Happy New Year. This simple post is meant to help you refresh the energy of your home and create a lighter, more supportive space as the new year begins. May 2026 bring you infinite blessings!

Space Clearing

When the energy in your space feels heavy, stagnant, or emotionally cluttered, a simple smoke clearing can gently shift the atmosphere. Each of the tools below carries its own unique quality, yet all can support purification, upliftment, and an energetic refresh within your home.

Copal — Purification + Uplift

Copal has a clean, cleansing quality that can make a space feel refreshed, like opening a window and letting in fresh air.

It’s beautiful for:

• Releasing lingering or heavy energy

• Refreshing a space after difficult conversations

• Easing stuck or stagnant energy

• Uplifting the overall mood of a room

Its energy is often experienced as a gentle space reset.

Palo Santo — Calm + Harmonize

Palo Santo (holy wood) is known for its warm, grounding aroma and is often associated with calm and balance.

It’s wonderful for:

• grounding the space

• inviting peace

• supporting meditation

• supporting emotional ease

It’s often experienced as easing heaviness while inviting a softer, sweeter energy into the space.

Frankincense — Sacred + Centering

Frankincense has a long history of ceremonial and spiritual use and is often associated with clarity and focus.

It’s ideal for:

• supporting a calm, clear atmosphere in a room

• deepening prayer, meditation, or healing sessions

• creating a sense of intention and reverence

• supporting the release of energetic blockages

It encourages a grounded, centered feeling that may make it easier to slow down, focus, and be present.

How to Use Them

1. Light your chosen tool and let it catch a gentle ember.

2. Move slowly through the space, corners, doorways, and around your body.

3. Hold a simple intention such as:
   “Clear what feels heavy. Invite in peace and calm.”

4. Allow fresh air to circulate so old energy can release.

⚠️ Safety Notes

• Always use a heat-safe dish.

• Never leave burning tools unattended.

• Crack a window while clearing.

• Keep pets and children out of the smoke.

• If you are sensitive to smoke, consider shorter clears or alternative methods such as sound or intention-based clearing.
