Sage = “to heal” or “to save”

Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly tribes in the southwestern regions, have used white sage in ceremonial practices for thousands of years. The burning of sage, called smudging, was considered a way to purify spaces, objects, and people. The practice was deeply woven into their spiritual worldview, which saw smoke as a carrier that could lift prayers to the spiritual world and transform negative energy into positive energy.

Nowadays sage continues to be widely used for smudging and clearing negative energy. What makes sage particularly interesting is that its calming effects. Some research suggests that certain compounds in sage may have mild calming properties. It can be used before meditation, prayer, or other spiritual work.

But beyond the aromatic aspect, when you're performing a smudging ritual, you're taking time to be present and intentional. You’re moving slowly, breathing deeply and focusing your mind on positive intentions.

  3. Let the sage burn for few seconds.

  4. Blow out the flame.

  5. Start cleansing your aura and your space.

Tips:
