Why You Need A Spiritual Detox

WRITTEN BY Brian Jackson

Soul Tribe, there comes a time when no vacation, no nap, and no smoothie cleanse will do. What you need is deeper. You need a spiritual detox—a sacred reset that clears out the energetic junk, the emotional residue, and the heaviness you’ve been carrying.


We are living temples—breathing, pulsing vessels of Divine energy. Just like we sweep our homes, sage our rooms, or recharge our crystals, our spirit needs the same care. Life, trauma, social media noise, toxic people, and unprocessed emotions all leave residue. And when your inner temple is cluttered, your soul starts whispering:


"Let me breathe."


A spiritual detox is about stripping away that residue. It’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. It’s about clearing your inner space so your soul can flow again.

The 7 Steps to Detox Your Spirit


1. Get Still and Call It What It Is


Truth is the first step to freedom. Sit in silence—no phone, no TV, no distractions. Just you, your breath, and your truth. Ask yourself: Where am I out of alignment? Where am I pretending? Write it down. No sugar-coating. No running. You cannot heal what you won’t name.


2. Clean Your Space, Clear Your Energy


Your outer world mirrors your inner world. Start small—your nightstand, your closet, your desk. Get rid of what’s stale, broken, or tied to old energy. Light a white candle, burn sage or palo santo, and play music that lifts your spirit. Let your space become an altar of peace, not a storage room for pain.


3. Fast From What Feeds the Noise


You are what you consume, beloved. That includes food, yes—but also conversations, media, and energy. For seven days, cut the low vibrations: gossip, fear-based news, toxic shows, endless scrolling, and draining relationships. Instead, feed your spirit: uplifting books, affirmations, soulful podcasts, and silence. Watch how light your energy becomes when you stop feeding the noise.


4. Speak Life Into Yourself—Every Single Morning


Words create worlds. Stop waiting for someone else to validate you. Stand in the mirror and declare:

I am enough.

I am healing.    

I am powerful.

I am whole. 


Say it until your reflection believes you. Your soul has been waiting to hear your own voice speak life over it. 

     

5. Bless Your Body Like the Temple It Is


This body? It’s holy ground. Every curve, every scar, every wrinkle—it’s all sacred. Each day, anoint yourself with oil, lotion, or herbs as a ritual. As you rub it in, affirm: “I release what doesn’t belong to me. I honor this vessel.” Caring for your body isn’t vanity—it’s reverence.


6. Release Through Forgiveness (For Real This Time)


Carrying resentment is like dragging chains on your spirit. Write a forgiveness letter—even if you never send it. Burn it. Cry over it. Let it go. Forgive them, forgive yourself, forgive the situation. Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace. Your freedom is waiting on the other side of release.


7. Reconnect With the Divine Daily


Don’t wait until you’re broken to pray, journal, or meditate. Make communion with Spirit your lifestyle. That could be a morning walk in nature, dancing to soul music, journaling your truth, or simply sitting in silence with Source. Keep that line open—because your soul doesn’t just want healing, it wants relationship.
