Energetically Cleanse Your Space

Smudging is an ancient practice used to cleanse stagnant or negative energies from a place, an object or even yourself. This simple and powerful method helps you restore energetic balance and create a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in your space. Discover how to use sage to purify your environment effectively.

Why Purify with Sage?

• Clear negative energies: After a period of stress, conflicts or visits, sage helps to renew the energy of your space.
• Promotes serenity: Sage smoke brings a feeling of clarity and lightness, ideal for meditation or work.
• Preparing a Space for Rituals: Smudging with sage is often used before a ritual or meditation to ensure a sacred environment.

Steps to Purifying Your Space with Sage

Choose your Sage
Choose bundles of white sage or blends with other herbs (lavender, rosemary) depending on your needs.

• White Sage: Ideal for deep purification.
• Sage and Lavender: To combine purification and relaxation.
• Sage and Rosemary: For energetic cleansing and enhanced protection.

Prepare your Tools

• A bundle of sage or dried leaves.
• A heat-resistant container (abalone shell or bowl).
• A match or lighter.
• A feather or fan (optional) to direct the smoke.

Purify the Space

Step 1: Light the Sage
Light the bundle and let it burn for a few seconds before blowing gently to create dense smoke.

Step 2: Move the Smoke
Move slowly around the room, directing the smoke towards corners, doors and windows to clear stagnant energies.

Step 3: Focus on Intentions
While cleansing, focus on positive affirmations or intentions, such as: “I free this room of all negative energy and invite peace.”

Purify yourself or an object

Pass the smoke around your body or a specific object (jewelry, crystals) to cleanse it energetically.

Ventilate the space, once the ritual is finished, open the windows to let negative energies escape and allow fresh air to circulate.
