or Mantra

As you move through your home, recite a prayer, mantra, or affirmation that aligns with your intention. You can have different affirmations, etc. for each room. This can be a personal creation or something traditional, depending on your spiritual beliefs as well as on the set intention of the blessing. Bottom line is that you feel the connection between you, your circumstances, your intention and the prayer or mantra. There is no use to recite something that has no meaning to you or you do not feel aligned with.

Invite Positive Energy

Once the space is cleared, invite the intended positive energy into your home. You can do this by lighting candles, placing crystals, or playing uplifting music.

You can choose what positive energies you would like to call in and activate: love, harmony, peace, happiness, joy, creativity, health, healing, prosperity, abundance – you name it.

Pick the colour of the candles according to the purpose of the blessing – pink corresponds and signifies the energy of love and kindness, white corresponds to purity, divinity and peace

Seal the Blessing

Conclude the ceremony by sealing the blessing. This might involve sprinkling salt around the perimeter of your home, saying a final prayer or expressing gratitude.

Benefits of a House Blessing

Improved Energy Flow

Cleansing and blessing your home can clear negative energy, allowing positive energy to flow freely, enhancing the overall atmosphere.

Emotional Well-being

A space that feels harmonious can contribute to mental and emotional well-being, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Strengthened Intentions

By setting clear intentions during a blessing, you reinforce your goals and desires, creating a supportive environment for manifesting them.

Enhanced Connection

Engaging in a house blessing can deepen your connection to your living space, making it feel more like a sanctuary.

When you can do a house blessing

Blessing your house is simply activating it with positive intentions and energies. In the light of this you can do a house blessing whenever you feel the need for it for whatever reasons.

It could be before moving into a new home, after a renovation or refurbishment or when you want to give a new function or purpose to a space. You can also do it when a new partner or spouse moves in or a baby comes into your life. Or when you have done a deep cleaning and a decluttering. You can do one at the beginning of a new year or at some traditional holiday season.

It is also great to carry out such practice if you work a lot from home and you are in the need of some creativity, fresh ideas, different perspective. And if you work with clients who regularly come into your home office or home therapy room.

So how all these can help improve the quality of my life, bring me happiness, health and prosperity – you may ask.

Your home is an extension and a reflexion of you - of your body, your mind, your heart and your spirit. It oftentimes mirrors how you value, respect and treat yourself and how you connect to people and to the world in general.

So it is no question that your everyday living environment affects your life in every aspect – your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being. And the quality of those ‘beings’ will  create your life experience – in the field of your health, in your career, in your relationships, etc.

If you bless your home and invite an abundance of positive vibration in the form of positive emotions and thoughts, it becomes a safe and supporting space with limitless sources for you to manifest your best life.
