If you feel emotionally, mentally, or physically drained for no apparent reason, you may need aura cleansing. Your energy field can get messy and carnal, and it shows in a few ways, so it is crucial to know the symptoms!

Persistent fatigue is one of the most common indicators. If rest isn’t making you feel refreshed, your aura may be holding on to too much stagnant energy. Similarly, mood swings, irritability or undiagnosable sadness can indicate an energetic imbalance. Overwhelming, intrusive negative thoughts could also be an indication that your aura has absorbed unwanted energy.

You might also become more sensitive to people and places. “If you feel uncomfortable and easily influenced by emotions of others, it could suggest that your energy field is overly receptive and needs to be cleansed.” A feeling of heaviness, blockage or dullness in your body, particularly in the chest or head area, can signal an aura that needs cleansing.

At times, physical symptoms — being prone to headaches, tension, sudden skin breakouts — can actually be a sign of blocked energy. Are you attracting negativity, constantly experiencing fights, or feeling heavy among toxic individuals/environment? Your Aura could be storing some unwanted energy.

Another indicator is a feeling of lack of clarity or motivation. If making decisions seems more difficult than normal or you have trouble concentrating, you may be experiencing a clouded energy field. Likewise being disconnected from yourself, your intuition or a sense of purpose may be a sign you require a spiritual cleansing.

And if you deal with any of these symptoms on a regular basis, you may want to cleanse your aura through meditation, visualization, energy healing, or even just simple practices like spending time outside, taking salt baths, or using crystals.
