Sounds, gestures, silence · The ritual of a renewal of the inhabited place
I have often been consulted and asked: how can I purify a place, a body, an energy? How can I lighten what I feel is dense, invisible but present?
How to find peace, serenity, fluidity?
Sometimes it is yogis, friends, sensitive or simply curious people who perceive that a space or a moment needs to be lightened, reharmonized.
This is how I feel, approach, and experience energy purification: not as a fixed recipe, but as a living art.

Why purify?
Everything is energy, and everything that lives keeps memory.
Our home – just like our body – is a living home .
A place of passage, of connection, of emotions, of transformation. A sacred place.
Over time, the accumulation of events, emotions, and thoughts can create a subtle form of saturation. Energy stagnates. Space contracts. Breath becomes shorter.
Sometimes we feel unwell without any apparent cause.
As was the case recently for my friend Marelle. That night, she slept in her daughter Sophie's room. Sophie had already complained of having nightmares there, of sleeping poorly, of feeling "foreign" in that room. Marelle, without saying anything, wanted to try it herself. She woke up in the middle of the night, seized by a scream. As if an invisible weight had struck her chest. A nameless disturbance.
It wasn't "nothing." It was a memory. A vibration. A call to purify.
To purify is to recognize what has been. It is to make room, not to "chase out," but to let it circulate again . It is to love what is, and to give it back its freedom .
The Body as a Temple
We inhabit our body before any other place. It is our first space. It captures, it absorbs, it retains. It is memory and matter, temple and home. Purifying energy also means returning to this body with respect. It is practicing yoga not as an effort, but as an offering to the inner space .
Through:– fluid and conscious yoga– intuitive, free, organic dance– breath , as a guide– presence , as an anchor– music , as a vector of openness
The body begins to live fully again. Not to perform, but to feel .
Not to produce, but to liberate .

The power of sound
Sound is vibration. It passes through visible and invisible walls. It resonates with what is fixed, inviting it to move.
In my practices , sound is always an ally: the Alchemy Crystal bowls , to raise the frequency, the intuitive voice , to express the unexpressed, the deep silence , which envelops and integrates, the soft music , to accompany the day.
Sound is not an external tool. It is an echo of the soul , and a bridge between the visible and the invisible . It purifies not by force, but by vibration.
A purification ritual
Here is a simple suggestion , which everyone can freely adapt:
1. Prepare : Open the windows– Light a candle– Create a symbolic corner with a flower, a stone, a loved object– Wear loose clothing, barefoot if possible
2. Center yourself : Close your eyes – Feel the body, the ground – Formulate a gentle, clear, personal intention
3. Move : Let the body express itself: stretching, intuitive movements – Integrate simple and fluid yoga postures – Dance if the heart desires, without choreography, just in connection with the breath
4. Vibrate : Ring a bowl or something else (for example a Kochi) in each room. Place your voice on a pure, sustained sound, play a soft rhythm with another instrument, let the music flow through you.
5. Use the elements: Fire : incense, sage, palo santo (with awareness) Water : floral spray, ritual bath, herbal tea Earth : coarse salt, stone, direct contact with the ground Air : breath, movement, purification by the wind
6. Close : Sit or lie down – Give thanks – Visualize the light in the body and in the place – Formulate an intention for the aftermath...
And after?
Don't rush anything. Don't fill anything. Just let the space breathe. Drink an infusion. Listen to a silence. Write a sentence. Walk barefoot .
The body and the place were seen. Heard. Honored.
To purify is not just to clean. It is to honor what has been, to fully take what is ours, and to let go of what is not. It is to love unconditionally: ourselves first, then the space we inhabit, the beings we choose, and the lineage from which we come, with gratitude, with discernment.
This thread, that of family memory, of roots, we will weave it into a future sharing.
For today, just this: love, simply. Namaste.
