Embarking on this 30-day spiritual cleanse was a commitment to realign with the universe’s rhythm — re-opening my heart and soul to clarity, purpose, and heightened spiritual engagement. I was coming out of a time of immense physical healing, mental cloudiness, and overall slugginess. 

Yes — I, a spiritual guide and practictioner, needed a major spiritual shift. 

I am filled with SO much gratitude for everyone who joined me on this transformative journey. This written offering is a closer look at my experience, enriched with specific examples of affirmations and oracle insights from each phase.

30-Day Cleanse Set-up

Mindful Meditation

• Meditate for 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.

• Journal the spiritual messages that are delivered to you.

Set-up a stationary or Traveling Alter 

Butterflies, there are many times when we may be away from our home alter but desire to connect with the Divine. Creating a sacred space is about connecting to the intention of the energy you call in during ceremony.

Here are a few items you can pack into a traveling alter to create a sense of home, while away from home (or at home). 

1. Oracle or Tarot Deck of choice 

2. Incense within a symbolic spiritual holder

3. Essential oils container 

4. Sacred Journal & Pen

Days 1–5: Connection & Fulfillment 

The journey began with a foundation of clear intentions. 

INTENTION: “Be clear and decisive. Focus on what you really want. Be bold with your requests to the Universe.” 

This affirmation on Day 2 became my mantra, guiding me to create a spiritual altar, a physical manifestation of my readiness to connect with the universe.

Throughout my journey, each day’s affirmation seemed to weave seamlessly into the next, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of self and connection and the daily calling the spiritual guides lead me to. 

The significance of community and positive influence revealed itself during the meditations of Day 3: 

FRIENDSHIP: “Seek out your soul family. Surround yourself with positive people.”

This notion of surrounding oneself with a “soul family” resonated deeply, reminding me of the profound impact our social circles can have on our journey toward self-awareness. 

Above is a photo from a walk I took in preparation for the 30-day spiritual cleanse by the beach. Take note of the incoming plant and flower buds, shedding of old leaves 🍃 + 1st signs of wildlife returning home after a period of hibernation.

On Day 5: the Oracle message echoed a similar sentiment, encouraging me to embrace openness and worthiness. Day 5’s messages served as a gentle nudge towards gratitude and acceptance, reminding me to remain receptive to the blessings that come my way. 

RECEIVE: “Be open to receiving goodness. Believe you are worthy of abundance” 

Together the affirmations and spiritual insight received from Day 1–5, aligned in their guidance towards a more profound sense of connection and fulfillment.

Days 6–10: Voice and Vision

As I stepped into the second week, the calling to focus on my inner voice as an anchor for manifestation became more apparent. There was a powerful spiritual energy felt at this time, encouraging me to express my truths and desires boldly.

Day 6’s affirmation:

INTENTION: “Use your voice, speak up. Sing your song out to the Universe.” 

Day 7’s affirmation: 

TRUST: “Leap into the unknown. Have faith and move forward. Believe you will fly.”

Days 11–15: Inner Strength and Prosperity

The midpoint of the cleanse brought focus to inner strength and the manifestation of prosperity. The intentional work of inner transformation started to become physically taxing, urging an even deeper need for body care and intentional nourishment during this period of the 30-day spiritual cleanse. 

Celebrating even the smallest victories became a daily practice, aligned with the channeled affirmation from Day 12, “Today I will keep myself accountable.” 

Epsom salts, rich in magnesium and sulfate, have long been celebrated for their therapeutic properties. 

By dissolving Epsom salts in warm water and adding a few drops of your favorite essential oils, you create a luxurious bath that helps to soothe tired muscles and promotes deep relaxation and stress relief.

Day 15 brought messages of prosperity to me and the Butterfly family engaged with the space during this 30-day cleanse (30-day cleanse chat). “A gift of money is on its way. Your income is increasing,” served as a symbol of not just monetary advancement, but also spiritual abundance — reminding me to manage my blessings with love and gratitude.

Days 16–20: Manifestation & Divine Timing

These days taught me the power of manifestation and acceptance of divine timing. The Day 16 channeled affirmation, “I will not internalize the shortcomings of others” helped me focus on manifesting my gifts and talents, freeing me from the burden of others’ expectations.

The divine timing message from Day 20, “The Divine brings things in the timing that we need. Nothing comes before we’re prepared, nor leaves too early. May I always trust your perfect timing dear Divine…” was a gentle nudge to trust in the universe’s perfect timing, encouraging patience and faith.

Days 21–25: Transformation and Growth

As the cleanse neared its conclusion, themes of transformation and growth took center stage. The spiritually channeled message: “I can bring my full self to every interaction I encounter” from Day 21, encouraged me to embrace profound change. This period was a testament to the courage, strength, and patience required for deep transformation.

Day 24 called me to reconnect with the power of prayer: 

GROWTH — Plants (Oracle):

“Magic is in everyday things. You can make something from nothing. Blossom, it’s time. From small things, big things grow. Begin it.”

Today’s prayer:

“Thanking Spirit and The Divine (God) for structure and divine alignment. For divine sight. For divine renewal. The ability to breathe again to have an opportunity to walk again, to heal to have an able body. God, I pray and trust and know that I will be taken care of with the gifts you have bestowed upon me.”

Days 26–30: Independence and Enlightenment

The final days of the cleanse were a journey towards independence, true love, and enlightenment. The affirmation from Day 28, encouraging self-acceptance and the release of perfectionism, resonated deeply with me, marking a significant turning point in my spiritual journey.

(repeat 3x out loud) 

I remove from my spiritual system, the energy disappointment I believe others may have in me. 

I release my need for perfection. 

I allow space for rest, healing and recovery. 

(repeat 3x)

The enlightenment oracle on Day 29, “The knowledge you seek is seeking you…” coupled with Day 30’s message from Atete, Goddess of Worthiness: “You matter. Worthiness is in your veins…” brought my journey full circle. These messages emphasized the importance of self-worth and enlightenment, teaching me to stand tall in my truth and embrace my divine energy.

Great Goddess Atete, queen of the Gods, is a fierce protector of women and girls for the Oromo people of Ethiopia. 

Atete’s Guidance: Stop hiding, shrinking, and playing small. Stand tall like the majestic sycamore tree. 

You are mighty. Life does not need to be perfect for you to embrace your own perfection.” 

Embodiment: “You matter. Worthiness is in your veins. Accept yourself now. Your birth certificate says that we need your overflowing, magic, joy, and vulnerability — and most importantly, we need you. You are deserving and worthy. The beautiful parts of you that everyone likes are worth loving. The parts that you or others dislike are worth loving too. Your creator loves you unconditionally.” 

Goddess Declaration: “I matter.”

To all who walked this path with me, your presence, energy, and support have been a source of strength and inspiration. Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey. Together, we’ve embraced our truths, stood tall in our divine energies, and prepared for the rebirth that follows a profound spiritual cleanse.
