Burn Sage! Is the cry when you’ve feeling flat.

Or you’re having a restless sleep.

Believe me there’s plenty of times people say that you need to burn sage.

In fact, you probably don’t!

When it comes to sage, it’s a good idea to make sure that the sage is ethically grown and produced.

Just remember as well, that you don’t HAVE to use sage.

Look to the native people of your area and find out what they used to do or still practice.

Make the effort to learn from them.

Personally, I’m not a fan of sage because I don’t like the smell.

Let’s be honest that stink if you don’t like it really doesn’t leave you feeling ‘uplifted’ and cleansed!

So, instead of sage you may want to look at essential oils – lavender, or anything citrus.

Or you may like to mix up some fresh lavender, thyme and salt in a bowl, then add some hot water.

When it’s cooled you can put in some lemon juice or any Citrus juice.

Then just walk around each room and let it gently waft and cleanse.

That just helps its energies be right for you.

Respect that when you burn sage that you’re sensitive to native people.

Oh, and before you light it and start wafting it around your house, just make sure that no-one’s allergic to it.

It can be a potent smell as I’ve mentioned.

So, when should you burn sage? (Or any herb that cleanses)

If you’re moving house, so that you clear the energy of the past residents.

After all, you have no idea if the people who moved out were cranky old sods who always fought.

Better to start with a nice clean energy slate!

If you’ve had a doozy of an argument with your partner or a family member in your home.

Again, it just helps clear the energy.

If someone has been sick at home, you don’t want that ‘sick’ energy to be hanging around.

After all, it’s really draining for everyone.

If you’ve spent some time with someone who is draining or toxic.

Then you may want to burn sage and just put it around yourself.

If they’ve been in your home, then do the rooms that they’ve been in.

If you purchase anything second hand, you want to remove the energies of the people that have previously owned it.

Feeling in a bit of a shitty mood?

Then burn sage – or if you like, some sage incense, or sage essential oil.

If you want to cleanse any objects, you know like your crystals then again light up the sage and cleanse away.

Hope this helps and let me know how it goes for you.

Love & light
