What makes a spiritual night routine essential?

In our fast-paced world, the accumulation of daily stressors can leave us feeling drained and disconnected by day's end. Establishing a spiritual night routine serves as a sanctuary, allowing us to release negative energies and realign with our inner selves.

Moonlight water spell: Your evening ritual to cleanse energy & sleep peacefully

Energy cleansing before sleep is a ritualistic practice for maintaining spiritual hygiene. Just as we wash away physical dirt, it's crucial to cleanse our energetic fields from the emotional and psychological debris we collect throughout the day.

Engaging in a spiritual night routine can lead to improved sleep quality, heightened intuition, and a deeper sense of peace. It's a commitment to self-care that nurtures the soul and prepares the body for restorative rest.


How does washing feet with warm water and camphor help?

The act of washing one's feet before bed is steeped in tradition across various cultures, symbolizing the cleansing of the day's journey and the preparation for rest. Incorporating camphor into this practice amplifies its spiritual benefits.

Camphor, known for its purifying properties, is believed to ward off negative energies and promote clarity. When dissolved in warm water, it creates a soothing soak that not only relaxes tired feet but also serves as a ritual to cleanse one's aura.

Steps for a camphor Foot soak:

  1. Prepare the Soak: Fill a basin with warm water and add a small piece of camphor. Allow it to dissolve completely.

  2. Set the Intention: Before immersing your feet, take a moment to set an intention for the soak, focusing on releasing any negative energy.

  3. Soak and Reflect: Place your feet in the water, close your eyes, and take deep breaths. Visualize the camphor-infused water drawing out negativity and replacing it with light and peace.

This simple yet powerful practice can become a cornerstone of your nightly routine, grounding you and preparing your spirit for restful sleep.


Why should you write down what you are letting go?

Journaling serves as a therapeutic outlet, allowing us to process emotions and release burdens. By writing down what we wish to let go of, we externalize internal conflicts, making them easier to confront and release.

This practice can be particularly effective before bed, as it helps clear the mind of lingering thoughts that might disrupt sleep. By acknowledging and documenting these thoughts, we signal to our subconscious that it's safe to release them.

Tips for effective nightly journaling:

  • Consistency: Make journaling a nightly habit to create a sense of routine and safety.

  • Honesty: Write without self-censorship. Allow your thoughts to flow freely.

  • Closure: Conclude each entry with a statement of release, such as, "I let this go and welcome peace."

Over time, this practice can lead to increased self-awareness and emotional resilience, fostering a deeper connection with oneself.

How can avoiding conflict and excessive scrolling enhance sleep?

Engaging in conflicts or consuming excessive digital content before bed can overstimulate the mind, making it difficult to unwind. The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt circadian rhythms, while emotional disturbances can lead to restless nights.

Strategies to promote peaceful evenings:

  • Digital detox: Establish a 'no screens' rule at least an hour before bedtime.

  • Conflict resolution: Aim to resolve disagreements earlier in the day, avoiding heavy discussions close to bedtime.

  • Relaxation techniques: Engage in calming activities such as reading, gentle stretching, or listening to soothing music.

By creating a tranquil environment and mindset before sleep, we pave the way for deeper rest and rejuvenation.


What are the benefits of moon-gazing and breathwork?

Moon-gazing is a meditative practice that connects us with the natural rhythms of the universe. The moon's gentle light has a calming effect, helping to soothe the mind and spirit.

Complementing this with breathwork—a series of controlled breathing exercises—can further enhance relaxation. Breathwork helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote a sense of inner peace.

Simple moon-gazing and breathwork routine:

  1. Find a quiet space: Choose a spot where you can comfortably view the moon.

  2. Focus on the Moon: Gaze at the moon, allowing its light to fill your vision.

  3. Begin breathwork: Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, exhale through your mouth for four, and hold again for four. Repeat this cycle several times.

This practice fosters a deep sense of connection and tranquility, making it an ideal addition to your evening routine.


Why recite the sleep mantra: “I return to peace”?

When the day’s chaos clings like dust on the soul, one of the simplest and most potent tools we can reach for is a mantra. Specifically, whispering “I return to peace” at bedtime is like drawing the curtains on a noisy world and stepping into a sanctuary within.

