Being around someone with lousy energy is one thing, but when the energy in your home doesn’t feel quite right, it’s time to take action. Also known as energetic hygiene, an energy cleanse “moves on” energy that feels old, dense or negative. We spoke with Danya Gamliel, a 5th-generation clairvoyant, who shared her simple step-by-step guide to cleansing your home’s energy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Place a tablespoon of salt (like Pink Himalayan) in small bowls by your front door and on each side of the bed.
- Leave the salt for three days, then discard it down the drain (not outside) and replace with fresh salt.
- Repeat this process at least three times a month for three months for best results.
- Watch for signs your home needs cleansing, like poor sleep, low motivation, or more frequent arguments.
How to change the energy in your home
Danya says a home energy cleanse will “create a lightness around you.”
“When we feel stressed, sad or demotivated, our homes absorb this energy, and its essence can linger afterwards. Cleansing the home regularly will reset the energy field and create a lightness around you.”
“This also applies when we move into a new home. The energy of the previous occupants or even workers (builders, painters etc.) can impact how we feel inside the home because their energy is still hanging around. A cleanse will rid all of this.”
Signs your home needs an energy cleanse
If you’re tired, lazy and uninspired, these are all signs your home might need an energy cleanse.
Other common signs to look for are:
- poor sleep (with no medical reason)
- lack of motivation or interest
- increased procrastination
- bad dreams
- overall feeling uninspired
- lethargy
- more frequent arguments with other people living in the home.

Ways to cleanse your home of bad energy
There are many ways to cleanse your home, including burning sage, using water and using sound.
Burning – The smoke from burning incense, sage, or palo santo helps ward off anything unwelcome in the space.
“By holding one of these items and walking around the home – room to room, you are removing any energy that isn’t ‘pleasant’ and replacing it with the smoke,” says Danya.
Water – Pour some water into a bowl deep enough to immerse your hand. Walk around your home, flicking some of the water. Danya says you can say a little prayer as you go.
Sound – Walking around your home drumming, using a singing bowl or even clapping can help clear energy. “The vibration and sound intend to dispel energy that’s not wanted in the home,” says Danya.
But the best way to remove bad energy from your home is with salt.

Why is salt best for an energy cleanse?
Salt is perfect for cleansing your home because it’s readily available and non-toxic. It can be used around pets and small children.
Danya says it’s also “an environmentally friendly and inexpensive way to cleanse the home.”
How to cleanse your home with salt
Here is Danya’s simple step-by-step guide to keeping your home’s energy clear.
- Take a tablespoon of salt, such as Pink Himalayan.
- Place the salt into a small bowl/s
- Place the bowl/s on the inside of your front door and one on each side of the bed.
- Keep the salt in the bowl for three days.
- After three days, throw the salt out – down the drain is safe; please don’t throw this outside onto the earth, as it may not be best for the environment.
- Replace the same bowl/s with fresh salt
