Sticky Aura? 5 Ways to Energy Cleanse This Summer!

Is Your Energy Feeling a Little…Stuck?

Hey there, friend! How are you *really* doing? Not the polite “I’m fine, thanks” kind of doing. I mean, how’s your energy? Because lately, I’ve been feeling…blah. Just blah. Like wading through molasses, even after a full eight hours of sleep (which, let’s be honest, is a rare and precious thing these days!). You might feel the same as I do. You know that heavy, dragging feeling? The one where even the simplest tasks seem like climbing Mount Everest? I started thinking about why. What’s been different? And it hit me: my aura probably needs a good scrub.

I know, I know, “aura cleansing” might sound a little woo-woo. But hear me out! Think of it like spring cleaning for your soul. You dust off your house, right? You get rid of the clutter that’s been accumulating all winter. Well, your aura is just like that. It can collect negative energy, stress, and all sorts of unwanted gunk. So, when it gets clogged up, you feel tired, unmotivated, and just generally “off.” In my experience, that’s exactly what I’ve been feeling. And I bet you might be too. We’re all connected, after all! Don’t you agree? The good news is that you can totally do something about it. It’s easier than you think, and doesn’t require any fancy equipment or a trip to a remote mountaintop. (Although, that *does* sound lovely…)

Shower Yourself in Sunshine (Vitamin D and Good Vibes!)

Okay, so first up, sunshine! It sounds incredibly basic, but honestly, it’s a game-changer. I think we often underestimate the power of a good dose of natural sunlight. Think about it: plants thrive on it, and so do we! But we spend so much time indoors, glued to our screens, that we forget to soak up those golden rays. Now, I’m not saying you should go lie out in the midday sun and risk getting a sunburn. Please don’t do that! But even just 15-20 minutes of sunshine a day can make a huge difference.

I try to start my day with a walk outside, even if it’s just around the block. I feel so much more energized and positive afterwards. Plus, sunshine is a natural source of vitamin D, which is crucial for everything from bone health to immune function. And, let’s be real, it just feels good! It’s like a warm hug from the universe. I read an interesting article about the benefits of sunlight recently, focusing on seasonal affective disorder, and it reminded me how important it is to make time for it, especially as summer approaches. Plus, being outside often leads to…

Bonus Tip: Grounding!

While you’re soaking up the sun, take off your shoes and stand on the grass or dirt for a few minutes. This is called grounding, and it’s basically like plugging yourself back into the Earth’s energy field. It can help to reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost your overall well-being. I know it sounds a little out there, but trust me, it works!

Breathe Deeply (Seriously, Like You Mean It!)

You know, sometimes we forget the simplest things. Like breathing. We do it all day long, of course, but most of the time we’re not really *breathing*. We’re taking shallow, rapid breaths that don’t fully oxygenate our bodies or calm our minds. So, let’s talk about conscious breathing. It’s one of the most accessible, and free, tools we have for managing stress and cleansing our energy. I think the best part is that you can do it anywhere, anytime. Waiting in line at the grocery store? Take a few deep breaths. Feeling overwhelmed at work? Take a few deep breaths. About to lose your cool with your kids? (We’ve all been there!) Take a few deep breaths.

There are tons of different breathing techniques you can try, but my favorite is simple: inhale deeply through your nose, filling your belly with air, and then exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing all the tension and stress. Repeat this several times, focusing on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body. It’s like a mini-meditation, and it can really help to center you and clear your energy. I remember one time when I was giving a presentation at work, and I was so nervous that I felt like I was going to pass out. I took a few deep breaths in the bathroom, and it completely calmed me down. It was amazing!

The Power of Water (A Literal Energy Wash!)

Water is such a powerful element. It cleanses, it heals, it nourishes. And it’s incredibly effective at clearing your aura. Think about how you feel after a long shower or bath. Refreshed, right? That’s because water is literally washing away the grime and stress, both physical and energetic. You can take this a step further by adding some sea salt or essential oils to your bath. Sea salt is known for its cleansing properties, and essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and rosemary can help to relax and uplift your mood.

I personally love taking Epsom salt baths when I’m feeling particularly stressed. The magnesium in Epsom salt helps to relax your muscles and soothe your nervous system. Plus, it just feels so luxurious! Light some candles, put on some calming music, and soak in the tub for at least 20 minutes. It’s like a mini-spa treatment, and it’s a great way to clear your energy and recharge your batteries. A friend of mine once told me she visualizes all her stress and negativity washing down the drain with the bathwater. I tried it, and it actually works!

Declutter Your Space (Declutter Your Mind!)

Okay, this one might seem a little unrelated to aura cleansing, but trust me, it’s not. Your physical environment has a huge impact on your energy. A cluttered, disorganized space can lead to a cluttered, disorganized mind. And a cluttered mind leads to a cluttered aura. So, take some time to declutter your space. Start with one small area, like your desk or your nightstand. Get rid of anything you don’t need, use, or love. Donate it, recycle it, or throw it away. Once you’ve decluttered that small area, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle a bigger project.

I know, decluttering can be daunting. But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just start small and work your way up. Even just spending 15 minutes a day decluttering can make a huge difference. And as you declutter your physical space, you’ll also be decluttering your mind and your aura. It’s like killing two birds with one stone! In my experience, the less stuff I have around me, the lighter and more free I feel. I think you’ll find the same.

Connect with Nature (Recharge Your Soul!)

Last but definitely not least, connect with nature. Nature is such a powerful source of healing and energy. Spending time in nature can help to reduce stress, boost your mood, and clear your aura. Go for a walk in the woods, sit by the ocean, or simply lie down in the grass and look up at the clouds. Pay attention to the sights, sounds, and smells around you. Feel the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair, and the earth beneath your feet.

I try to spend as much time in nature as possible. Even just a few minutes a day can make a difference. I have a small garden in my backyard, and I love to spend time tending to my plants. It’s so therapeutic! I also love to go hiking in the mountains. Being surrounded by trees and fresh air just makes me feel so alive. In fact, I remember a time I felt completely lost and overwhelmed, and a long walk in the woods helped me find clarity and peace. It’s like nature has a way of resetting your system and reminding you of what’s truly important. So get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and let nature work its magic. You deserve it!
