Prayer of cleansing. Cleansing prayers to the Lord God, prayers that cleanse the home and soul


Types of Orthodox prayers and features of their practice.

  • The word has extraordinary power to influence a person and the world around him. A word in sound gives impulse, fills with vibrations everything it comes into contact with
  • That’s why in ancient times our ancestors paid increased attention to what they said and how they said it.
  • They knew that speech in verbal form acts both creatively on the living world and destroys its connections at a subtle level
  • Religious traditions, tested by time and events, came to us from the distant past. They have retained a reverent attitude towards the power of words spoken out loud or mentally
  • Therefore, prayer in any religious tradition is the most powerful message to the Higher Powers. It allows a person to communicate with the Spiritual world, make gratitude, requests, and sing songs of praise and glorification.

Let's talk in more detail about the power of prayer as a cleanser for the soul, body and space around us.

Prayer for cleansing on Maundy Thursday

Last Supper on Thursday, Jesus with his disciples
  • On the eve of the bright holiday of Easter, our ancestors organized a general cleaning of the house, yard, body and soul
  • That’s why the tradition of carrying out water treatments and bathing children before sunrise has survived to this day.
  • The Holy Scriptures dictate that every person begin the day with prayer before the sun rises. But on Maundy Thursday its power increases many times over and you can atone for even your most serious sins.
  • On this day, take a shower or douse yourself with water so that it flows from head to toe throughout your body. Wake up and be aware of the present moment

Say the following prayers out loud, whisper or mentally:

  • thanksgiving to the Lord
  • purifying, for example, “cleanse me from all evil.” Her text:
    “As confession cleanses, as water removes dirt, so you, Thursday, be clean,
    cleanse me from all evil, from offending people, from disobedience, from intemperance,
    from devilish blasphemy, from bad rumors, from evil conversations, demonic disputes. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Go to church for morning service and confess all your affairs to the priest. Ask him for advice on a cleansing prayer for the soul, so that on the eve of Great Easter you can say goodbye with gratitude to all situations and people who were your teachers in the past.

Prayer for cleansing the family from sins

  • The scriptures say that we live more than one life. Therefore, through actions, deeds, words and thoughts they can cause pain to loved ones and unfamiliar people.
  • All living beings of the Universe are connected with each other by invisible threads that influence the fate of a particular person
  • And if we remember about family ties, they are even stronger and more influential in our lives. Therefore, it is important to one day work hard with your soul and beg the Higher Powers for forgiveness and cleansing of your kind from sinful thoughts, words, and actions

In the Orthodox tradition, such work should be done by reading the following prayers:

  • Our Father
  • Mother of God, Virgin, rejoice
  • thank you note
  • about forgiveness of the family

The text of the latter is presented below.

“Lord, I apologize to everyone whom I, wittingly or unwittingly, offended in this life and in my past lives.

Lord, I forgive everyone who has offended me, willingly or unwillingly, in this life or in my past lives.

Lord, I apologize for all my deceased relatives.

Lord, I apologize for all my living relatives.

Lord, I ask forgiveness to all people who, wittingly or unwittingly, in word, deed or thought, were offended by my ancestors. Lord, I ask You, cleanse, heal and protect me, my family and my entire family and fill me with Your Power of the Holy Spirit, light, love, harmony, strength and health.

Lord, I ask You, cleanse my family. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

In various RuNet sources you will find recommendations for reading only the first three prayers, or all four, but in different sequences and quantities. There is also an opinion that the most effective strategy is a 40-day prayer practice to cleanse the family. So every day, without skipping, you read one or less prayers, solitude and tuning into holiness. You can do the latter by placing an icon in front of your eyes and/or adding the sound of a church choir singing prayers.

Prayer for cleansing with forgiveness

When a person just steps on the spiritual path and tries to practice prayer, he begins:

  • feel the weight of your past actions
  • hear the voice of conscience
  • rethinks his behavior and character traits

In a civilized society, it is considered the norm to ask for forgiveness from someone whom we have offended, intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, cleansing prayers for forgiveness for words, thoughts and actions are effective and have great power.

