Cleansing Blends
for Diffusers, Herb Bundles, Misters and Water Bowls

Misters and Sprayers

One effective method of distributing the essential oil molecules around a space is by using a plant mister or sprayer. Using a new one, put in half a pint of warm water, then add 6-10 drops of essential oil - or more if you wish - screw the cap back on and shake well each time before spraying. Spray high into the air, making sure the water-essential oil molecules will not fall on any furniture or furnishings that may be damaged.

The space around people can also be sprayed with these aura- cleansing sprays, but the eyes must be kept closed.

Water Bowls
Hot water releases the aroma molecules in essential oils and sends them rising into the air. Any glass or china heat-proof bowl or container can be used. Put 3-10 drops of essential oils on the water, and place the bowl(s) in the corner(s) of the room.

Essential Oil Cleansing Bundles
Make a collection of smelling strips by cutting up a piece of white absorbent paper into long strips. Put your chosen essential oils on these. They can be your chosen essential oils on these. They can be gathered together like a bunch of flowers and tied with bows, or plaited and in other ways made decorative. Use them to spread cleansing and energy-enhancing fragrance around the room.

Salts

There are many ways to use salt as part of spiritual cleansing. It can be used on its own, or mixed with essential oils. It can be put in water and used to purify rooms, spaces, objects and people. It can be added to baths.

Essential oils can be added to salt crushed minerals or gems - such as crystals - and used to purify rooms and objects, or put in baths. Which particular essential oils, gems or salt you use will depend on what you are setting out to achieve.

As the seas are so polluted these days, sea-salt may carry those vibrations, but it also carries the energy of the sea. Rock salt gives the energy of the mountains and the earth.

No race or religion can prevent coronavirus — don’t fall for these hoaxes

Let’s make it very clear: There is no scientific data to support claims that a certain race or religion makes you stronger or weaker against coronavirus 2019.

So if you see a post on Facebook or Instagram, a video on YouTube, a message chain of WhatsApp or Line, or a tweet with that kind of “fact,” consider yourself in front of false information.

All races are equally likely to be infected. The same goes for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists and those who believe in all other religions. They are equally protected — or unprotected — against the disease that has already killed more than 2,700 people.

The alert becomes vital these days because the #CoronaVirusFacts / #DatosCoronaVirus alliance, which brings together 90 fact-checkers from 39 countries under the coordination of the International Fact-Checking Network, has identified a series of falsehoods with this profile.

Among the 558 fact-checks already published by the project, there are several that try to demonstrate that race and religion do not influence the likelihood of contamination. This means that false news producers are working hard in the opposite way.

On Feb. 19, for example, fact-checkers from Taiwan Fact-Check Center found viral claims on Facebook and Line about a scientific study that “proved” how East Asians were more likely to become infected with the new coronavirus than other Asians because they have four to five times more ACE-2 receptors. That is false. The study was published in 2005 and referred to the Severe Syndrome Acute Respiratory (SARS) -— not COVID-19. 

Fact-checkers from Dubawa in Nigeria published an article demonstrating that there is no scientific evidence that black skin and/or blood aren’t resistant to the coronavirus 2019. In Nigeria, Twitter was filled with the “information” that subsaharianos (those living in the areas of Africa below the Sahara Desert) had been blessed and that they would be strong enough to face the new disease. False, too. In its fact-check, Dubawa makes it clear that the World Health Organization says that anyone can get the coronavirus if they approach another contaminated person.

False news about religion has also demanded fact-checkers’ attention. Religion is not a way to protect yourself against the new disease.

In three countries — India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia — social media platforms hosted various videos allegedly showing Chinese or Asian people converting to Islam after “realizing that Muslims were not being infected with the coronavirus 2019.” False.

Videos verified by Newschecker.in in India, Fact Crescendo in Sri Lanka, and Tempo and AFP in Indonesia are edited versions of the same recording made in Saudi Arabia in May 2019  — seven months before the start of the coronavirus outbreak. And Muslims are getting infected.

But in countries with large Muslim populations, this kind of content gains traction and spreads fast — something that concerns not only fact-checkers but also health authorities.

These beliefs can keep infected people away from real treatment, and those who are at risk of contamination far from preventative measures, promoting real harm.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States says that anyone can be infected with the coronavirus 2019. Those who want to avoid the disease should not approach another contaminated person should not have contact with their saliva, cough or mucus; and should not share objects or surfaces.

Race or religion have no influence.

