Spring is in the Air

Written By Kindred Spirits .

Heyyy y’all!

Spring officially arrived on March 20th, so even though I’m a little late, I still want to spread the cheer and excitement of one of my favorite seasons! I hope you’ve taken the time and space for some spring cleaning both physically and spiritually to maintain your spiritual hygiene. Out with the old and in with the new energy, because what we won’t do is hold on to or harbor anything from the winter months!

The new year started off pretty rocky in America, and I just want to send out a gentle reminder that we all need to take care of ourselves just a little more myself included. February was a progressive and busy month, and March didn’t slow down either (after all, it is Women’s Month!). As a collective, we love to win especially in this Nu Era that so many of us are stepping into. It’s been beautiful to watch all the girlies level up, but in the midst of it all, we have to stay grounded guys included.

So, I want to share some tips not only for cleansing and clearing your space but also for staying grounded during these busy seasons. Let’s step into this new season refreshed and aligned! 🌿✨

Physical Cleansing

  1. Declutter First – Get rid of unused, broken, or unnecessary items. Donate or recycle what you can.

  2. Deep Clean Surfaces – Wipe down walls, shelves, and baseboards. Use natural cleaners like vinegar, lemon, or essential oils.

  3. Wash Fabrics – Clean curtains, pillowcases, rugs, and blankets to refresh the air quality.

  4. Reorganize – Shift furniture around for better flow and alignment with how you want to feel in your space.

  5. Bring in Fresh Air – Open windows and doors to allow stagnant air to leave.

Energetic Cleansing

  1. Smudging with Herbs – Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to clear negative energy. Move around your space with intention.

  2. Salt Cleansing – Place bowls of Himalayan salt in corners of rooms to absorb negative energy. Replace every few weeks.

  3. Sound Cleansing – Use bells, singing bowls, or clapping to break up stagnant energy.

  4. Essential Oils & Sprays – Diffuse or spray lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus oils to uplift your space.

  5. Crystals for Cleansing – Place selenite, black tourmaline, or clear quartz around your home to protect and purify.

  6. Set Intentions – Speak affirmations or prayers for renewal and positivity as you clean.

  7. Water Rituals – Mop floors with tea tree oil or herb-infused water to cleanse away old energy.

Mind & Body Practices

  • Breathwork – Take deep, intentional breaths (e.g., box breathing: inhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec, exhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec).

  • Meditation & Mindfulness – Spend 5–10 minutes a day in stillness, focusing on your breath, sensations, or surroundings.

  • Yoga & Stretching – Incorporate grounding poses like Mountain Pose, Child’s Pose, and Tree Pose to stabilize your energy.

  • Physical Movement – Walk barefoot on grass (earthing), do gentle exercises, or dance to reconnect with your body.

  • Nutrition & Hydration – Eat grounding foods like root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes), nuts, and whole grains; drink enough water.

    Emotional & Spiritual Grounding

  • Journaling – Write about your thoughts, feelings, and what you’re grateful for to gain clarity.

  • Affirmations – Repeat grounding affirmations like “I am rooted, I am present, I am safe.”

  • Boundaries & Saying No – Protect your time and energy by prioritizing what truly matters.

  • Daily Check-ins – Ask yourself: How am I feeling? What do I need right now? I use the InsightTimer app

  • Slow Down & Rest – Give yourself permission to pause, even if it’s just 5 minutes of stillness.

    Environmental Grounding

  • Connect with Nature – Spend time outdoors, touch trees, feel the wind, or sit in the sun.

  • Use Grounding Scents – Essential oils like sandalwood, vetiver, cedarwood, and frankincense can help stabilize energy.

  • Carry Grounding Crystals – Black tourmaline, hematite, or smoky quartz can help absorb excess energy and keep you centered.

  • Limit Digital Overload – Take breaks from screens and social media to reconnect with yourself.

Be kind to yourself this message applies to me as well because these past few months have been very stressful and draining and I’m having to constantly reground myself to stay the course. It is not easy but when we are intentional about making time for ourselves it’s always worth it. So here is your reminder to love and care for yourself a little more in your busy seasons
