peace and blessings everybody welcome to
my first video I'm super excited today I
want to give you a short tutorial on how
to use sage to purify your home sage and
some of you are familiar with in some of
you are it is a plant that's native to
North America and it's been used by
indigenous peoples for a very long time
to purify themselves spiritually
mentally emotionally and also physically
to purify themselves their bodies and
also their spaces traditionally used in
sweat lodges it is a very very very
powerful purification tool so so you
don't get confused there are a couple
different varieties of sage one is the
sage it's commonly used for cooking and
also for medicinal teas that is salvia
officinalis that's not the one that
we're going to use for purification then
there's another one called salvia
divinorum and that is commonly known as
divining sage which is used in
ritualistic ceremonies it is a
hallucinogen so it provides a gateway
into the spirit world and then there's
the white sage and that's the one that
we're going to use today the white sage
is also known as a salvia iana and
that's the one you want to look for if
you're gonna look if you're looking for
some sage to burn however I have heard
through the grapevine that all of them
are fine burning sage also known as
smudging has become quite popular and so
you can find the sage bundles pretty
easily in health food stores
I found marcin bundle of sage and I'll
be running today at Whole Foods so
before we get started I want to just
make a little checklist of some things
that you'll need first of course you'll
need a lighter or a match and you'll
also need a heatproof bowl and of course
your sage bundle gather all of these
things
and before you get started I'm gonna
suggest one more thing which is to crack
a few choice windows in the in your
house just to allow for the negative
energy to move out and the positive
image from nature to come in and replace
that during your serum I use an abalone
shell as my heat proof Bowl you can find
these in health food stores and online
as well basically what I'm gonna do is
open up at the stage about earlier and
you just want to write it like this
I didn't burn for just a moment didn't
like the flame go out and now you've got
a net flow of smoke okay and then as I
smoke starts building up I like to
purify myself first so I take the sage
bundle and I gently move it around my
body over my head all the way around and
visualize any negative energy that's
accumulated on my body moving out and
being replaced by positive energy you
may want to say a prayer as you're
working something to the effect of
please remove all negative energies and
I ask that only those things that are
positive and in my highest good those
energies be allowed to remain or be
carried in my in my energy aura my
spirit field how whatever you'd like to
say whatever feels great whatever feels
good to you that's what you want to use
whatever makes you feel powerful I'm
it's just that and so you move all the
way around your body and then that do
you feel like you've fully washed your
body with the sage Smoke I like to close
my eyes and take a few deep breaths and
just kind of go into that space of
feeling cleansed and and renewed and
then when you're ready then you can take
that say H smoke and continue all around
the house what you want to do is you
want to use your hand I like to use a
feather and move this the smoke through
your house from the ceilings to the
floor the floor to the ceiling and just
allow it to wash over your entire home I
like to start at the front door work my
way all the way through the house and
then get back to the front door and I
open the door and clear that last little
bit some people like to say prayers as
they're working can say the same kind of
prayer that you said for your body for
purifying and allowing
negative energies to leave and those
positive images to come in or you can't
end or you can you symbol some people
like to do the sign of the Cross some
people like to draw a pentagram in the
air maybe you're a Reiki Master you
practice Reiki and you want to use Reiki
symbols all of those things are great
you want to use what your ecology is and
what feels most powerful to you so you
work your way all around the house being
sure that you really concentrate on
those areas that don't commonly get a
lot of sunlight places where it's dark
places that these are the kind of places
where negative energy accumulates and
they really need a good cleansing some
people will do closets also closets
underneath the bed it's really up to you
how thorough you want to be whatever
feels right to you and then once you're
finished you can blot out the sage
that's what I normally do some people
will use a little bit of water to stop
the smoke come flowing and if you don't
mind the smoke you can also just allow
to burn out and it won't burn for very
long maybe 5-10 minutes max and that
just kind of let's it can the process
continue I think that even though it's a
very very simple ceremony you can do it
in probably five minutes it's so
powerful it's so powerful this it goes a
long way to raising your mood and in
clearing out any negative energy in your
space a really good time to use the
ceremony is after you've had an argument
or some type of negative event in the
house also maybe you've had an
unexpected guest maybe you've had
service bin or repair people coming into
your home and you want to clear all that
energy perfect perfect times to use
ceremony so if this is your first time
smudging smudge away congratulations for
trying something new and awakening that
little sage inside of you that knows
exactly what to do peace and blessings
and namaste to you
