Spring cleaning gets a lot of press, but fall cleaning makes just as much sense. After all, in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, we’re shutting our windows and getting ready to camp out at home for winter and the holidays, so of course we want to create a clean, cozy, organized, and energetically positive space for the months ahead.

Today, diffuse cinnamon and clove essential oils as you give your home a good, thorough cleaning. If you have time, you might also want to clear clutter and tackle some of the cleaning projects you haven’t gotten to for a while. Finish by lighting a stick of cedar incense, holding it over a dish or plate and giving the entire home a light yet powerful smudge. Move through each room and area in a clockwise direction with the smoke to bless the home with harmony, clarity, protection, energy, and health.
