Growing up the change from winter to spring was also met by many changes right at home. It was the time of year when my mother would scurry around the house to perform her yearly spring cleaning. Winter sweaters and jackets were placed in tote bins and moved back down to the basement. Thick, heavy drapes were replaced with bright, sheer linens. Cabinets were cleared and closets were cleaned, oh were the closets cleaned!

As a household we lightened our load every spring. As the heavy clothes retreated to the basement and the mountain of clothes that no longer fit were donated to Goodwill, our physical load lightened - and so did our family energy. Suddenly, life seemed lighter, brighter, and full of ease. Any dark, negative energy lingering from the dark winter days was swept away along with the rock salt on the boot trays.

Now that it is officially spring, I’ve been thinking - What does spring cleaning look like for me?

The truth is that I crave simplicity, which is why I don’t have many excess things at home. For this reason, spring cleaning doesn’t necessarily look like a complete closest reassessment. Instead, spring cleaning for me is more about reevaluating the energies in my life. It is becoming intentional about which energies no longer fit and letting them go. It is also about recognizing which energies feel really wonderful and allowing them to move to the front of the energy closet, so to speak.

This year, spring cleaning for me is less of a closet conundrum and more of an energetic evaluation. If you’re looking to trade the closet redesign for an energetic overhaul, Star Essence has a few powerful essence blends to guide your spring cleaning.

Reach for our Shield of Light essence blend to enhance harmonic frequencies around you so that nothing disruptive can enter your field. This one is especially beneficial when visiting places with potentially harsh energy where one desires to be of service without being adversely affected.

Looking for an elixir of light this spring? Vortex of Harmony is for you. This essence blend supports the matrix of light within and around us to keep our vibration aligned with peace, well-being, and the highest good. This formula promotes an elevation of thoughts to move us out of fear and negativity and into higher vibrations. Vortex of Harmony also offers protection from outside influences and supports remaining in balance as external occurrences take place.

Get creative with your spring cleaning

Of course you can take these essences orally, which is the most traditional way to use them. However, it can be fun to get creative and use the essences in new and exciting ways this spring. Try adding Shield of Light and Vortex of Harmony to your favorite room sprays to clear negative energy while you clear unwanted odors. Place a few drops of essences in cleaning solutions to simultaneously eliminate germs and negative energy. One of my favorites is to add essences to bathwater and soak in a warm pool of positive vibes!
