Sage

Sage remains a powerful and versatile herb, valued not only for its aromatic qualities but also for its role in cultural and spiritual practices that promote purification, healing, and connection to higher wisdom.

It is often used in rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices for its purifying and cleansing properties.

Burning sage, a practice known as smudging, is to clear negative energy, purify spaces, and create a sense of spiritual cleanliness.

Sage is associated with wisdom and is used to seek guidance, promote healing, and enhance spiritual awareness.

Each combination of white sage with various botanical elements brings a unique aromatic experience and carry specific symbolic or spiritual significance.
Sage burning, or smudging, is an ancient practice used to cleanse and purify a space, object, or person of negative or stagnant energy. It is a simple and powerful ritual to invite peace and positive energy.

How to Sage:

1. Open a Window or Door: Before you begin, open a window or door. This is crucial because it gives the negative energy a clear path to exit your space.
2. Light the Sage Bundle: Hold the sage stick at a slight angle and light the end with a lighter or a match. Let it burn for about 30 seconds.
3. Gently Extinguish the Flame: Gently blow out the flame. The sage will produce a steady stream of fragrant, thick smoke.
4. Walk Through Your Space: Start at one corner of the room or house and walk clockwise. Use your hand or a feather to guide the smoke into all corners, around furniture, and into any space that feels heavy.
5. Cleanse an Object or Yourself: To cleanse an object, gently pass it through the smoke. To cleanse yourself, guide the smoke around your body from head to toe.
6. Extinguish Completely: When you're finished, press the smouldering end of the sage stick into a fireproof bowl or shell until the smoke stops completely. Do not use water to extinguish it, as this can damage the sage for future use.

Tips for an Effective Cleansing

• Set an Intention: As you sage, focus on your intention. Silently say a prayer or affirmation, such as, "I release all negative energy and invite peace and harmony into this space."
• A Little Goes a Long Way: You only need a small amount of smoke. You can relight the sage bundle multiple times.
• Ventilation is Key: Always remember to keep a window or door open to ensure the energy can leave.
• Ethical Sourcing: Sage is a sacred plant, so choose bundles that are responsibly and sustainably harvested.
