Home, Temple, Room Cleansing

State your intention of cleansing and blessing your home, temple, or room. 

You may wish to invoke the powers of whatever God(s), Goddess(es) or other Divine beings you work with to assist you in your endeavor.

Begin by taking up the lit candle and moving to  your front door if doing your entire house or to the door of the particular room you are concentrating on.

Meditate on the purifying and transformative quality of FIRE and begin to move clockwise from the door around the inside perimeter of the house, moving room to room in a clockwise fashion.

As you move visualize the flame and the element of FIRE transforming and purifying any negative energy in positive and life affirming.

When you reach stairways whether up or down, proceed to that floor and again move in a clockwise manner. Continue to move clockwise through the home until you again return to your front door. Return the candle to the table or altar.

Now proceed in the same manner beginning at the front door with the burning incense.

Meditate now on the positive qualities of AIR, mental clarity, alertness and clear communication, as you move clockwise through the home.

As the incense smoke rises, envision the powers of AIR penetrating every nook and cranny of you home.  Complete your circumambulation with the incense. Return the incense to the altar.

Take the bowl or chalice of water which has been combined with salt. Move again to the front door. Sprinkle the water-salt mixture lightly while meditating on the positive qualities of the elements of EARTH (stability, grounding, prosperity) and WATER (serenity, emotional balance, psychic awareness.) Proceed again in a clockwise manner throughout the premises until you return again to the front door.

Your home has now been cleansed and balanced through the use of the Four Elements. You may wish to further protect your home by psychically tracing a protective sigil (pentagram, cross, six-pointed star depending on your beliefs) at any openings like doors or windows.

You may meditate on the idea that any energy that enters your home will be transformed through the sigil into a positive force within your space.

You may also wish to invoke the presence of a certain God, Goddess or Spirit to dwell within your space.
