Hotels, vacation rentals, and any other spaces where many people have been living and sleeping will likely hold strong energy. It’s more noticeable than the energy of a coffee shop or other public space because people will do things in a hotel room that they wouldn’t necessarily do in public. For example, they might have a heated argument with a loved one or have a good long cry about something. Depending on when the space was last cleansed, it could hold a mixture of energy going back for years. No witch wants to waste their vacation being plagued by that kind of energy so today we’re going to talk about some easy ways that you can cleanse your hotel room and make the most of your travel time.
