2013 New Year Cleanse

Here we are! How exciting!  Ready for a Do-Over! Yay! As is a custom in my family we began our New Year's cleanse early in the morning on 12/29.  I had grown bored of the tradition and slacked off for a few years...I'm not saying that my life has been a bad roller coaster because I didn't do the New Year's cleanse, but just in case this year it's a go with the family tradition once again!  

I called my mom and asked her for some pointers (I must admit...I heard the joy in her voice...and that made me happy!)  Happy not only because she is happy, but also because I feel like I am taking ownership of my life again!  I had always been a very spiritual person, but I let the ugly take over...NO MORE!  

So...back to the cleanse....

QUICK NOTE:  I had my mind set on preparing for this so I had a head start...and since I am off from work for two weeks...I have had a lot of time on my hands...BUT....the first few days of January are just a strong energy wise for doing this...it is said that as long as you do this before January 6th (the day of the Epiphany) you will reap the same rewards!


  • The first thing to do is to  put on music in the background or in your ipod..I created a playlist of positive feel good songs to keep my mind and spirit in tune with the work getting done….Open up the windows let the chi flow from nature….Have fun…get excited!!!
  • Second, turn on a candle and some incense.
  • Third start to clean your home and I mean much deeper than Spring Cleaning...out with the old and in with the new...
    • While cleaning I began a pile of different things that I would be donating that were no longer going to be part of my life..There are so many needy people in the world that this cleansing benefits all in the universe.
    • It's important to note that this cleansing is not only material but most importantly spiritual and this brings out many emotions...especially when you are ridding yourself of baggage...cry if you want...laugh if you want...but most importantly RELEASE...don't get angry... know that so much BETTER is coming into your life...it's already knocking on your door...there is nothing holding you back from your best life ever!  Some things need to leave so that better things come...Perhaps you lost someone close (know that it was their time and now they are another angel looking out for you)...perhaps you lost a love(I know it hurts..but learn the lesson and know that what is coming is better) This New Year will be much more nurturing the energy coming forth from the Universe is very different..
  • I usually try to rearrange furniture (remembering the principles of feng shui..don't go making things worse just because you think you HAVE to move things around) Sometimes space doesn't permit it and that's o.k...just make sure you clean under and around that is enough moving :)
  • Once you are finished with your home cleansing now you are ready to begin on yourself. The following bath is prepared for love and prosperity for the new year..following are the ingredients that you will need:
    • Roses (Only the petals)
      • When you are removing the petals ask for what you want make each petal a wish..reinforce your wishes don't be afraid…the sky is the limit!
    • Cinnamon Sticks
    • Honey (3tbsp)
    • Body Splash or Perfume that you use
    • Road Opener Perfume
    • Come to Me Perfume
      • Remember that if you want luck you have to start by letting go of all that holds you back.  Forget about all of your bad experiences remember those are only put in our path to learn from them.  Don't be scarred..fear only holds us back…instead EMBRACE all the good that is coming your way..allow yourself to be excited!
    • Water (Gallon)
  • Mix all of the above ingredients on the stove let them boil for about ten minutes and then let them sit to warm and comfortable temperature..I found that I had enough for about three baths filling up 3 water bottles. 
  • Set up your bathroom with a candle and mediate…look in the mirror…and I mean really look at yourself(at first this may not be very simple..there's a difference with looking in the mirror and looking at ourselves in the mirror..I found that initially I kept looking away..and then I truly saw myself..saw who I was..saw who I wanted to be and at that time I closed my eyes and began to visualize…visualize the life that I wanted..visualized me enjoying that life..you see how we get there is up to the Universe…we just need to visualize the final product!)
  • Now it's finally bath time…take a regular shower while cleansing yourself inside and out.
  • For luck all around wear a brand new pair of yellow underwear..for love and passion obviously red.
  • My mom loves to travel..so at midnight she grabs a suitcase and runs around the house with it…for the record..she hasn't stopped traveling yet!
