chlorine: cleansing our spiritual and emotional waters
spirit junkies, let’s talk about something we don’t usually associate with our spiritual practice—chlorine. yeah, that’s right, the stuff that keeps swimming pools clean. i’ve been thinking about how our spiritual and emotional lives need the same kind of purification that chlorine brings to water. we’re all swimming in the same cosmic pool, aren’t we? and sometimes, those waters get a little murky with all that we’re collectively experiencing.
we’re constantly absorbing energy that isn’t ours. we’ve all felt it, haven’t we? those days when we’re carrying someone else’s mood, someone else’s fears, someone else’s expectations. it’s like we’re swimming in a pool that hasn’t been treated—murky, contaminated, and honestly, not good for our souls. that’s why we’ve gotta add some spiritual chlorine to our daily practice. we deserve to swim in clear waters that reflect our true essence, not the emotional debris we’ve picked up along the way. when we’re walking around with unfiltered energy, we’re not showing up as our highest selves. we’re showing up as a mixture of everyone we’ve encountered.
so what’s spiritual chlorine for us? it’s those cleansing practices that disinfect our energy fields. meditation isn’t just pretty—it’s practical, it’s our daily dose of chlorine. when we sit in silence, we’re allowing the universe to filter out what’s not serving us. our breath is literally purifying our systems, washing away thoughts that don’t belong to us. journaling, that’s chlorine too—writing out those toxic thoughts instead of letting them float around in our spiritual waters. and let’s not forget about movement—whether it’s yoga, dancing in our living rooms, or taking a mindful walk. when we move our bodies, we’re circulating that spiritual chlorine through every cell, every thought pattern, every emotional holding place. we’re actively participating in our own purification process.
we can’t just add spiritual chlorine once and expect our emotional waters to stay clean forever. it doesn’t work that way in pools, and it definitely doesn’t work that way in life. we’ve gotta commit to daily maintenance. some days we’ll need more than others—especially after we’ve been in crowded spaces or difficult conversations where we’ve picked up lots of external gunk. let’s not beat ourselves up about it, just recognize when our waters are getting cloudy and add more of what cleanses us. we’re human, after all, constantly interacting with the world around us. and that world isn’t always operating at the highest vibration. but that’s okay, because we’ve got our spiritual chlorine practices to come back to again and again.
here’s the beautiful truth: when our spiritual and emotional waters are clear, we can see the bottom of the pool—we can see our true selves. we’ll know what’s ours and what isn’t. we’ll make decisions from clarity rather than confusion. and isn’t that what we’re all seeking together on this spiritual journey? so let’s not skimp on our spiritual chlorine, honey. let’s be generous with those practices that purify our souls. our future selves will thank us for the clean, clear waters we’re creating right now. and the best part? when we maintain our own spiritual pools, we create a ripple effect. we contribute to the collective cleansing. we become sources of clear energy in a world that desperately needs it. when someone swims in our energetic space, they leave feeling refreshed rather than contaminated. that’s the miracle of spiritual chlorine—it cleanses not just us, but everything and everyone we touch.
and don’t we all want that? to be vessels of clarity rather than confusion? to be beacons of light rather than carriers of heaviness? this is what happens when we commit to our spiritual chlorine practices. we become agents of transformation, not just for ourselves but for the world around us. so let’s make that commitment today. let’s fill our spiritual tool kits with all forms of chlorine—meditation, prayer, movement, journaling, time in nature, whatever works for us. let’s use them daily, sometimes hourly if needed. because we deserve to swim in the clearest waters possible. we deserve to know the truth of who we are beneath all the energetic debris. and that, my spirit junkie friends, is the real miracle: discovering that when we keep our spiritual waters clean, we find that we were crystal clear all along.
