4 Rituals to Spring Clean Your Energy

Spring is a time of renewal—a season to clear away stagnation and refresh your mind, body, and spirit. While many focus on tidying up their homes, cleansing your energy could be just as essential for overall well-being.

Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi instructors teach a traditional East Asian wellness principle that Qi (vital energy or life energy) flows through and around you, just like the changing seasons. According to this tradition, however, stress, negativity, and external influences can block this energy flow throughout the day. Following the principle of Qi, regular energy cleansing is important because it allows you to release what no longer serves you and invite fresh, vibrant energy into your life.

Below are four simple yet powerful rituals to help spring clean your energy—using nature’s elements to restore balance and vitality.

1. Purify Your Qi with Hwangchil Incense

For centuries, our sense of smell has been used as a mood-altering form of therapy. Incense, in particular, has a long history of uses for enhancing meditation and focus. Incense made from herbs known to be beneficial like Hwangchil (Dendropanax morbifera), made without harmful additives, can be safely used to provide a calming, pleasant scent. Be sure to use a metal or ceramic holder when burning incense.

Why Hwangchil?

Hwangchil is a Korean medicinal plant with deep roots in ancient healing traditions. Known today for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, it has been used since ancient times to clear negative energy and promote meditation and focus.

Get Cleansing:

  • Place a stick of Hwangchil Incense in a stable fire-safe container.
  • Light the incense and let the natural herbal aroma surround you.
  • As the smoke rises, visualize stress and negativity dissolving from your body.
  • Hold your hands over the smoke and gently bring them over your head and down your body, allowing the cleansing energy to envelop you.
  • Set an intention: “I release all negative energy and welcome peace and harmony into my life.”
  • For an even deeper cleansing, let the incense purify your home by wafting the smoke through each room.

2. Detox and Recharge with Healing Tea

In East Asian cultures, tea is not just for hydration. Since the time of Lao Tzu, founder of the philosophy of Tao (the balance and oneness of universal energy), ancient texts have documented the importance of teas for restoring energetic balance. Modern research shows that plants with adaptogenic properties can help us improve our ability to adapt to stressful phenomena. An easy way to consume adaptogenic herbs is in the form of hot tea.

Why Detox Healing Tea?

Our Detox Healing Tea is made from the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant herbs Hwangchil extract, burdock root, and lotus leaf. Drinking this herbal tea regularly is a healthy habit that is perfect for restoring the healthy flow of Qi energy, allowing you to feel lighter and more vibrant.

Get Cleansing:

  • Boil water and steep one bag of Detox Healing Tea for 5–7 minutes.
  • Sit in a comfortable, quiet space and take slow, mindful sips.
  • As you drink, imagine the warmth of the tea dissolving any tension and purifying your Qi.
  • Take a deep breath and affirm: “With each sip, I restore balance and harmony within.”

Start your day with a cup of Detox Healing Tea for a natural energy reset.

3. Energy Bathing: Soak Away Stress with Essential Oils

Water is naturally cleansing, and when combined with aromatherapy, it becomes a powerful tool for energetic renewal. Studies have shown that essential oils which are known to be beneficial, such as bergamot, peppermint, and citrus oils, can be used to temporarily reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.

Get Cleansing:

  • Draw a warm bath and add 10 drops of Bird of the Soul Essential Oil, which blends citrus and herbal extracts for aromatic relaxation.
  • As you soak, visualize stagnant energy dissolving into the water.
  • Inhale deeply and set the intention to release stress and welcome in renewed vitality.

4. Connect with Nature: Grounding for Total Rejuvenation

Being in Nature is one of the fastest ways to cleanse and recharge your Qi. The earth’s energy is naturally grounding, and studies confirm that contact with natural environments reduces stress and boosts well-being.

Get Cleansing:

  • Spend at least 15 minutes outside daily—gardening, walking barefoot, or sitting by a tree.
  • Breathe deeply and feel the earth’s energy flowing up through your body.
  • Imagine any heavy or stagnant energy draining away into the ground, replaced by fresh, healing Qi.

Pair your outdoor practice with a warm cup of Detox Healing Tea to amplify the cleansing effect.
