Learn 4 simple ways to cleanse the energy of your home and body
4.04.2025
Young Living has found a home in every room of my house.
My morning routine starts with my Red Drink, so that I hydrate my cells and get them vibrant and ready to tackle the day.
Then I jump into the shower with my Young Living Bloom Brightening Cleanser and Orange Blossom Charcoal Bar Soap, and I follow that up with my 7 Oil Ritual in order to set my intention and energy for the day.
This is how I create a Miracle Morning for myself.
These simple routines ensure that my body is cleansed (in a way that is pH friendly, ie. allowing the natural oils to be present in my skin), and it ensures that I smell divine!!!
Whenever my friends and colleagues give me a hug, the typical comment is, “Wow – you smell amazing!!!” And I do!
They try to guess what oil I have on, not realising that with 7 different Young Living blends from my 7 Oil Ritual, that’s a whole lot of single oils singing around on my body, creating aromatic melodies.
But is that enough? Is cleansing our physical body and nourishing it from the inside out the complete answer to vibrant health? The answer is “No”. There’s a missing piece, and that’s energetic cleansing.
This is an area of cleansing that is very close to my heart, but which I’ve not often talked about. Today I want to share with you my top tips for energetically cleansing my home and my body. Enjoy!
Cleansing your Space
Our home is much more than just inanimate objects – fabrics, cushions, floors, benches and walls. Our home is a living, vibrational “space” that takes on the energy of every person and creature that walks into it.
Just like people, some homes feel light and spacious and welcoming, where other homes feel dark and lacking in both love and nurturing. Even a home that carries a lot of beauty to the eyes can feel empty to the heart.
So how can you cleanse the energy of your home, crystals and body, using the Young Living products? Here are my 4 top tips:
1. Smudge your home with Purification oil

When I was working in the spiritual field and doing psychic readings every day, I was acutely aware of the need to “smudge” my home every week, if not every day.
That’s because every day my home was filled with people’s hopes, fears, joys and sorrows. That energy lingered in the air like an invisible mist which then needed to be swept aside.
That’s what smudging does.
You might have heard of smudge sticks.
This is a Native American tradition, using sticks typically made of white sage which have been dried and bound together. When the stick is lit, it creates smoke that can be used to “smudge” (ie. cleanse) our home or our body.
You carry the stick around your home in a slow and intentional way, usually in a clockwise direction, allowing the smoke to “cleanse” the air and the dark corners of the home.
Smudging my home returned it from an emotionally cluttered space to a neutral, clean slate.
Once I started using the Young Living oils, I became curious about whether an essential oil or blend could do the same thing as a smudge stick.
It turns out it can!
I started diffusing Purification oil blend every single day. Not only did my home smell amazingly clean, but I found that my need for smudging went from a daily or weekly task, to something I only needed to do every 3 months.

The Purification oil worked just like a smudge stick, to cleanse the energy of my home between clients.
So the simple act of diffusing Purification oil each day will keep your home energetically clean. How easy is that!
2. Protect your own energy field with Palo Santo oil
I’ve mentioned about smudging with white sage. However, another very popular way of smudging is by burning Palo Santo wood. It creates the most beautiful aroma, and the smoke that whisps up from the burning wood is used like the smoke of the White Sage smudge sticks to purify and cleanse the energy of a room or a person’s aura.
Palo Santo wood carries veins of essential oil within it. That makes sense. When we burn the wood, that burning process releases the essential oil that is held in the veins of the wood, and we get wafts of that beautiful smell. It’s the essential oil within the wood that carries the cleansing properties that we associate with Palo Santo, just as much as it’s the smoke from the burning wood.

