There are many different items that we use everyday from clothes to food to our transportation. Everything that can be interacted with has its own energy, from the breakfast cereal and toast we consume to the building we stand from 8am-4pm to pay for that cereal. To protect our energy these items must be cleansed of all negative energies and ill mannered spirits. Not only that but have good purposeful energy added so they can benefit us in our lives. When I first started practicing, my continuous failing was leaving the energy empty in an item or the house without giving them new life with positive energy. This allowed bad stagnant energy a place to settle. Many ways exist on how to cleanse and charge items/areas/people with positive energy. These are the main ones I personally use. Be sure to experiment and tweak these and others to fit right with your practice.
House Cleansings can be easily accomplished by lighting a white candle next to a stone/crystal/statue that represents healing. From the Dollar Store, I use a small lifted glass candle holder to burn loose sage from my kitchen in it. Doesn't have to be any kind of special sage or Sage stick, just a little sage that would come in a plastic container from the spice aisle of your local grocery store. With this walk systematically through each room, waving the candle holder in a cross or X pattern over each door, window and archway. "May this space be cleansed of all impurities and all unwelcome spirits. So mote it be. So mote it be. So mote it be." Repeat this as many times as you feel is needed. Afterwards be sure to burn another incense that will help your space most, for me that is usually Lavender. This can easily be accomplished with a scented/anointed candle, incense sticks or even loose incense in a fire safe container. Walk again systematically through the space pulling in positive relaxing energy. Remember to thank Mother Nature for the calming energy and give her any of the excess energy back that was not needed. "So Mote It Be."
Item cleansings can be done in a similar manner. Some items can be cleansed in water, like certain crystals, however I only use smoke so as not to worry about damaging any of my items or equipment. Smoke can come from incense, candles or a personal vape (mine is filled with CBD oil to aid in calming my anxiety). Chant something simple or complex as the smoke consumes the item, either in your mind or out loud. "May this item be cleansed of all impurities, may only pure energy surround and live within. So mote it be. So mote it be. So mote it be." Then add the energy or spell you need to the item for it to fulfill its purpose. For example, after cleansing a stone/crystal, you have to tell the stone what you need it to do. If it's Hematite = protection, Rose Quarts = self love or love for another, Howlite = sleep better and relieve stress, and Amethyst = healing of all things. Add your energy to the object afterward and the stone will be ready to help. Don't forget to periodically cleanse and re-energize witchcraft equipment so they are always ready when they are needed.
Self cleansings work the same as item cleansings but on a deeper plane. While using an incense stick or candle think clean thoughts. Imagine the smoke cleansing every impurity on you and within you. Once you feel the negative properties are gone, make sure to not leave yourself vulnerable to stagnant energy. As with the items be sure to reintroduce positive protecting energy within yourself. Encourage yourself with what you need most by speaking it into being. Maybe you need to relax more or become more focused. Being an Empath also requires more emotional barriers to protect you from what you don't intend to sense. Perhaps more confidence or will is needed, focus on those emotions and strengths, let them fill your being. Then thank the energy, Mother Nature, or Deity that you are asking the help from. When using energy from these higher beings don't forget to give back the energy that you didn't need to use, that way they may be more inclined to help you again in the future. If you are using solely your own energy, remember to take time to regain some of that energy with meditation or eating something sweet to replenish it.
