Spring Cleaning for the Soul: Energetic Reset Rituals

  • Apr 2
  • 4 min read

Let’s be honest: physical spring cleaning gets all the attention. Closets are sorted, junk drawers are judged, and suddenly it seems essential to dust the top of the fridge.


But what about your energy?


If your space is sparkling but your spirit still feels cluttered, it’s time for something deeper.


An energetic reset clears out the subtle gunk—stress, old thoughts, that weird vibe from last week’s group text—and helps you feel more like yourself: light, clear, and just a little bit magical.


This isn’t about high-vibe hustle or spiritual perfectionism. It’s about shaking things off, lighting a candle, and saying, “Alright, let’s try this again.”


Let’s get started.


Hand lighting a white candle with a match. The setting is serene with natural decor. Soft lighting creates a calm atmosphere.

What Exactly Is an Energetic Reset?

Think of it like clearing your mental and emotional cache. Over time, our energy fields collect dust—unprocessed emotions, other people’s expectations, everyday overwhelm.


When that stuff piles up, you may feel:


  • Foggy or distracted

  • Restless, but not sure why

  • Like your intuition is muffled

  • A little dull around the edges


A good energetic reset doesn’t fix everything—but it gives you a moment to breathe, reground, and remember that your energy is yours.

When to Reset

There’s no wrong time, but spring practically begs for it. Other good times to press the energetic “refresh” button:


  • After a rough conversation or intense week

  • Before starting a new project

  • Around seasonal shifts or moon phases

  • When your space just feels... weird


And if you’re already clearing out closets and reorganizing shelves, you might as well clear the vibes while you’re at it.

A Spring Energetic Reset Ritual

This is simple, spacious, and designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether that’s energized and focused, or running on your third cup of tea wondering what day it is.


You’ll Need:

  • A candle you love (I suggest Citrus Vérité – bright, clean, and quietly invigorating)

  • Your favorite cleansing method: incense, sound, essential oils, or simple breath and intention

  • A grounding object: bowl of salt, stone, or something earthy

  • A journal (optional)

  • Something to sip (definitely not optional)


You can layer in scent with something fresh like Thé et Fleur or Bramble & Bay – both soft, green, and perfect for that “open the windows and let life back in” feeling.



Open book on white surface, surrounded by crystals, candle, and sage bundle, casting shadows. Calm, meditative mood.

Step 1: Light the Candle. Take a Breath.

Let this be the moment you step into something new.


Light your candle. Watch the flame for a few seconds—not for any deep metaphysical reason, but just because it helps you drop in.


Take three deep breaths.


Say aloud:

“I release what’s heavy. I invite in what’s true.”

That’s your threshold moment. You’re in it now.


Step 2: Cleanse the Space

Use your favorite method—incense, mist, sound, or just the sweep of your hand—to move through your space with intention. Start at your front door and move clockwise if it feels natural.


As you go, speak or think:

“This space is mine. I clear what no longer belongs.”

Don’t worry if it feels silly at first. Your energy knows exactly what you’re doing.


Step 3: Ground Yourself

Hold your salt bowl, stone, or grounding object. Close your eyes.


Visualize roots extending from your feet, anchoring you into the earth. You’re not floating through this world—you’re rooted in it.


Say:

“I am grounded. I am clear. I am steady.”

Sip your tea or water slowly. That’s part of the ritual too.


Step 4: Check In With You

You can journal, pull a card, or simply ask:


  • What am I ready to let go of?

  • What am I calling in?

  • Where do I need more space to breathe?


This isn’t about fixing your whole life. It’s about reconnecting with your center.


Step 5: Celebrate the Shift

You’ve just cleared out the energetic cobwebs. Let your body feel the shift.


Put on music. Dance barefoot in the kitchen. Stand in the sun. Reorganize a drawer if that feels good.


Magic doesn’t have to be serious to be real.


Quick Daily Reset (When You’re Short on Time)

Because real life doesn’t always leave room for full rituals:


  • Shake out your hands

  • Visualize a shower of golden light over your body

  • Say: “Anything not mine, I release.”


That’s it. You’ve done it.

A Whisper from the Wild

There’s something wildly satisfying about a clear room and a clear mind. And while we can’t always control the chaos of the world (or the inbox), we can reclaim our own energy.


Light the candle.

Sweep the space.

Call yourself back to yourself.


Spring is the perfect excuse—not that you need one.
