5 Daily Energy‑Clearing Practices You Can Do at Home

What is Energy Clearing?

Energy clearing, also known as energy cleansing, is the practice of releasing stagnant, negative, or unwanted energy from the body, mind, and environment. Rooted in both ancient traditions and modern wellness philosophies, this practice acknowledges that we’re not just physical beings—we are also energetic. Throughout the day, we can experience emotional residue, environmental stressors, and even the energy of others, which may leave us feeling drained, anxious, or out of alignment.

At its core, energy clearing is about restoring energetic balance and helping us return to a more grounded, vibrant state. It’s a holistic maintenance tool for the subtle energy body, which complements physical and emotional self-care routines. According to Yoga Journal^[1], experienced energy healers use tools like visualisation ("Bubble of Light"), de-cording (cutting energetic ties), and grounding exercises to routinely reset their energy fields. There’s also growing recognition in the wellness community that energy cleansing can have tangible effects on our mental and emotional well-being. Techniques such as smudging, breathwork, and meditation can help calm the nervous system, increase emotional resilience, and promote inner clarity^[2]. Similarly, energy clearing can be beneficial after emotionally intense events such as illness, arguments, stressors or exposure to toxic or 'low vibe' environments, acting as a reset for your energetic hygiene^[3]. 

Energy clearing is not limited to just spiritual practitioners; everyone can partake in the practice when faced with irritability, exhaustion, brain fog or just a general feeling of malaise or heaviness, which may indicate it’s time for an energetic reset^[4]. These symptoms often reflect energetic congestion that can be gently released through daily practices, many of which are accessible to anyone from the comfort of their home.

Ultimately, energy clearing is about empowerment. It gives you the tools to reclaim your energy, restore balance, and reconnect with your inner vitality—especially in a fast-paced world that constantly pulls your attention in multiple directions. Whether you’re new to the concept or seeking to deepen your existing practice, cultivating a few simple daily habits can create meaningful, cumulative benefits. 

Morning Breathwork Tutorial

One of the simplest and most effective ways to clear your energy at the start of the day is through breathwork. Breath is your body’s built-in energetic reset—accessible anytime, anywhere. Conscious breathing helps regulate the nervous system, oxygenate the body, release tension, and shift stagnant emotional energy. Practised consistently, it sets a grounded, clear foundation for your entire day. A good morning breathwork session doesn't need to be complicated. It can be as simple as just a few minutes of intentional breathing, which can help lift your energy levels and promote mental clarity. 

For a simple at-home breathwork tutorial, try this beginner-friendly sequence:

1. Sit or stand comfortably, spine tall, shoulders relaxed.
2. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four, expanding your belly.
3. Hold your breath for four counts, noticing how the energy feels in your body.
4. Exhale through the mouth for six counts, visualising tension leaving your body.
5. Repeat for 2–5 minutes, gradually increasing duration as desired. 

Start each morning with breath as your anchor, and you'll likely notice an increased ability to navigate the day with clarity, calm, and intention. Working with a qualified breathworker can provide you with a specifically tailored routine appropriate to your needs and goals.

Grounding with Earth Connection

Grounding—also known as “earthing”—is the practice of connecting physically and energetically with the Earth’s surface to discharge built-up stress and restore inner balance. It’s a powerful, accessible way to clear stagnant energy and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the body and mind.

Scientifically, grounding works by allowing your body to absorb the Earth’s electrons through direct contact with natural surfaces like soil, grass, or sand. This has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and regulate cortisol levels—key factors in emotional and energetic balance. Even a brief time spent barefoot outdoors can calm the nervous system and help release emotional or energetic blockages^[5]. 

To incorporate this into your daily energy-clearing ritual, you might begin your morning by standing barefoot on grass or earth, taking slow, deep breaths while mentally visualising any tension or heavy emotion draining into the ground. This simple practice creates a sense of steadiness and release, especially helpful when life feels fast-paced or energetically overwhelming. 

Whether you’re walking through a park, touching a tree, gardening with bare hands, or simply sitting on the ground, grounding rituals create an anchor. Practices like nature immersion, deep conscious breathing, and grounding through Chakras can help restore balance^[6].

