Here at IGD you will find my personal method of House Cleansing / Blessings that have worked for me in the past. You can choose to try and do the house cleansing / blessing on your own, following the steps below. We believe in helping the spirits who can not cross over by showing them the way. Remember, most of these are lost souls who do not choose to remain here, but some spirits do wish so. If you need any help or assistance, or just have questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you!

House Blessing
Adapted from Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers
Bishop's Committee on the Liturgy National Conference of Catholic Bishops © 1988, pp. 297-301 Light the Smudge Stick and make sure it is smoldering heavily and say the following: "Peace be with this house and with all who live here. Blessed be the name of the Lord" All respond: Amen. The leader / smugger may use these or similar words to Cleanse and Bless the house or building while making sure to walk around and get the smoke from the smudge stick in every corner, nook, and cranny... This is a must! Go from room to room, offering prayers of intercession and sprinkling holy water, if desired. Some of the following prayers may be used. At the entrance: O God, protect our going out and our coming in; Let us share the hospitality of this home with all who visit us, that those who enter here may know your love and peace. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the living room: O God, give your blessings to all who share this room, that we may be knit together in companionship. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the kitchen: O God, you fill the hungry with good things. Send your blessing on us, as we work in this kitchen, and make us ever thankful for our daily bread. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the dining room: Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth, for you give us food and drink to sustain our lives and make our hearts glad. Help us to be grateful for all your mercies, and mindful of the needs of others. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the bedrooms: Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, we may rest in his peace. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the bathroom: Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth. You formed us in wisdom and love. Refresh us in body and in spirit, and keep us in good health that we might serve you. Grant this through Christ our Lord Amen. All return to the starting place. A cross or icon is kissed by each person, and then put in a permanent place of honor. A candle may be lighted before it. All recite the Lord's Prayer. The Leader speaks the Prayer of Blessing: Be our shelter, Lord, when we are at home, our companion when we are away, and our welcome guest when we return. and at last receive us into the dwelling place you have prepared for us in your Father's house, where you live for ever and ever. Amen. All make the sign of the cross as the leader concludes: May the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, and may the word of Christ in all its richness dwell in us, so that whatever we do in word and in work, we will do in the name of the Lord. Amen.
THE LORDS PRAYER is also HIGHLY recommended.
