In my personal Journey towards spiritual cleansing, I found healing and comfort in the practices above. Hover over the pictures above to see my personal spiritual cleansing practices. A few I was familiar with from my youth but had not really allowed myself to explore in any real personal or vulnerable way. Others I had only heard of, and due to confused, limiting, and in some cases, inherited beliefs, I had never even allowed myself to begin to explore them. In my circumstances, after I hit my personal rock bottom of self-value and personal worth, I was confronted with the reality that change needed to happen in my life, and it needed to begin in me first. In my mind, in my body & in my spirit.

       For me, it was glaringly apparent, as I sat in the bottom of my pit, that I had let the body part of the equation fall to such an unhealthy place in my life that the repercussions had imposed devastatingly in the other two areas. Though at that point, I was so low, I was only focusing on the most tangible piece of the equation, weight loss, and for mostly vain reasons tbh. I am not proud of that last point, but it is my truth all the same. As my body quickly began to feel healthier than it had, maybe in my entire adult life, it became easier for me to focus on the benefits of my detox for all the many reasons besides the weight loss. It also became apparent that it was even more necessary and far easier for me to begin executing my mind cleanse next.

       The spiritual cleansing began somewhere in the middle of these other self-care exercises. It began slowly, a few uncomfortable truths revealed to me at a time. Things that, at first, I tried to ignore, suppress & bury, but also the types of things that have a way of rearing their ugly head at unexpected times before fully imploding us entirely when we least expect it. That's exactly what happened to me. I spent a few months unraveling the mess in my spirit that all of my years of ignoring, suppressing & burying had created. I did so with the help of these practices.

Chakra Aligning

       Each of these practices have had transformative results for me in my personal care journey. So much so, that each one will be the focus of its own blog, in a series I will be sharing over the next number of months. For each practice listed, there is a story of spiritual cleansing, and I will share my experiences and best practices to keep in mind as you explore your own spiritual cleansing journey. As each blog posts, you will also find links being added to the list in this post for easy access to them all in one place.  Whether you read my experiences in the other blogs, or simply seek out intentional ways to reach spiritual cleansing, it's important that you do. The peace that can be found, and the weight that can be lifted from doing so has the potential to accelerate your progress in a profound way.
