Begin by clearing out unwanted items, broken furniture, or anything that no longer serves a purpose. A clutter-free home promotes a positive energy flow, making space for new blessings.
Deep cleaning is essential before Diwali. Dust and dirt accumulate negativity, so cleaning each room, especially corners, removes stagnant energy. Consider using eco-friendly cleaners or homemade solutions with lemon or vinegar.
Salt is believed to absorb negative energy. Add a pinch of salt to the water you use to mop floors, particularly in spaces where you feel energy is dense. This will help purify your home’s energy.
Camphor and incense sticks are traditionally used to purify air and energy. Light them every morning to fill your space with a calming aroma, which is said to cleanse negativity and invite positive vibrations.
The vibrations from sacred chants or mantras, such as the 'Gayatri Mantra' or 'OM' chants, can clear negativity and harmonise your home's energy. Play them during the day or evening for an enhanced peaceful ambiance.
Fresh flowers and plants bring natural beauty and positivity into your space. Consider adding tulsi (holy basil), bamboo, or peace lilies, which are known for purifying indoor air and spreading positive energy.
Essential oils like lavender, sandalwood, and sage are known for their cleansing and soothing properties. Diffusing these oils uplifts the mood of the home and dispels negativity, promoting a warm, welcoming environment.
Diya lighting is not only a Diwali tradition but also a way to spread positive energy. Place diyas in every corner of your house, particularly near the entrance, to ward off darkness and usher in light and positivity.
Sprinkle a few drops of holy water, like Ganga Jal, around your home. This is considered auspicious in Hindu culture and is believed to cleanse the space, bringing divine energy and purity.
Decorate entrances with torans made of mango leaves or marigold flowers. Torans are believed to block negative energy from entering. Create vibrant rangolis near doorways to invite Goddess Lakshmi into your home.
