# Spiritual Hygiene

Just as you wash your body, your space and energy field benefit from regular tending too. Environments hold residue, and your intention shapes what you encounter.

## Cleansing your space

- See the Daily Sadhana action items that will also affect your space. The humans in a space have the greatest impact upon its vibration.
- Chanting is a very powerful way to raise vibration in a space. You can use any sound you enjoy that connects you to yourself. Chanting in the mind is more powerful than out loud.
- Clear and declutter one space in your home right now
- Clean and declutter: every object carries a subtle energetic weight, see Marie Kondo and A monk's guide to a clean house and mind
- Cleaning is extremely important, as any dirt and detritus will repel higher consciousness beings and attract those from the lower realms, just like how if you leave a mess insects will be drawn to it, the same applies to non physical beings. A clean home and a clean heart are pre-requisites to connecting to angelic and divine beings.
- Open windows daily and allow light and fresh air to circulate through your space
- Remove electronics from the room, or at minimum cover screens
- Try a sound cleansing — ring a brass bell, play a singing bowl, or put on Solfeggio tones for 10 minutes
- Use pure frequency: a brass bell with bright tones, a tibetan or crystal singing bowl, download and play a Tarpan music, or Solfeggio tone music in the background on your phone.
- Burn natural incense or diffuse pure essential oils (frankincense, sage, palo santo)

How often should I cleanse?

A light daily clearing (open window, intention setting) and a deeper weekly reset (sound, smoke, decluttering) is a sustainable rhythm. After arguments, illness, or visits from heavy energy, cleanse immediately and go outside for a walk.

## Clearing Sleep Space

Your bedroom is the most important room to tend. You spend a third of your life there, in a more unconscious and receptive state. Make your bed as soon as you wake up, crumpled sheets create surprisingly discordant energy. It also helps you feel you've achieved something and sets the precedent to take care of yourself and your life.

Before sleeping you can light a ghee or sattvic oil lamp, being careful it will not be disturbed or near any flammable items. You could keep a shrine or altar with items that make you happy and feel love, that could be family or those who have inspired you who have good character.

### Intention

Before sleep, state clearly — aloud or internally:

> I invite only energies of the highest light to interact with me. My space is sovereign. My field is clear.

- Set this intention aloud before sleep tonight

You don't need to believe in guides for this to work. The practice is about setting a boundary and orienting your awareness toward what is loving, clear, and true. Whatever your framework — ancestors, angels, higher self, or simply the clearest version of your own consciousness — the act of calling it in is what matters.

## Sound as medicine

The frequencies you surround yourself with shape your nervous system. Consider:

- Solfeggio tones — a set of frequencies used in alternative healing traditions:1
- 432 Hz — often described as calming and naturally resonant
- 528 Hz — sometimes called the "love frequency" and associated with transformation in alternative medicine circles
- Natural classical — Debussy, Ravi Shankar — music that creates space rather than filling it
- Kirtan and mantra — collective chanting that synchronizes heart rates and entrains the group field

The rule is simple: if a song has a single negative word or message, skip it. The subconscious absorbs everything. Curate your sound environment as carefully as your food.

- Try a week of only positive, uplifting music — no negative lyrics

## Group singing, toning, and joy

Human voices together are one of the most powerful frequency generators available. Group singing — kirtan, toning, community choirs, or just friends around a fire — synchronizes nervous systems, releases oxytocin, and creates a field of shared vibration that lingers long after the sound stops.

Pair this with:

- Uplifting art — surround yourself with images that open the heart
- Light-hearted comedy — laughter is a genuine cleansing practice
- Positive energy events — gatherings where the purpose is simply to feel good together
- Joy maxxing is relentlessly choosing what your heart calls you to do, even if you would have been shy or too scared to pursue it normally. It could be wearing that silly hat, or singing and dancing in the rain. Take at least one day a week or one hour a day to really follow your heart!

## Mass meditations and peace visualization

When large numbers of people hold the same intention simultaneously, something measurable shifts. A 2017 study of large Transcendental Meditation groups found a 28.4% reduction in murder rates across 206 US urban areas during periods when the practicing group exceeded a critical threshold.2 Similar studies have reported reductions in violent crime, traffic fatalities, and drug-related deaths during the same periods.

Join global mass meditations when they are called. Or gather a small group — even three people — and sit together with the intention of peace and the most positive timeline for humanity.

Create something tangible to crystallize the intention: a doodle, a piece of art, a short written statement of what that positive timeline looks like for you. Make it specific. Make it beautiful. Keep it visible.

While many people find them subjectively calming, there is no rigorous scientific evidence that specific frequencies repair DNA or produce specific physiological effects. A 2019 review noted that most published studies on 432 Hz music are small and preliminary. scienceinsights.org ↩
