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.
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.
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.

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.
