In my experience the sweeping light method; returning curses part 1 and 2 in the mediation section work best for cleaning the soul.
The thing is, the mantras; the reciting the rosary, cleans daily dirt/negative energy while the the sweeping light removes dirt, curses, thought forms etc all that crap from your soul, not only negative energy. My aura and soul always feels brightest and cleanest after that.
But adding the mantras to clean your soul before doing the sweeping light method will be more effective than just doing the sweeping light.
You don’t need a rosary to do the mantras for cleaning the aura. All the rosary is for is for keeping track of the repetitions.
For cleaning the aura, it’s not a bad idea to keep track of the numbers and repetitions but if you don’t do the mantra for an exact amount of repetitions, it’s not gonna ruin the working or make it less effective really.
You can just vibrate suryah into your soul/aura/chakras while imagining them as a powerful white gold and feel them cleaning your soul and getting rid of the bad energy. Will it.
Then you can do the sweeping light method. HPS Maxine mentioned that doing the sweeping light method is always easier when your energies are raised before hand, keep that in mind.
So you should put time into learning and mastering the sweeping light method for cleaning. It might take a while and when it’s hard to visualize, try to stop and raise your energies then try again or just try again or later.
Doing this for your soul/your aura 3 times and then doing the sweeping light method for each of your chakras is most effective in my experience. You really focus on cleaning your soul and chakras with that method, you’ll notice a difference.
