4 Easy Steps to Blessing Your New Home

So you have a new home... Congratulations!! Blessing your house changes it from a structure to a home, giving it life via your appreciation, love and respect. Here is a simply way to place your vibrational frequencies to harmony in a new home.

First, clean it top to bottom, inside and out. The windows should sparkle. All plumbing fixtures should be pristine. Floors should glisten. The place should look, smell, and feel fresh.

Bring the house a beautiful bouquet of your favorite flowers. Place them in a vase in the heart of the house. Raise your arms out to the space as if to hug the whole place, and speak aloud, "I am your new owner. (If you are going to name the place, now is the time to do that and tell it its name.) You and I are one. We will live and grow together, protect one another, and honor each other always and in all ways. I bring you life and beauty as my gift to you. I ask for your support and sanctuary. May God and all the angels bless this home and all within with health, wealth, joy, grace, and abundance." (Click here to download this blessing as a PDF.)

Bow to the house. Then take a fresh box of Kosher or sea salt. Sprinkle a line of salt across the driveway entrance(s) and all exterior doors (including garage doors). Then, starting just inside the front door with the door closed, call in the four archangels. Ask Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael to guide and protect you always. Then, moving always clockwise, place a pinch of salt in each corner of every room (and in front of any poison arrows you come across as you go), until you have done this in all corners in all rooms on all floors and returned to the front door where you redraw an inside line of salt. Then go put a heavy pinch of salt down every drain, including toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, washer drains, and dishwasher bottoms.

Light a candle and put on some awesome music. Break bread (eat something tasty) and drink a glass of your favorite beverage, saying in your blessing of the food that there will always be bountiful food and celebration in the house. Thank God and the angels for your feast, your celebration, and your wonderful new home.