In addition to visiting the temple and participating in congregational and choir prayers together, you can practice cleansing prayers for forgiveness at home at the altar the night before you go to bed or as often during the day as possible.

Use, for example, the following prayer texts:

  • about forgiveness, intercession and help
    In the hand of Your great mercy, O my God, I entrust my soul and body, my feelings and words,
    my advice and thoughts,
    my affairs and all my body and soul movements.
    My entry and exit, my faith and life, the course and end of my life, the day and hour of my breathing, my repose, the repose of my soul and body.
    But You, O Most Merciful God, invincible to the sins of the whole world, kindly, kindly Lord, accept me, more than all sinners, in the hand of Your protection and deliver from all evil, cleanse my many iniquities, grant correction to my evil and wretched life and from Always delight me in the coming cruel falls of sin, and in no way will I anger Your love for mankind, with which you cover my weakness from demons, passions and evil people.
    Forbid the enemy, visible and invisible, guiding me along the saved path, bring me to You, my refuge and the land of my desires.
    Grant me a Christian end, unashamed, peaceful, keep me from the airy spirits of malice, at Your Last Judgment be merciful to Your servant and number me at the right hand of Your blessed sheep, and with them I will glorify You, my Creator, forever. Amen
  • about forgiveness
    Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Forgive me for the sins mentioned and for the sins forgotten.
    Do not allow Orthodox torment to be punished and do not torment my soul with new trials.
    I firmly believe in You and pray for speedy forgiveness. May Your will be done now and forever and forever and ever. Amen
  • about forgiveness, another version
    I beg You, Son of God, for the remission of forgotten sins. Captured by the temptation of the devil, I did unrighteous deeds.
    Forgive me all insults, slander, greed and greed, stinginess and rudeness.
    Let the scabs of sin not infect my mortal body.
    So be it. Amen
  • about forgiveness, third version
    Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. I confess to You for my sinful thoughts and unkind deeds.
    Forgive me for forgotten, accidental and intentional sins. Help me cope with the temptation of the devil and guide me on the path of holy Orthodoxy.
    Thy will be done. Amen

Prayer for cleansing after childbirth

  • Both the Old and New Testaments have instructions regarding the procedure for the physical and spiritual cleansing of a woman after giving birth to a child.
  • These Holy books are unanimous in that a young mother should come to church 40 days after giving birth for churching, that is, returning to the ranks of the faithful followers of Christ
  • Many modern families practice baptism of the baby also on the 40th day after birth. Then both sacraments are performed together
  • The only thing is that you should notify the priest the day before about the need to read a cleansing prayer over you after childbirth
  • By the way, this prayer can be said later, for example, after six months or a year, if you were unable to visit the temple before
  • Remember that without it you should not receive communion and you have no right to confess

Orthodox prayer for the cleansing of soul and body



girl prays in front of icons
  • Orthodoxy, like other religious traditions, pursues one of its goals to lead the believer to the purification of soul and body in order to come clean to the Father in the spiritual world
  • Prayer is a way of communication of the soul with the Absolute. If it is pronounced with humility, truthfulness, full concentration on the moment here-and-now, then you will feel peace, calmness of the mind, relaxation
  • However, such a state may not occur immediately, but after a month, six months, a year of regular practice
  • Today, various authors offer their own versions of cleansing prayers. In the Holy Scriptures you will find works generally accepted and spoken at services, for example, the Great Penitential Canon of Andrew of Crete
  • For daily evening reading, a prayer written by a clergyman, an elder, a saint, or even our contemporary may be suitable. The main thing is that it contains words of repentance, a request for guidance, help, protection on the path of getting rid of physical and mental garbage
  • Pay attention to your state during prayer. You are collected, concentrated, your thoughts are busy contemplating and turning to the holy image - this means your prayer is effective
  • Otherwise, you should interrupt the spiritual conversation, tune in to it, complete those things that distract
  • Let us note that prayer can also be a sincere appeal of a believer to the Lord if he sincerely opens his heart
  • The Orthodox Church calls confession more powerful in the matter of cleansing the soul and body from sinful thoughts, words, and actions.
  • Therefore, a believer should follow the instructions of the holy fathers as much as possible - read prayers, come to confession, and visit church not only on holidays