The Earth offers a constant, stabilising frequency—always available, always healing. Taking a few intentional minutes each day to tune into that energy can bring profound clarity, peace, and renewal to your overall state of being. In the absence of easily accessible earth or time to access it, you might consider the earthing tools such as those from Better Earthing[7], available to ensure your lifestyle is supported by the earth's natural field.

Midday Mindfulness Mini‑Session

As the day progresses, mental clutter and energetic noise can begin to accumulate. A midday mindfulness mini‑session can act like a reset button, helping to clear emotional static, improve focus, and recalibrate your inner energy field. This short yet powerful practice can invite you to slow down, breathe, and return to a grounded, present state.

At its core, mindfulness is the practice of observing thoughts with no judgment, pausing for even just a few minutes to engage in conscious awareness, like a mindful breathing exercise or sipping tea slowly^[8], can significantly reduce stress levels and bring clarity to your day. Another tool during your midday check-in is journaling. Energy journaling is introduced as a method to track what’s draining or fueling your energy. Taking just five minutes to jot down what’s been emotionally heavy—or what’s been energising—can clarify patterns and help you make more empowered choices for the rest of your day^[9].

Incorporating mindfulness mid‑day isn’t about escaping your responsibilities—it’s about re-entering them with more intention, clarity, and energetic alignment. Even a five-minute pause can dramatically shift your mood, elevate your frequency, and support a calmer, more present version of yourself. If you are time-rich, you might even consider a siesta, which will assure you approach your afternoon and evening fully integrated and rested and may even add years^[10] to your life!

Evening Energy Journaling

If afternoon energy journaling isn't your cup of tea, as the day winds down, you can also try evening energy journaling to clear your energy and promote emotional clarity. As mentioned, energy journaling involves noting what gave you energy and what depleted it. This awareness helps you understand how your environment, relationships, and activities affect your vitality, so you can consciously make adjustments moving forward. You can begin with simple prompts like^[11]:

1. Have I done anything to make someone else happy today?

2. Write one thing that made me feel loved today.

3. What do I want to take from today into tomorrow?

However, whether you prefer structured prompts or freewriting, the key is consistency. Energy journaling at night not only clears emotional residue but helps you cultivate a practice of reflection, mindfulness, and personal empowerment. Over time, it becomes an anchor—one that grounds you in truth, clarity, and calm before stepping into restorative sleep. Don't forget to keep your journal next to your bed and work towards establishing a habit of noting your dreams and considering what you might learn from your precious sleeping hours.

Follow the Sun (Heliotherapy)

Begin your day by greeting the horizon. Stepping outside just before dawn—while the air is still cool and the world holds its breath—allows the first light to wash over your skin and retune your inner clock. Research on heliotherapy shows that early-morning sunlight triggers a healthy surge of cortisol, the “wake-up” hormone, and anchors your circadian rhythm for sharper focus, steadier mood, and balanced energy throughout the day.

But there’s a subtler magic at play: awe. Watching the sun crest the edge of the earth can dissolve mental noise and expand your sense of possibility in a single radiant moment. Many people describe it as an energetic “charge” that stays with them, like carrying a pocket-sized sunrise into every task that follows.

Bookend the day by witnessing sunset. As golden light melts into amber and violet, melatonin production begins, signalling body and mind to release tension and prepare for restorative rest. This evening ritual acts as a natural dimmer switch, helping you to exhale the day’s static and slip into a slower cadence.

Treat sunrise and sunset as rhythmic bookmarks—pulse points that clear energetic clutter and keep you in sync with nature’s larger inhale and exhale. Even five unhurried minutes at each threshold can ground your nervous system, steady your breath, and remind you that you, too, are part of this vast, unfolding cycle of light and renewal.

When to Book an Energy Healer

While daily energy-clearing practices can be deeply restorative and empowering, there may be times when personal efforts aren't quite enough. If you're feeling persistently drained, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that self-practices can't seem to shift, it could be time to seek guidance from a professional energy healer.

Energy healers are trained to identify and work with subtle imbalances in your energetic field, whether through Reiki, chakra balancing, spiritual coaching, or intuitive energy work. These modalities can help uncover deeper blockages, support emotional release, and provide energetic alignment in ways that go beyond self-care routines.
