How to Cleanse Your Home Using Selenite, Incense, or Sound

November 11, 20252 min read

Your home holds energy just like you do — and over time, stress, visitors, and daily life can create energetic buildup. Cleansing your space helps restore balance, peace, and a sense of flow. At Black River Crystal, we teach three simple and powerful ways to cleanse your home: selenite, incense, and sound. Each method is gentle, effective, and perfect for beginners or experienced energy workers.


🌙 1. Cleansing With Selenite (The Gentle Light Cleanse)

Selenite is one of the most powerful energy-cleansing crystals. It doesn’t absorb energy — it moves it, clears it, and raises the vibration of any space.

How to use it:

  • Place selenite sticks or towers in the corners of your home

  • Sweep a selenite wand through rooms with slow, intentional movements

  • Keep a selenite bar above doorways to maintain energetic flow

  • Use selenite to cleanse other crystals you keep in your space

Best for:

✨ Gentle daily cleansing
✨ Keeping the home’s energy clear
✨ Maintaining spiritual or ritual spaces


🔥 2. Cleansing With Incense (The Traditional Smoke Cleanse)

Incense has been used for centuries to refresh and uplift energy. The scent alone can shift a room instantly. You can use stick incense, cones, or resin depending on preference.

How to use it:

  • Light incense and move slowly through each room

  • Allow the smoke to drift naturally — no need to wave it aggressively

  • Focus on corners, hallways, and areas with stagnant energy

  • Set a simple intention like: “I release old energy and welcome in peace.”

Best for:

✨ Emotional reset
✨ Clearing heavy or stagnant energy
✨ Preparing for meditation or reflection


🔔 3. Cleansing With Sound (The Vibrational Reset)

Sound is one of the most powerful ways to shift energy instantly. It breaks up stagnant pockets and restores harmony.

Tools you can use:

  • Bells

  • Singing bowls

  • A chime

  • Even clapping your hands

How to use it:

  • Walk through your home making gentle sound in each room

  • Sound especially helps in corners and areas where energy feels “stuck”

  • Play a singing bowl to harmonize the entire space

Best for:

✨ Quick resets
✨ Energetic “spring cleaning”
✨ Homes with heavy emotional energy


🌟 Which Method Should You Use?

All three work beautifully — and many people combine them.
For example:

  • Selenite for daily clarity

  • Incense for emotional release

  • Sound for deep energetic shifts

Trust what feels right for your home.