Prayer for cleansing the house with a candle

  • Over the course of life, we accumulate not only joy and pleasant memories, but also rude words, quarrels, resentments, showdowns
  • Living in a house/apartment, we store this “wealth” in our home in the form of unfavorable areas or even rooms. Therefore, it is important to periodically, at least once a month, independently clean the living space with the holy word and a candle.
  • On the eve of the day of cleansing, you should go to church for confession and communion, observe a three-day fast and begin the procedure
  • If it is difficult for you to remember the text of the prayer, write it down on a blank sheet of paper and hold it in your left hand and a lit candle in your right
  • Start walking around the house from the right door frame of the front door and slowly move around the perimeter, stopping in the corners of the rooms and where the candle cracks
  • While you are moving with a lit candle, read the prayer without stopping

For example:

  • Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker
  • Our Father

Buy candles for home cleansing from the church. Choose the longest and thickest ones, so that one is enough for the entire house/apartment and outbuildings in the yard if you live in the private sector.

Prayer to cleanse negativity



the girl lit a candle to cleanse herself of negativity
  • It is important and necessary to clean your home of energy-informational waste. However, similar actions should be performed in relation to yourself.
  • We live in a densely populated space, regularly encountering a large number of eyes and entities that we cannot see. Therefore, carrying out cleansing activities should become as commonplace for us as morning exercises
  • In the vastness of the Runet, various authors and sites recommend their texts as prayers for cleansing from negativity. However, the most famous, easy to remember and handed down to us by Jesus is the “Our Father”
  • It contains gratitude to the Lord for life, His glorification, requests for intercession and instructions, and faith in His power and justice.
  • The best way to reset negative vibrations is to read prayers every morning and evening at your home altar or in a temple

For duration, be guided by your feelings. You should go through a phase when:

  • limbs become numb
  • thoughts are confused
  • forgetting the words of prayer
  • yawning and sleepiness occur

These manifestations indicate that a lot of negativity has stuck to you.

Don’t expect quick results, that your life will become easier, that all illnesses and disagreements with loved ones will go away. Prayer practice is a journey that sometimes lasts a lifetime.

Prayer for the purification of every thing



folded hands of a girl in prayer

Shopping is a disease for women and a common daily necessity. We almost never think that very specific people worked on the creation of this or that thing - they created, sorted, packaged, loaded and unloaded.

Each of them left a piece of themselves on the thing/object in the form of an energy-informational cloud. But it would be better to neutralize it, to reset it to zero, before we put the thing on and bring it into our home.

Clean the item/item using any of the following methods:

  • say a prayer
    “To the Creator and Maker of the human race, the Giver of spiritual grace, the Giver of eternal salvation,
    Yourself, Lord, send Your Holy Spirit with the highest blessing on this thing, as if it were armed with the power of heavenly intercession for those who want to use it,
    will be helpful for bodily salvation and intercession and help, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen"
  • Sprinkle with sacred water three times and repeat the words
    “This thing is blessed and sanctified by sprinkling this holy water, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen"
  • perform the threefold sign of the cross, which is equivalent to cleansing/sanctification

Cleansing space with prayers

To fill a house, apartment, office space or other space with your energy, cleanse it of what is already present there. The most effective way for this is the sacred word, prayer.

On the eve of energy cleansing, carry out general cleaning:

  • wash all shelves, glass, windows, doors, radiators, floor
  • throw away all unnecessary trash, old newspapers and magazines
  • put clothes you no longer use in bags/boxes and donate them to an orphanage/shelter/charitable organization as soon as possible
  • And from now on, develop the habit of doing similar cleaning every week. So, negativity on a rough plane will stop accumulating in space, and the relationships of all residents will become warmer and more harmonious.
  • Place salt or clean sifted sand in plates in the corners of the room. After a couple of hours, wash the floors everywhere, collecting salt/sand. The latter absorb negative vibrations at a finer level than dust
  • Throw them on the trash heap or bury them in the ground with a request to Mother Earth to accept negative vibrations and transform them into positivity and benefit
  • In each room, hang an icon and a candle in front of it. Read the Lord's Prayer three times in each corner. Move to another room after the candle in the previous one goes out
  • walk around the entire room with one lit candle in a clockwise direction. Perform surrounding signs and read the “Our Father”, prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Life-Giving Cross, the Hymn to the Most Holy Theotokos
  • In addition to walking around with candles, also sprinkle the room with blessed water
  • add smoking incense or other beneficial aromas indoors to protect against the intrusion of negativity and evil spirits
  • often play songs glorifying the Lord, His deeds and Holy Persons. This is how you fill the space with fragrant sounds

So, we have established ourselves in the faith of the holy word, its power and effect on negative, destructive vibrations and energies. We learned to intelligently and consciously practice prayer to cleanse ourselves, our family, our home, our belongings and any space.

Be happy!

Video: prayers for cleansing

Negative moments happen in every person's life. In order for life to return to normal and things to go smoothly, Orthodox Christians resort to prayers that cleanse the soul of negativity.

Prayer is an appeal to the Higher powers. Such communication opens an energy channel through which a person gets rid of fears, doubts and cleanses the soul of negative manifestations. The words of prayer should not sound formal and tongue-tied. In pronunciation, what is important is not memorizing church texts, but true faith and willingness to open your soul, take the righteous path and ask for help from the Higher Powers in any situation.

The Church does not divide prayers into strong and weak. Every spoken word addressed to God has its own effect. A prayer filled with faith can change everyone’s life, change the space around a person, protect him from troubles, heal him and bring good luck into his life.

Prayer for negativity

The most important prayer and weapon of the Orthodox is “Our Father”. It is capable of breaking the shackles of any negative influence, strengthening faith, and getting rid of damage and the evil eye. You should read the prayer over and over again until there is no room left in your soul for disappointment and resentment. For this activity, it is important to let go of thoughts and believe in a successful outcome. After a while, you will feel how your body is filled with lightness, your mood rises and a craving appears for active actions for the benefit of yourself and those around you.

Prayer that cleanses the soul

Each prayer should be read repeatedly. It is better if it is a whole cycle over several days, or even weeks. Morning and evening daily prayers will not only cleanse you of negativity, but will also give you self-confidence and make you understand that nothing is impossible, and with God’s help it is much easier to get rid of negativity. You should not feel sorry for yourself, not mourn your bitter fate, but act.

“Lord Almighty! I trust in You and Your will. Trouble befell me, a sinful slave (name). Devilish manifestations do not allow my soul to calm down. Bless, Lord, not to hold a grudge against your enemies, and to accept all difficulties with humility. With honor and Your help, find a way out of them. Light a light in my soul so that the darkness that overshadows it has no effect. Amen".

Prayers from negative influences

In case you feel a negative impact on yourself, do not panic. Start by choosing a time to be alone. Buy church candles and light them. Peer into the candle flame and under no circumstances blame anyone for your troubles. Negative energy coming from you will not bring any benefit. Leave retribution to the Higher powers, because there has never been a single case where people who do evil were not rewarded for their sins. After you calm down, make the sign of the cross and say the prayer “I Believe.” Having tuned in to communicate with God, ask him for help in your desire to get rid of life’s troubles.

“Lord Jesus! Help me, a sinful servant (name), avoid human envy and negativity towards me and do not let me carry out my arbitrary judgment on sinners. Sinful thoughts lead me away from faith and do not allow me to lead a righteous life. Deliver me from envy and unclean thoughts. Reward, God, my offenders, but deliver them from suffering, for they acted not of their own free will, but at the instigation of the devil. Amen".


Prayer-rite against any manifestation of negativity

On Sunday, you must read the “Our Father” prayer three times with a lit church candle. After each reading, you should cross yourself and bow. Then you need to wash yourself with holy or running water and say:

“I believe in the Lord Almighty! I believe in his thoughts and deeds! I leave my fate in his hands. I’m removing the negativity from myself with God’s help and support.”

