I wouldn’t necessarily call Micheal, but the smudge is helpful
Sacred Home Cleansing with Palo Santo & Archangel Michael Step 1 – Prepare the Space - Open windows or doors to let heavy energy flow out. - If you can, tidy up a little first (dust, sweep, declutter), because stagnant energy often clings to clutter. Step 2 – Center Yourself - Stand still, feet on the ground. - Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly. - Breathe deeply and say: “I am safe, I am ready to release what no longer belongs here.” Step 3 – Light the Palo Santo - Let the flame burn a few seconds, then gently blow it out so it smolders. - Hold the stick in your dominant hand. Step 4 – Call in Archangel MichaelRecite your invocation (the one you wrote): “As I light this Palo Santo, I invite Archangel Michael to enter my home with his radiant blue light of protection. May every corner be cleansed of fear, negativity, and stagnant energy, replaced with peace, clarity, and divine love. With his mighty sword, Michael severs all cords that do not serve my highest good, and with his shield, he surrounds this space in safety and light. My home is now a sanctuary of harmony, joy, and pure positive energy.” Step 5 – Walk the Space - Move slowly from room to room, letting the smoke drift into corners, closets, behind doors, and especially windows (these are entry/exit points for energy). - As you walk, imagine Archangel Michael walking with you, his blue flame cleansing and sealing each space. Step 6 – Seal the Home - Once you’ve circled through every room, return to the center of your home (or altar, if you have one). - Lift the Palo Santo and visualize a glowing shield of blue light surrounding the whole house. - Say: “This home is sealed in light. Only love may enter. Only love may remain.” Step 7 – Close the Ritual - Place the Palo Santo safely in a fireproof bowl to finish. - Thank Archangel Michael and your own higher self for co-creating this protection. - Sit in silence for a moment and notice how the air feels lighter.
