The 10-Minute Incense Cleansing Ritual to Reset Your Energy Fast
Life gets chaotic. Your energy? A little frazzled. Your space? Maybe carrying some unwanted vibes from last night’s guest or this morning’s stress spiral. We get it.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need a full moon or a five-hour ceremony to cleanse your space and get grounded. Sometimes, all it takes is 10 minutes, a good stick of incense, and the right intention.
This simple incense ritual is perfect for:
- Moving into a new space 🏡
- After conflict or emotional stress 💔
- Before journaling, meditating, or manifesting 🕯️
- Or just… when the vibe feels off 👀
🛁 What You’ll Need:
- 1 high-quality incense stick → Try Sera Serene for grounding or Chomolung Snow for clarity
- A heat-safe incense holder → Browse handcrafted holders
- A lighter or match
- Open windows (fresh air = fresh energy)
- A few deep breaths 😮💨
🔥 The Ritual (Step-by-Step – 10 Minutes)
⏱️ Minute 1: Set Your Intention
Sit down, close your eyes, and take 3 deep breaths.
Ask yourself: “What do I want to clear or invite in?”
✨ Try: “I release all stagnant energy and welcome peace.”
🔥 Minute 2: Light Your Incense
Hold the incense at a slight angle and light the tip.
Let it burn for ~10 seconds, then blow it out. You should see a glowing ember and steady stream of smoke. ✨
🌬 Minutes 3–7: Cleanse Your Space
Start at your front door and walk clockwise through your home (or room).
- Waft the smoke into corners, behind doors, around mirrors, under beds.
- Speak or think affirmations like:
“This space is protected.”
“I welcome calm and clarity.”
“Only positive energy remains.”
💡 Pro Tip: Pay extra attention to areas that feel “heavy.” You’ll feel the difference. Promise.
🧘 Minutes 8–9: Cleanse Your Aura
Waft the incense around your body from feet to head, front to back.
Visualize the smoke carrying away stress, blocks, or old energy.
✨ Bonus points if you add a crystal or sing a little mantra. Why not?
🌸 Minute 10: Close with Gratitude
Blow out the incense if you’re done—or let it finish burning naturally in a safe place.
Say a simple thank you—to yourself, your space, your tools, and the moment.
Ground in. Smile. You just cleared the heck outta those vibes 💨
