As we know, smudging (closed practice) and smoke cleansing aren’t the only types of cleansing. But what exactly is sound cleansing?

Sound cleansing, for all intents and purposes, is cleansing an area using sound. Sound is made up of vibrations, right? Different sounds have different vibrational frequencies. Energy is vibrations too, right? With that knowledge, the sounds that you use to cleanse an area will break up the energy that you’re trying to get rid of.

But how do you use sounds to cleanse an area?

I mentioned different frequencies, but I didn’t mention intent. You can use anything that makes sound to cleanse, but you also have to match your intent. Here are some different ways to cleanse with sound:

Bang pots and pans (a little chaotic, but also my personal favorite)

Use a bell

Tell the energy to f*** off (another of my personal favorites)

A singing bowl

Banging your staff on the ground/floor (I’ve used this one a lot with my old staff)

Sing/hum

Play music that resonates with your intent

Crystals that correspond with banishment in a jar/cup/bowl and shake them around!

Clap your hands
