Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt a heavy, negative energy weighing you down? It's not uncommon to pick up on the energy of a space, whether it's your home, office, or even a friend's place. If you're looking for a way to cleanse and purify the energy in your space, sage smoke cleansing might be the perfect solution for you.
What is Sage Smoke Cleansing?
Sage smoke cleansing, also known as smudging, is a practice that involves burning sage leaves and allowing the smoke to waft through the air. This ancient ritual is able to cleanse negative energy, purify the space, and promote a sense of peace and clarity.
How to Perform a Sage Smoke Cleanse of your space.
To perform a sage smoke cleanse, you'll need a bundle of dried sage leaves, a heat-proof dish or bowl, and a lighter or matches. Start by opening all your windows and doors (where possible) lighting the sage bundle until it catches fire, then gently blow out the flames so that the sage is smoldering and producing smoke. Walk around your space, allowing the smoke to reach all corners and areas that need cleansing. Focus on areas where negative energy tends to linger, such as doorways, windows, and corners......... Be careful saging over carpets and furniture as a small spark can burn holes. (Yes, I have done this myself)
Sage smoke your crystals by laying them on a heat proof surface like stone, marble or glass. I use a marble kitchen bench and the cook top exhaust fan and gently wave the smoke around and over your crystals until you feel they are fully cleansed of any energies they have taken on. Place each crystal on or next to a piece of Selenite or outside in the garden or under the moonlight when there is a full moon to relpenish and restore them back to their natural state.