Now, why this mantra? Because it's not just poetic—it’s psychological and energetic medicine.

Your subconscious mind thrives on repetition. So when you gently tell it, “I return to peace,” you’re actually rewriting the noisy script that’s been playing all day—emails, stress, comparisons, that awkward moment at lunch. You're telling yourself, “We’re safe now. We can let go.”

It doesn’t have to be a loud chant. Whisper it. Murmur it. Think it as you snuggle under the covers or lie staring at the ceiling. Let it become a soft lullaby for your nervous system. This is your mind's signal to power down, like dimming the lights before you sleep.

The mantra also serves as a spiritual return—almost like coming back home. When we get caught up in people-pleasing, money-chasing, and doom-scrolling, we wander from ourselves. But the phrase “I return to peace” gently reminds us of who we were before the world asked us to be anything else.

Want to make it even more powerful? Sync it with breathwork. Inhale as you silently say “I return,” and exhale with “to peace.” You’ll feel the mantra physically settle into your body.

I’ve said this mantra on hotel beds, friend’s couches and every single time, it brought a thread of calm. This little phrase has the ability to soften racing hearts, quiet overthinking, and draw energetic boundaries.

Think of it as a reset button—your soul’s way of saying, “I may be tired, but I am still sacred.”


How do burning cloves and guggal purify your space?

When the energy in your home feels heavy—like the air is thick with unspoken tension—there’s ancient wisdom that tells us exactly what to do: light fire, release smoke, invite peace.

Burning cloves and guggal (an aromatic resin used in Vedic rituals) is old soul science. This duo doesn’t just smell divine; it spiritually disinfects your space. Think of it as an energetic mop and bucket for your aura and your room.

Cloves carry the frequency of protection. For centuries, they’ve been burned to ward off evil intentions and gossip energy. Guggal, often mistaken as ‘just incense’, is deeply purifying and said to invite divine energy where chaos once lived.

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Start with intention: Light your candle or charcoal disc slowly. Whisper your intention: “I clear what does not belong to me.”

  2. Add Cloves and Guggal: Drop a clove or two and a pinch of guggal onto the flame or disc. A thick, fragrant smoke will rise.

  3. Cleanse the corners: Walk this smoke through your bedroom—especially corners, under the bed, around the mirror, and even your pillow.

  4. Repeat a Peace phrase: You might say, “Only love may dwell here,” or stick with your earlier mantra, “I return to peace.”

As you move, feel your spine relax. That’s your body recognising safety again.

Bonus tip? Add a bay leaf. It’s said to carry wishes and drive away evil eye energy.

I’ve done this on nights when everything felt off—after arguments, after doom-scrolling. It shifts things. Fast. Your room will feel like it exhaled.

Energetic hygiene is real. You wouldn’t sleep in a room filled with dust—so why sleep in a room filled with yesterday’s pain?


What is the moonlight water spell and how is it performed?

Ah, the magic of moonlight—calm, quiet, luminous. Now imagine capturing that serenity in water and pouring it over your crown, like liquid calm.

That’s the beauty of the Moonlight Water Spell—a ritual rooted in mysticism, emotional healing, and lunar connection.

Here’s what you’ll need: a clean glass bowl, running water (rainwater or spring is ideal), and a full moon night.

Step-by-Step Moonlight Water Spell:

  1. Collect the water: If it’s raining, place your bowl outside and let the heavens fill it. If not, use filtered water from your tap and simply bless it with your hands.

  2. Moon-charging: Place the bowl where it catches moonlight—on a window sill, balcony, or garden. Leave it overnight. As it rests, whisper your hopes, affirmations, or burdens you’re ready to release.

  3. The Bathing ritual: The next morning, gently pour this moon-charged water over your head. Let it wash your hair, your third eye, your crown chakra. Breathe deeply. Feel the energy shift.

This ritual works because water holds memory, and moonlight carries emotion. You're literally rinsing your crown in lunar medicine. It’s especially powerful for those navigating anxiety, overthinking, or deep grief.

People often report clarity, lightness, even sudden dreams or insights after performing the moonlight water spell. It’s not superstition—it’s soul work.

