Ritual of cleansing to renew energies during the Winter Solstice
To perform the ritual, simply burn incense, dry sage, and copal, pass it all over your body (at a considerable distance so as not to burn yourself).
As you do so, set an intention such as: "I release all that no longer serves me for my highest good". After you have done this with yourself, you can go around your house waving the wand in the corners and centres of each room or anywhere you feel the need to cleanse. Trust your intuition.
After the ritual, open all the windows to vent the smoke and let fresh new energy into your home.
Finally, you can take a bath and while relaxing in the bath, say the following: "I free myself from everything bad around me and offer my gratitude".
