Smudging or burning Sage, herbal blends, and resins is an ancient spiritual practice of purifying and cleansing your energy field and luminous body. Smudging has been used to clear away unwanted energies from your home, workplace, and land.
Benefits of smudging.
- Research has shown Smudging cleans and purifies our environment of infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is believed to have both anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties killing bacteria and airborne.
- Sage is believed to clear out spiritual impurities, pathogens, and even insects.
- Burning sage is thought to release negative ions and neutralize positive ions. Positive ions can be found in allergens such as pet dander, pollution, dust, and mold. For these reasons, sage burning may benefit asthma, allergies, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. Please note* wait till the smoke has cleared in the room if you have any respiratory infections as it may aggravate respiratory problems with the smoke.
- Sage may have psychoactive properties and effects. Some sages contain a thujone chemical, eliciting a mild psychoactive result. For this reason, healers in traditional cultures have used sage to achieve a healing state to solve or reflect upon spiritual dilemmas.
- Using sage to sit in meditation or any other ritual can profoundly change your mindset. This includes past traumas, bad experiences, or negative energies from others. Smudging and burning sage may be used as a ritual tool to rid yourself or your space of negativity.
Other positive effects of burning sage are
- Boosting memory
- Reducing stress
- Improving the quality of sleep and combating insomnia
- Riding our bodies and objects of negative energy
- Please assist us in welcoming new, fresh, and positive energies.