After such a ritual, you should light the candle again, and on a piece of paper write down all the manifestations of negativity that happened to you. Burn what is written on the candle flame, and then read the Lord’s Prayer again.

Each prayer not only brings us closer to the Lord, but also helps to grow the soul in righteousness and piety. These words provide shelter from any adversity and ward off illness, trouble and negativity. Follow the commandments and do not hold a grudge against your offenders. We wish you peace and prosperity, and do not forget to press the buttons and

    So, we have established ourselves in the faith of the holy word, its power and effect on negative, destructive vibrations and energies. We learned to intelligently and consciously practice prayer to cleanse ourselves, our family, our home, our belongings and any space.

    Prayer of Purification

    The wonderful feeling of cleanliness is so alluring and attractive, but for some reason we are too lazy to evoke this feeling in ourselves from time to time. Your body is weightless, your soul is filled with divine light, you just want to fly...

    This effect can be easily achieved with the help of prayer, because this state is nothing more than the soul after cleansing. Yes, exactly, “cleansing”. We take a shower every day, brush our teeth, wash our clothes - because they are dirty. What about the soul? Does it have automatic cleansing properties? Unfortunately, or fortunately, no. She also needs to be taken care of daily.

    The best prayer for cleansing

    The only prayer created not by man, but by God is the “Our Father.” Jesus bequeathed it to his followers. It is its text that can serve as a universal prayer of cleansing, healing, forgiveness, repentance and everything else your soul desires.

    The cleansing of the soul with this prayer occurs due to the fact that it contains everything that is in all other prayers:

    • acknowledges God as Father and Savior;
    • glorifies him;
    • asks for justice to be restored (... Thy will be done...);
    • asks for help in earthly affairs;
    • proclaims forgiveness of offenders and entrusts the proceedings with those who hold a grudge against you into the hands of God;
    • this is a prayer for cleansing from sins, because you are asking for protection from temptations and demons;
    • strengthens your faith that the power of God is greater than the power of the devil.

    How to cleanse yourself with prayer?

    There are two ways - the first works as “general cleaning”, the second - like a broom will sweep away what was missed by a vacuum cleaner.

    The first method of cleansing the soul and body with the Lord’s Prayer is to work on each chakra separately. You need to close your eyes, concentrate on your inner vision and say “I”. You should hear an echo of what you said in one of the chakras of the body. When this succeeds, move your energy, thoughts, feelings to the lower chakra - muladhara and begin to read “Our Father”.

    Read the prayer until you feel that the energy of the chakra has “stirred up” and the process of healing and displacement of negativity has begun.

    With this prayer we cleanse the body and mind, walking through the chakras until characteristic feelings arise in each of them. Having finished working with the upper chakra - Sahasrara, you need to mentally, in the words of one prayer, move the energy down the energy channel to Muladhara, and then through another prayer - up to Sahasrara.

    Now sit in silence and come out of this euphoric state.

    Some particularly damaged chakras may require more work - these you can return to daily and heal individually.

    To do this, simply read the Lord's Prayer without visualization. This is the second way. You are “cleansing yourself further”, since prayer itself will find the point where everything is not yet in order and will push out all the negativity from there.

    Prayer "Our Father"

    Our Father, who art in heaven!

    Hallowed be Thy name,

    may your kingdom come,

    Thy will be done

    as in heaven and on earth.

    Give us this day our daily bread;

    and forgive us our debts,

    just as we also leave our debtors;

    and do not lead us into temptation,

    but deliver us from evil.

    Cleansing and healing prayers

    Prayers for the purification of the soul are a very popular text on the Internet. It calms, gives peace and confidence, saves from despondency, which is called the most terrible and dangerous of sins.

    Orthodox prayer is a unique concept that can mean both a text written by a great ascetic of piety, a true warrior of Christ many years ago, and a completely fresh opus written by our contemporary.

    Often people who have been given the great Gift of the Word by God write prayers for the purification of the soul in poetic form - and the Internet is replete with such creations.

    It is not known for sure how to treat such works; it is necessary to analyze each case separately.