So whilst you can diffuse Palo Santo oil in the same way that you diffuse Purification oil, I general don’t do this. Don’t get me wrong. I love Palo Santo oil. In fact, I love it more than Purification oil, as it speaks to me on a very personal and spiritual level.
That’s why I like to use Palo Santo oil directly on my body rather than in the diffuser. When I want to ground myself, I put a drop of Palo Santo oil on my base chakra (lower sacral area). Read more about this on my spiritual blog on this topic. And for spiritual protection, I put a drop on the back of my neck at C7/T1 (the lumpy area at the base of the neck, where it joins the upper back).
If you read my blog about Palo Santo, I talk about how Palo Santo helped a woman who was very negative in her energy and attitude to life. No one liked her, and she didn’t like others. After using Palo Santo, her personality completely transformed. I am not sure whether it was the wood or the oil that was used on her, but because the oil is in the wood, I know the oil will work in just the same way as the wood. The wood is simply a vessel that “carries” the oil.
The other practise I do each day for keeping my energy field clean and vibrant is my Grounding and Protecting ritual. I do this immediately after my morning 7 Oil Ritual, so that together they take me 10 minutes to do.
So why do I prefer Purification oil in my diffuser, rather than Palo Santo oil? This is a purely intuitive understanding. I feel as though Palo Santo oil wants to be close to me. It wants to be on my body. Whereas Purification oil is magnificent in the diffuser, because its aroma leaves my home smelling so clean and fresh.
Horses for courses, as they say.
3. Take care of your crystals with Joy oil
I have the most beautiful collection of crystals from around the world. I’m like a crystal magnet. Crystals just find me, and ask to come home with me. Where some people collect stray animals or lost children, I collect crystals.
Crystals have an amazing energy, but like our home and our energy field, they really benefit from being cleansed on a regular basis, to keep their energy field vibrant and strong.

I love to sit my larger crystals out under the moonlight, especially if it’s full moon. This fills them with light and energy. The next morning, I carry out a bowl of water with some pinches of salt in it, and 5 to 10 drops of Joy oil. I pour this over my crystals, to give them a good cleanse.
For my smaller crystals I take a large bowl of water, add 5 to 10 drops of Joy oil to it, and place my smaller crystals in it for a few hours. Then I pop them on a towel to dry.
I’ve been doing this same ritual with my crystals ever since I came across Young Living’s oils, and Joy oil has always been my oil blend of choice for my crystals.
Why? Again, it’s intuitive. Joy has such an uplifting, vibrant, beautiful, heart-based energy, it is perfectly aligned with my crystals.
But….if my intuition told me to instead use Dream Catcher, or Awaken, or Valor, or Peace & Calming, or Highest Potential, or any one of our many essential oil blends, then I’d always follow that guidance.
4. Cleanse your home with the Thieves range & essential oils
Every time you use essential oils in your diffuser or in your household spray, you are not only cleaning your home on a physical level, you are also cleaning it on an energetic level. The same applies to your body. That’s because our essential oils don’t just work physically – they work through the energy field as well, impacting so much more than the physical form. If you want to learn more about this topic, check out my blog about the real reason that essential oils work so well.
That’s why I love our Thieves Range of products for around the home. Because these products are infused with Thieves essential oil blend, they infuse our home with the potent vibration of essential oils every time we clean.
We’re not just impacting the physical cleanliness of our home – we’re also lifting the frequency of our home with Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils.

The reason people love coming into my home is because of 3 things (and it’s all about energy). There are:
- The aromas and frequencies of the essential oils I use, bringing the energy and vibration of nature into my home;
- The crystals I have around my home, helping to anchor and uplift both the physical space and the people and animals within it; and
- Sound. I love sound healing, and anytime I’m feeling low or feeling joyful, I start to sing. This opens my heart, and brings the frequencies of sound into my home. I also have a beautiful collection of sound healing instruments, which I can combine with essential oils for transforming the energy of any space.
If you love learning about essential oils from an emotional and spiritual perspective, make sure you subscribe to my spiritual blog. Essential oils are not the primary focus of that blog – it’s a place where I share my own lessons in life, spiritual tips, and plant and animal wisdom. But because I love essential oils so much, it’s only natural that they feature in some of these blogs. Enjoy!
