You brush your teeth every day, right?
Do you take showers too?
[I hope so.]
Chances are, you’re pretty consistent with hygiene practices.
They’re some of the first things our parents ingrain into us when we’re kids.
That’s why these hygiene practices become such a common part of our everyday lives that we barely notice them.
But what about energetic hygiene?
Do you cleanse your energy field as often as you cleanse your body?
Why not? Your energetic health is even more important than your physical health.
In fact, physical health is a downstream manifestation of energetic health.
What is Energetic Hygiene?
Energetic hygiene is the practice of maintaining a healthy energy field.
It’s clearing and cleansing your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and anything else on the energetic level of your being (trauma, ancestral patterns, karmic imprints, etc).
If this seems too “woo” for you, just think of it in common sense terms. When you stew in negative self-talk and emotions, how do you feel? Not good, right? But when you clear those thoughts and emotions, you feel like a brand new person. New worlds open up to you.
That’s energetic hygiene. It might sound airy fairy, but it’s VISCERAL (and practical too).
Energetic hygiene is crucial if you want to thrive these days. Look at all of the emotional upheaval, mental health crises, stress, burnout, addiction, etc. These can be harmonized — from the root — with proper energetic hygiene.
When you learn to clear your energy every day, you create the space for yourself to thrive on every level of being.
Here’s a personal example…
Feeling 50 Pounds Lighter
This weekend, my wife spontaneously did an energy healing session on me.
She’s a powerful sound healer, among many other things. Check out her website here: nicolemantilla.com
After a an hour of tuning forks buzzing around my body and essential oils placed on different acupuncture points, I was HIGH.
I felt 50 pounds lighter (energetically), like a heavy burden dropped off my shoulders.
I’m good with maintaining a lot of healthy habits. However, I could benefit from using modalities like sound and essential oils more often.
These tools clear your energy in a way that meditation or a walk in the park don’t come close too.
The feeling I had after the session was AMAZING. But it also shed light on some nasty habits I’ve had, like putting pressure on myself 24/7.
Energetic hygiene helps me disrupt these patterns and relieve the pressure I put on myself (while still being productive).
But How?
How do you practice energetic hygiene? It’s pretty simple.
First, be mindful of your state of being. Notice your thought patterns, emotions, reactivity, etc. Remember, awareness is the foundation of all positive change.
Then, include some of the following practices in your daily life (as often as you brush your teeth):
Dancing
Singing
Humming
Chanting
Snapping your fingers and clapping
Playing instruments
Using tuning forks
Meditating with essential oils
Burning sage or palo santo
Playing uplifting music
Breath-work
Being in nature
Swimming in natural bodies of water
Getting sunlight
Grounding/Earthing
Energy healing such as Reiki
Qigong and tai chi
Yoga
Prayer
Visualization
Laughter
There’s a lot more too. Anything that shifts your energy can be an energetic hygiene practice.
Do NOT underestimate the power of these modalities. Just because they’re simple doesn’t mean they’re not profound.
Commit to doing energetic hygiene practices. (I’m doing it, and I invite you to join me).
You will realize how burdened you’ve been your whole life, without even realizing it.
Mental, emotional and spiritual freedom is a simple practice away.
Tend to your energetic hygiene, and thrive as we move through these wild times together.
Much Love,

Thank you! Yes, this stuff is so important and can be easy to forget about.
Thank you so much Stephen for sharing this amazing part of hygiene we sometimes neglect.
Actually, the third line got me laughing when I read (I hope so)😂
Honestly this energetic hygiene is awesome and manifest physically. There is this quote that says "We are what we think" and that is true.
I realised I had to work on my thoughts and purge out all negativity and I have experienced a whole new me. It never ends there, daily practices bring continous amazing results.
Thanks once again ❤️