    Just as an icon painter paints an icon with the blessing of a priest, so one should receive approval for verbal creativity. But this is a more difficult to control type of creativity, so you just need to carefully filter the results.

    How to find out a prayer for cleansing?

    Strictly speaking, the prayer of cleansing the soul and body is a broad concept; it can be considered any sincere request for the forgiveness of sins - regardless of how many people know and read it. Often, after writing, it is posted on the Internet - shared with other people.

    At the same time, the purely formal side of Orthodox prayer can be practically flawless - if reading phrases is acceptable for an Orthodox person, any priest will tell you about it. Humility and readiness to change one’s behavior are the main value and the main sign of a unique phenomenon called “prayer for the purification of soul and body.”

    A person who resorts to the Lord's mercy repents of his sins and asks for help, asks for protection and support in the difficult task of repentance and cleansing of the soul.

    Cleansing prayers are also official - for example, the Great Penitential Canon of Andrew of Crete. Every Orthodox Christian during Great Lent hears his words calling for humility, reconciliation, repentance and forgiveness.

    The prayer book knows prayers that can be considered cleansing - for example, daily confession of sins, which involves repentance and preparation for getting rid of all sins committed during the day.

    How to properly pray for forgiveness of sins?

    The main thing that every Orthodox person should remember, or anyone who wants to join the Holy Church of Christ, which contains the Truth in its fullness: prayer is an important part of living communication with the Lord, but not the only and not the main one. Prayer cannot replace the sacrament of confession, which alone serves the great goal of completely cleansing the soul from committed sins.

    Avoid false shame during confession, do not fiddle with yourself, the tactic “I have already repented to myself in prayer” has a detrimental effect on the state of your soul.

    Unrepentant sins in confession remain in the soul, they interfere with worthwhile communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, and, ultimately, even interfere with living.

    The priest is the only mediator between God and man, who is given the power to forgive sins - “whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

    Prayer to cleanse the soul is a preparation for confession, but not a replacement for it. In addition, you need to remember and apply other usual rules when reading the prayer: be attentive, collected, do not think about extraneous objects, but focus on the internal dialogue with God.

    Forgiveness and reconciliation with all loved ones is a prerequisite and an indispensable element of preparation for a prayerful appeal to the Lord on any occasion and occasion.

    Prayers for cleansing: comments

    One comment

    Prayers for cleansing are true salvation for a lost soul. God always hears us, regardless of whether we are in His temple or at your home. I always read a prayer for cleansing before confession; it gives me the opportunity to prepare for this great sacrament and come to the priest with a pure soul and bright thoughts. I learned cleansing prayers by heart thanks to the Internet. Now every time I mentally turn to the Lord, wanting to be cleansed of sins and false thoughts..

    It is very necessary to cleanse your aura and aura in your personal car. Please tell me the most effective way, prayer.

    The wonderful feeling of cleanliness is so alluring and attractive, but for some reason we are too lazy to evoke this feeling in ourselves from time to time. Your body is weightless, your soul is filled with divine light, you just want to fly...

    This effect can be easily achieved with the help of prayer, because this state is nothing more than the soul after cleansing. Yes, exactly, “cleansing”. We take a shower every day, brush our teeth, wash our clothes - because they are dirty. What about the soul? Does it have automatic cleansing properties? Unfortunately, or fortunately, no. She also needs to be taken care of daily.

    The best prayer for cleansing

    The only one created not by man, but by God, is “Our Father.” Jesus bequeathed it to his followers. It is its text that can serve as a universal prayer of cleansing, healing, forgiveness, repentance and everything else your soul desires.

    The cleansing of the soul with this prayer occurs due to the fact that it contains everything that is in all other prayers:

    • acknowledges God as Father and Savior;
    • glorifies him;
    • asks for justice to be restored (... Thy will be done...);
    • asks for help in earthly affairs;
    • proclaims forgiveness of offenders and entrusts the proceedings with those who hold a grudge against you into the hands of God;
    • this is a prayer for cleansing from sins, because you are asking for protection from temptations and demons;
    • strengthens your faith that the power of God is greater than the power of the devil.
    How to cleanse yourself with prayer?