Feeling low? Can’t shake sadness? Try it. The moon doesn’t fix everything, but it sure as heaven soothes what the world has bruised.


How can moonlight water alleviate stress and depression?

Let’s talk soul sadness—the kind that hides behind a smile, the kind that makes you feel tired even after resting. For this, rituals aren’t luxury. They’re lifelines.

The moonlight water spell—when done regularly—can reduce emotional heaviness in a way therapy sometimes can’t reach. It’s not meant to replace healing modalities, but to accompany them, especially on nights when talk feels too hard.

Why does it help?

  • Water is conductive. It holds energy. And when it’s charged with full moon vibrations, you’re essentially bathing in nature’s lullaby.

  • Your crown chakra—where you pour it—is your emotional gateway. It’s where spiritual downloads enter and mental fog exits.

  • You reclaim agency. Depression makes us feel powerless. Rituals like this remind us that we can still choose beauty, intention, and connection.

I’ve had readers write to me, saying they’ve cried during their first moonlight rinse. Not out of sadness, but release. And isn’t that what healing is?

This emotional depth also connects with how we relate to the world around us. Read more in Youth Curry

Moon rituals give sadness a place to go. Like setting out a chair for grief and saying, “Stay a while, but don’t move in.”


What is aura fatigue and how does it affect you?

You ever walk into a room and feel drained before you even say hi? That’s not introversion. That’s aura fatigue.

Your aura—the energy field around your body—gets battered by emotional clutter, digital overload, noise, people’s expectations, and even your own harsh self-talk.

When your aura’s tired, you feel foggy. Sensitive. Overstimulated. You might get headaches, have weird dreams, or feel ‘off’ for no clear reason.

The worst part? Most of us ignore it. We caffeinate the symptoms and keep scrolling.

But here’s what I’ve learned: your aura is like your skin—it needs cleansing, moisturising, and protecting. And bedtime is the best time to do it.

Signs you’ve got aura fatigue:

  • You’re exhausted after socialising, even with loved ones.

  • You wake up tired despite 8 hours of sleep.

  • You’re emotionally sensitive, anxious, or irritable.

  • Your thoughts feel loud and never-ending.

Aura fatigue doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re sensitive, intuitive, and probably overgiving.

The good news? You can fix it—with consistency and care. Just like you brush your teeth, you can brush your energy.

In the next sections, I’ll show you how—using lavender, sound, rose quartz, and gentle visualisation. Because your soul deserves a bedtime routine too.

How do screen time and stress dim your energy field?

Our phones are killing our vibes.

I get it. You're scrolling this at midnight, probably under your blanket, trying to wind down while “just checking one more thing.” But the truth? That endless screen time is dimming your aura like a dying lightbulb.

Your energy field—aka your aura—is sensitive. It absorbs. And digital screens? They're little electromagnetic vampires. Every notification is like a poke to your energetic bubble, causing micro-stress you don’t even feel… until you crash.

Then there’s the stress.

Stress doesn’t just mess with your hormones or digestion—it strangles your aura. Imagine a beautiful, bright field of light around you… now imagine it slowly suffocating every time your boss emails at 11 PM or your ex posts something cryptic.

Here’s how you know your aura’s fried from screens and stress:

  • You feel emotionally raw after scrolling social media.

  • You find it hard to sleep even though you’re exhausted.

  • You keep comparing yourself to everyone online.

  • Your energy crashes but your brain won’t shut off.

And you’re not alone. In a recent sleep study, screen exposure within an hour of bedtime reduced melatonin production by 23%. That’s your sleep hormone. And guess what? Melatonin also regulates your emotional body—your aura’s thermostat.

Try this instead:

  • Log off at least an hour before sleep. Seriously. Let your energy recalibrate.

  • Wrap your phone in a scarf or silk cloth at night. Sounds witchy, but it blocks some EMFs and tells your spirit “we’re done for the day.”

  • Do a 2-minute aura check-in: Close your eyes. Ask, “How does my field feel?” That awareness alone can shift your energy.

This isn’t about becoming anti-tech. It’s about becoming pro-you. Protecting your peace is the new productivity.

What are effective bedtime practices for aura cleansing?

