CLEANSING THIRFTED ITEMS
Bringing second-hand items into our lives can be exciting, but have you ever considered the energetic imprints these items may carry? Whether it's furniture, clothing, or accessories, second-hand items can harbour the energy of their previous owners.
In this article, we'll explore the importance of cleansing second-hand items energetically. We'll provide practical methods to remove any lingering negative or stagnant energy and infuse these items with fresh and positive vibrations.
I love to purchase items sustainably - and some vintage items are often the most interesting and fashionable.
Some of my greatest memories of my childhood were going to the Camberwell Market with my mum (here in Melbourne) and looking through so many beautiful items of jewellery, vintage denim and interesting dresses. Here are some handy ways to cleanse the energy from items that have been pre-worn!
- Jewellery: Please follow the jewellery cleanse by clicking the back button below.
- Clothing: If this can be washed, then wash with chamomile tea bags. It works as a gentle cleanse and restoration toward peaceful energy.
If the clothing can not be washed (leather jacket etc.), take a box or something you can place the item into; sprinkle the bottom of the box with salt and place tissue over the layer. Then you can put the item onto the tissue, put more tissue over it, and more salt on the tissue (so that the salt doesn’t touch the item in case it can erode the material). Leave it for three days, discard it, and repeat with fresh salt! - Shoes: Leave these out during a full moon for a couple of nights
- Artwork and Furniture: Place salt lamps next to these and have the lamps lit through the night during a full moon. This will absorb and remove anything that’s not YOURS.
- Mirrors: Same as the artwork, but you can also say positive affirmations whilst looking into the mirror. “I am safe and protected; all around me is positive and comforting." I would do this for three days.
When we bring second-hand items into our lives, it's crucial to cleanse them energetically to ensure a clean and uplifting energy within our space.
Energy can attach itself to objects, and by releasing any residual energy from the previous owners, we create a clean slate for ourselves. Embrace the practices shared in this article to harmonise the energy of second-hand items and invite positive vibrations into your life.