    There are two ways - the first works as “general cleaning”, the second - like a broom will sweep away what was missed by a vacuum cleaner.

    The first method of cleansing the soul and body with the Lord’s Prayer is to work on each chakra separately. You need to close your eyes, concentrate on your inner vision and say “I”. You should hear an echo of what you said in one of the chakras of the body. When this succeeds, move your energy, thoughts, feelings to the lower chakra - muladhara and begin to read “Our Father”.

    Read the prayer until you feel that the energy has “stirred up” and the process of healing and displacement of negativity has begun.

    With this prayer we cleanse the body and mind, walking through the chakras until characteristic feelings arise in each of them. Having finished working with the upper chakra - Sahasrara, you need to mentally, in the words of one prayer, move the energy down the energy channel to Muladhara, and then through another prayer - up to Sahasrara.

    Now sit in silence and come out of this euphoric state.

    Some particularly damaged chakras may require more work - these you can return to daily and heal individually.

    To do this, simply read the Lord's Prayer without visualization. This is the second way. You are “cleansing yourself further”, since prayer itself will find the point where everything is not yet in order and will push out all the negativity from there.

    Prayer "Our Father"

    Our Father, who art in heaven!

    Hallowed be Thy name,

    may your kingdom come,

    Thy will be done

    as in heaven and on earth.

    Give us this day our daily bread;

    and forgive us our debts,

    just as we also leave our debtors;

    and do not lead us into temptation,

    but deliver us from evil.

    For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

    I think you have often heard: we are treated the way we allow ourselves to be treated. I rarely think about the deeper meaning of such hackneyed quotes, but today is one of those rare moments. After all, if this is true, then the perception of us as we feel from the inside will also be fair. Both on a physical and emotional level. A person living in the trash of unnecessary memories, resentments, envy and anger always causes some kind of fear. Personally, at some mental level I feel people’s anger, aggression and repulsive negativity. On the contrary, people who have found complete harmony in their soul, people whose troubles evoke compassion, a desire to support and awaken pure, sincere emotions in you, attract you to them with incredible magnetism.

    By cleansing the soul of resentment, anger and the burden of past events, we make room for new, more pleasant and rosy things. And by cleansing the body, we discover the potential for self-healing, beauty and healthy sparkle in the eyes. Only a pure person, pure inside and out, is able to extract and attract goodness that will surround him and his loved ones. Self-knowledge begins with a clean body and a free soul. If you want to change something, fix it, or direct your energy in a different direction, start by cleansing yourself. And then your ideas and your life will by all means contribute to success, well-being and love. Be clean - and life around you will become just as clean.

    I suggest starting cleansing with the body. Having learned from my own experience, I can say that it is too difficult to cleanse the soul by eating a hamburger. I am an ardent opponent of forced vegetarianism or any other type of imposed proper nutrition. It seems to me that this approach cannot yield anything good. You can feel the cleansing, healing and strength of your body only by consciously choosing a new lifestyle for yourself. Refusing some familiar foods, you should not experience mental anguish. A conscious choice, on the contrary, should bring you relief and liberation from illness, heaviness and burden that you feel inside. You will begin to approach your new eating style with joy, realizing that every product you consume brings you great benefits. Only by consciously choosing proper nutrition as a new lifestyle can you fully cleanse your body.

    As you know, a healthy mind in a healthy body! While cleansing your body, you can simultaneously begin to cleanse your soul by resorting to yoga and meditation. After a pleasant gluten-free and lactose-free soft fruit breakfast, it's time to start meditating in a ventilated room. In order to get a boost of energy and good mood for the whole day, I suggest you devote every morning after breakfast to morning meditation. There are a huge number of them, so choosing the right one for you will not be difficult. Meditation, in my perception, is something intimate and too spiritual, so the meditation recommended by someone may not always be suitable for you personally.

    Purification brings not only liberation from physical or emotional negativity, but also opens up pure potential in you, which will help you to know yourself, gain freedom and strength for self-development and self-knowledge. You will become purer, kinder and more open to the world around you, which will not be able to resist your radiant purity and will begin to give you life-changing gifts.