Alright, so your aura is frazzled, overcooked, maybe even a little crispy. What now?

Good news—there’s a bedtime ritual menu, and it’s deliciously gentle.

Let’s build your personalised energy detox routine for sleep, shall we?

🌿 Lavender

First up—lavender. But not just the essential oil (though that’s great too). You can use:

  • Dried lavender under your pillow

  • Lavender oil on your pulse points

  • Lavender tea an hour before bed

Lavender soothes the nervous system and the energetic system. You’re not just calming your mind—you’re telling your aura, “Let’s rest now.”

🔊 Sound healing

Even if you don’t have fancy singing bowls or tuning forks, your voice is enough.

Try humming. Literally. Humming for just two minutes increases nitric oxide in your body and shifts your vibration.

Want something extra? Play 432Hz or 528Hz music before sleep. Your aura will drink it like water.

🧠 Visualisation

Here’s a simple one: close your eyes and imagine a golden waterfall washing over you. It starts at your head and flows down your body. Anything heavy? Let it flow into the earth. Boom—your aura just got a cosmic shower.

Pair this with the sleep mantra: “I return to peace.”

Repeat it softly. Whisper it. Let the words hug you.

🛏️ Aura Cleansing Checklist:

  • Lavender (in some form)

  • 432Hz/528Hz frequency or gentle humming

  • Visual golden light shower

  • Mantra repetition

  • Phone out of reach

Five steps. Ten minutes. Peaceful sleep. Sparkling aura. You deserve it.


Why place rose quartz by your pillow?

Ah, rose quartz. The emotional support crystal you didn’t know you needed.

This soft pink stone isn’t just aesthetic. It’s a heart-healer. A mood stabiliser. A soul soother. When placed under or beside your pillow, it works overnight—like an energetic therapist whispering, “It’s okay, you’re loved.”

Why is it perfect for bedtime?

Because night is when our emotional body is most active. Those dreams? Those wake-up worries at 3 AM? That’s your subconscious finally getting a word in.

And rose quartz? It calms that voice. Softens it. Balances the heart chakra, helps you process emotional residue, and promotes unconditional self-love.

Try this bedtime ritual:

  1. Hold your rose quartz.

  2. Whisper something kind to yourself. “I did my best today.” “I forgive myself.” “I am enough.”

  3. Place it near your head or heart. Breathe in its energy. Let it do its thing.

You’ll start to notice better dreams, lighter mornings, and over time—a warmer relationship with yourself.

And no, it’s not “just a rock.” If the moon can shift tides, why wouldn’t crystals shift moods?


How will you feel upon waking after these practices?

Imagine waking up without heaviness. Without the brain fog. Without instantly reaching for your phone like it’s a lifeline.

These rituals don’t just improve sleep. They upgrade your mornings.

When your energy body is cleansed, your waking state is sharper, softer, more aligned. You remember your dreams. Your intuition is louder. You feel emotionally “tucked in.”

People report:

  • Fewer nightmares

  • More peaceful moods

  • A sense of “being held”

  • Increased clarity and decision-making

  • Feeling emotionally lighter—even if life is still busy

You don’t have to quit your job or move to the Himalayas. Just 20 intentional minutes at night can reset your entire vibe.

And over time, these routines compound. You become more present. More magnetic. People ask why you glow. And the answer? “Because I rest with intention.”

That’s soul wealth. That’s real protection.


How can you personalise your evening ritual?

Here’s the best part: there’s no one way to do it.

This isn’t a strict checklist. It’s an invitation—to romance your soul, in whatever way feels natural to you.

Love music? Make a moon playlist. Love writing? Keep a bedtime blessings journal. Love scents? Create a perfume blend for sleep. Love rituals? Build your own altar.

Try different elements. Mix lavender with sound. Pair moonlight water spell with journaling. Follow your intuition. That’s your soul’s way of designing a practice that actually works.

Questions to ask yourself:

  • What makes me feel safe?

  • What part of my day leaves me feeling drained?

  • What did I love doing before the world told me to hustle?

Start there.

Create a space you love. A rhythm that fits. And a sacred “me time” that doesn’t feel like another task.

Ritual isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. Make it yours.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
