You can fulfill the latter if you put the icon before your eyes and/or add the sound accompaniment of the church choir that sings prayers.
Prayer for purification by forgiveness
When a person only steps on a spiritual path and tries to practice a prayer, he begins:
- feel the severity of their past
- hear the voice of conscience
- rethinks its behavior and character quality
In a civilized society, it is considered the norm to ask for forgiveness from the one whom we offended voluntarily or unintentionally. Therefore, cleansing prayers for forgiveness for words, thoughts and actions are effective and have great power.
In addition to visiting the temple and participating in joint prayers of parishioners and the church choir, you can practice purification prayers for forgiveness of the house before the altar on the eve of going to bed or as often during the day, as much as possible.

- about forgiveness, intercession and help

- These sacred books are one in the fact that a young mother should come to the temple 40 days after the birth for churching, that is, the return to the ranks of the faithful followers of Christ
- Many modern families practice the baptism of the baby also 40 after birth. Then both sacraments are performed together

Orthodox prayer to cleanse the soul and body
- Orthodoxy, like other religious traditions of one of the goals, pursues the believer to cleanse the soul and body in order to pure to come to the Father in the spiritual world
- Prayer is a way of communication between the soul with the Absolute. If it is pronounced with humility, truthfulness, a complete concentration at the moment here-and now, then you will feel peacefulness, reassurance of the mind, relaxation
- However, this condition may not occur immediately, but after a month, six months, a year of regular practice
- Today, various authors offer their options for cleansing prayers. In the Holy Scriptures you will find the generally accepted and pronounced in the services of creation, for example, the great repentant canon of Andrei of the Cretan
- For a daily evening reading, a prayer written by a clergyman, an old man, a saint or even our contemporary may be suitable. The main thing is that it contains the words of remorse, a request for instructions, help, protection on the path of getting rid of physical and mental garbage
- Pay attention to your condition during prayer. You are collected, concentrated, your thoughts are busy with contemplation and appeal to the holy image - it means that prayer is effective

- Stronger in the issue of cleansing the soul and body from sinful thoughts, words, actions, the Orthodox Church calls confession

Prayer for cleansing the house with a candle
- Throughout our lives, we accumulate not only joy and pleasant memories, but also rude words, quarrels, resentment, clarification of relations
- Living in a house/apartment, we store this “wealth” in a dwelling in the form of adverse zones or even rooms. Therefore, it is important periodically, at least once a month, to independently clean the space of housing with a holy word and candle
- On the eve of the cleansing day, you should go to the temple for confession and communion, observe a three -day post and proceed to the procedure
- If the text of the prayer is difficult to remember, write it on a clean piece of paper and hold it in your left hand, and a lit candle in the right
- Start bypassing housing from the right jamb of the front door and slowly move around the perimeter, stopping in the corners of the rooms and where the candle cracks
- While moving with lit candles, read a prayer without stopping
For example:
- st. Nicholas the President
- Our Father
Buy candles for cleansing the dwelling in the church. Choose the longest and longest so that one is enough for the whole house/apartment and outbuildings in the yard if you live in the private sector.
Prayer to cleanse negativity
- It is important and necessary to clean the dwelling of energy -information garbage. However, similar actions should be performed in relation to itself
- We live in densely populated space, regularly encounter a large number of eyes and entities that we do not see. Therefore, the conduct of cleansing measures should be the same as usual for us as morning exercises
- In the open spaces of Runet, various authors and sites recommend their texts as prayers to cleanse the negativity. However, the most famous, easily memorable and transmitted to us by Jesus is "our Father"
- It has gratitude to the Lord for life, and His glorification, and requests for intercession and instructions, and faith in His power and justice
- The best way to reset negative vibrations is the daily reading of prayer in the morning and evening at the home altar or in the temple
By duration, focus on your feelings. You should endure the phase when they will:
- limbs to flow
- thoughts get confused
- the words of prayer are forgotten
- appear yawn and urge to sleep
These manifestations indicate that there is a lot of negativity on you.
Do not expect a quick result that your life will become easier, all diseases and disagreements with loved ones will leave. Prayer practice is a long way for a lifetime.
Prayer for cleansing every thing
Purchases are women's illness and ordinary everyday necessity. Almost we never think that quite specific people worked on the creation of one or another thing - they created, sorted, packed, loaded and unloaded.
Each of them left a piece of himself on things/object in the form of an energy -information cloud. But it would be better to neutralize it, to reset it until we dressed the thing, we brought it to our house.
Clean the thing/subject in any of the methods below:
- read the prayer
“The creator and the brought of the human race, the Danel of the spiritual grace, the supplier of the eternal salvation,
Himself, Lord, an overlord of your holy spirit with a high blessing on this thing, as yes, armed with the power of heavenly intercession to be used,
Assistan will be to bodily salvation and intercession and help, about Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen"
- sprinkle with sacred water three times and repeat the words
“This sacred, in the name of the father, both the son, and the Holy Spirit, is blessed and consecrated (thing). Amen"
- perform a triple procession, which is equated with purification/consecration
Cleaning space with prayers
To fill the house, apartment, office premises or other space with your energy, clean it from the one that is already present there. A sacred word, prayer is an effective way for this.
On the eve of the energy cleaning energy, conduct a general cleaning:
- wash all shelves, glass, windows, doors, batteries, floor
- throw away all unnecessary trash, old newspapers and magazines
- fold in bags/boxes clothes that you no longer use, and in the near future give it to the orphanage/shelter/charitable organization
- And from this moment, develop a habit of performing similar cleaning every week. So the negative on the rude plan will cease to accumulate in space, and the relations of all residents will become warmer and harmonious.
- In the corners of the room, put salt or pure sifted sand in plates. After a couple of hours, wash the floors everywhere, collecting salt/sand. The latter absorb negative vibrations at a more subtle level than dust
- Throw them into the garbage pile or bury them in the ground with a request to the mother-earth to take negative vibrations and transform them into positive and benefit
Runet-spector is full of various recommendations about cleansing space by prayers:
- in each room, hang an icon and a candle in front of it. Read “Our Father” three times in every corner. Go to another room after the candle goes out in the previous
- go throughout the room with one lit candles in the direction of movement of the clockwise. Create the surrounding signs and read “Our Father”, prayers to St. Nicholas the Floody, Life-giving Cross, Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- in addition to bypassing with candles, also sprinkle the room with consecrated water
- add smoking incense or other favorable aromas in the room to protect against the invasion of negativity and evil spirits
- often include songs glorifying the Lord, His deeds and holy personalities. So you fill the space with incense sounds
So, we were established in the faith of the holy word, its strength and action on negative, destructive vibrations and energy. We learned to reasonably and consciously practice a prayer to cleanse themselves, a kind, house, things and any space.
Be happy!
