Spirituality and being energetically tuned in with oneself, has become increasingly mainstream. A happy development indeed. But one can't help but correlate
the pertinent need to self-ground oneself with the heightened cases of emotional imbalance, anxiety and mental health struggles. Often, when nothing 'logical' seems to work, only the 'woo woo' comes handy. The following spiritual hygiene hacks, shared by Shamanic ancestral healer Vani Kabir, are simple, straightforward and require minimal effort - but still promise to work wonders.
Call on a Higher Power to Clear Your Path
You don't even need to know of any specific angels or deities to practice this. Simply call upon a divine being - keep it ambiguous - and ask them to reach before you and clear your path, particularly on days you feel will be tougher or you can sense the fear and uncertainty taking over. Chances are, your day will be significantly smoother than you were anticipating.
Sleep with a Bowl of Water by Your Bed
This one's potentially the simplest. Go to bed everyday with a bowl of water by your head. Drain it first thing in the morning and watch your day go by with a heightened sense of clarity, insight and productivity. In spiritual practices, water is considered as a significantly powerful element taking on the energies it is fed, explaining the efficacy of this hack.
Cancel Negative Self-Talk
Abandoning negative self-talk feels like a mammoth task - and rightly so. So even if you slip up, Kabir has the perfect spiritual hack up her sleeve. Simply follow a ranting session with the phrase: "Cancel, cancel violet flame." The 'violet flame' here represents transformation and purification, cleansing your spiritual aura or the weight of the negativity you just directed towards yourself.
Shed the Past With Your Haircut
The next time you're on your way to a haircut appointment, simply set intentions with regards to exactly what you'd like to shed from your energetic field and aura. Hold the thought during the haircut and Kabir promises you will feel lighter, brighter and happier after it - because hair does hold memories, it's up to you to set the intention of letting go of the lot that's not serving you.
Plants and Flowers Carry Messages
Our brain and eyes often pick up on cues that we don't fully understand. Kabir says if your eye or heart feels particularly pulled or fixated on a plant or flower - and you can't figure out the reason behind it - simply Google its spiritual meaning. Such fixations tend to be subconscious pulls, representing a message from the Universe. It's up to us to read between the lines.
Invoke Power In Your Name
When you come to think of it, very few others will utter your name with as much pride and joy as you do. And if increased wealth is what your heart desires, Kabir asks you to get to it. She suggests using your name in conversations, while journaling and even while meditation. Not only does it energetically personify you in the moment, it puts you on the same frequency as authority and assertion, making your actions, and the results, more real and actionable.
