When to do it
When you get home after an intense day, after a deep clean or a visit, or on a Sunday morning. It is especially fitting during a waning moon, the phase of letting go.
What you need
- A small bell (a metal bowl and a spoon also work)
- A window you can open
- A glass of water
- A comfortable corner to sit in
Step by step
- Open a window to let in fresh air and leave the glass of water in your comfortable corner.
- Start at the front door: ring the bell three times and listen until the sound has completely faded.
- Walk through your home room by room and repeat the three rings in each one, especially near doorways and in corners. Meanwhile, think: "Whatever weighs on me leaves with the air."
- Return to your corner, sit down and ring the bell one last time. Close your eyes and follow the sound into silence, breathing slowly.
- Sip the water slowly, close the window and say: "My home is calm, and so am I."
Safety first
These rituals are symbolic. Do not ingest herbs or oils, ventilate the room when burning incense or herbs, and never perform a ritual to harm or control anyone.
To finish
Repeat the ritual whenever the atmosphere feels heavy; over time, a single ring will be enough to remind you that you can pause. If you live with others, let them know first so nobody is startled. To strengthen it, pair it with the rosemary energy cleansing.