Clearing The Atmosphere- Heavenly Fragrance

Rooms can have a different atmosphere which cannot always be attributed to such things as decor, light, ceiling height, or even good or bad feng shui- the flow of Ch'i energy around the home depending on its location and the placement of doors, windows, furniture, mirrors and plants, among other things. Rooms also have an aroma which reflect all that is contained, and goes on, in them, including such activities as cooking: the aroma of things such as furnishings; and the presence of living beings such as people, animals and plants.

Humidity can change an atmosphere, and the aroma of mildew can these days be treated with various commercial products and appliances, while the dryness of central heating can be counterbalanced with humidifiers. All these are things we should bear in mind when considering the atmosphere of a room or home. Another factor is cleanliness. If a place doesn't feel conductive to good energy flow it may simply need a good clean. We're not talking abot untidiness here, but uncleanliness, the solution to which is obvious.

• Another method involves using salt water in a bowl, wetting the fingers and flicking the water in all directions, being careful not to damage certain fabrics and furniture. Essential oils can be added to this water mix. Avery ancient method is to dip a small bundle of fresh herbs into salt water, shake off the excess, and use this to fick the water around the room. Some cultures use a small branch of a tree, or you could use a single flower.

The spiritual house-cleansing process can be done while diffusing your favourite essential oils. Some people pray while cleansing; others use loud noise which has often been used to scare negative elements away. This can be done in the traditional way, with drums, bells, rattles, gongs, clapping or chanting, although I know people who prefer loud music, as they feel this is very effective in getting the energy up and moving.

When the atmosphere feels lightened, use one of the following cleansing blends of essential oils-or an essential oil blend of your choice - in a diffuser, plant mister, or simply in a bowl or mug of steaming water. Put on some tranquil music, light a candle, then have a cleansing bath - suggestions for which are in a later section. Finally, put some new life and happiness in the room or rooms in the form of plants and flowers.

The Beneficent Home

Our home should be an oasis of peace, or at least a place where we feel 'at home' with ourselves: centred and complete, healthy, creative and joyful. Most of the time this may be the case, but if we're burgled, the house just feels 'dirty' - even, as one person told me, when a cat-burglar silently went through the place wearing thick gloves and disturbing nothing but the safe. The initial reaction after such a violation is often, ' It doesn't feel like it's my place any more; I want to move now,' but this is seldom a practical possibility.

If we move home, to a place previously occupied by other people, again, the energies can feel uncomfortable. It is not only the energy of those who are present that we have to think about, but the energy of those who have passed through that particular space before. Walls, so it is said, hold the energy of people who occupied that room in former times. The love and joy - or fear, anger and pain - somehow get imprinted in the very fabric of the building.

Whether this is the case or not, it is certainly true that walls hold ancient aromas, as has been discovered  by workers for commercial dehumidifier firms who have smelt the aroma of incense burnt long ago emanating from the walls of churches during treatment. Aroma is tangible compared to love, fear and thought, but all have a vibration and energy that can linger.

Healers who work within the auric fields of people -the energy field around the body of a person - feel that field, in some cases, as sticky. This same, grey, etheric quagmire quality can suffuse a home, or a room in it, and can be felt by sensitive people and animals. It's variously described as 'thick', ' heavy' and 'dim'.

After a burglary, or when moving into a new place, it's very appropriate to perform a spiritual cleansing, but even invited visitors to our home can often leave their vibrational imprint behind. If they are full of sadness or misery , or the kind of people who radiate negativity or soak up positivity, that can be a real burden on the energy of the premises (as well as on us).

They leave feeling replenished, but you and the house feel depleted - and it may be time to work on the energy of both you and the place. When a building holds energies which are having a detrimental effect, they can be expressed as, perhaps, the feeling that the place is never really clean (despite the fact that, to look and touch, it is clean), and wanting to clean it over and over again; or, conversely, as the feeling that you don't want to clean, touch or disturb anything: a general feeling of discomfiture; always wanting to rearrange furniture; or simply, being depressed as soon as you open the door.

The energies in a home can also account for physical sensations: feeling tired all the time; getting headaches; or feeling pressure on the head. Clearly, these things could also be symptoms of some physical disorder, and before considering the energetic quality of a home as the cause, put on your coat and get down to the doctor for a check-up. Obviously too, arguments in a home may account for an atmosphere of disquiet; and electromagnetic fields generated by electrical pylons, for example, have been said to account for the symptoms listed above.
