SAGE

Sage has been used for cleansing rituals in various cultures and spiritual practices for centuries. Burning dried sage leaves, a practice known as smudging, is believed to cleanse negative energy, purify the air, and promote spiritual and emotional well-being. The smoke produced by burning sage is thought to carry away negative energies, thoughts, and emotions, leaving behind a sense of clarity and positivity. Smudging with sage is commonly used in rituals, ceremonies, and personal spiritual practices to purify spaces, objects, and individuals. It's important to approach the practice with respect and mindfulness, understanding its cultural significance and using it in a way that aligns with your beliefs and intentions.

Before burning Safe

Before burning sage, some recommend setting intentions if cleansing for spiritual, energetic, and negativity clearing purposes. Remove animals or people from the room. It's also important to leave a window open before, during, and after cleansing. This allows smoke to escape.

What to say

How to use Sage
