Then, theoretically, it continues doing exactly what you intended. That sounds wonderfully convenient. It is also probably unrealistic. Anything that is used regularly changes over time.

The Difference Between Cleansing and Banishing Cleansing and banishing are often treated as though they are interchangeable. They are not. Both practices deal with unwanted energy, influence, presence, or residue, but they do not serve the same purpose. One removes what has accumulated.
