Burning sage can have a significant impact when used after an argument, after an illness, before and after parties, after an intense workout, prior to meditation, when moving into a new space and during periods of grieving. Proper use of a sage stick doesn’t have to include a complex ritual, but even a simple smoke cleansing can be enhanced by implementing certain tips. When wafting the sage around your space, be certain pay extra attention to gateway areas like windows, doorways, hallways and closets. Make sure windows are open to allow ventilation so that the smoke does not become overwhelming. To direct the smoke, you can one hand to hold the burning sage within an abalone shell or similar non-flammable bowl.
How to use white sage:
Sage your space. Open your front door and all of the windows in the house to allow the unwanted energy to be released. Starting at the front door, sage around the outside of the door and frame. Now, walk back inside, and begin saging the space by moving counter-clockwise through it—this is symbolic of taking negative and unwanted energy out. Using the feather, waft the smoke into the corners of every room and up to the ceiling. Say these words out loud or silently: “I ask that the plant spirit of the sage please remove and release any negative energy from this space.”
While you are cleansing your home with sage, take this time to also cleanse your crystal collection. Let the smoke of burning sage completely envelop each gemstone while you thoughtfully remind yourself of the intention you have set for it. Ask that the burning sage cleanse and activate its frequencies, releasing it from any previous programming or unwanted energy.
Finally, to clear away any unwanted energy from any hands that have touched your crystals before you, immerse them in the sacred smoke of the sage. When you’re finished, extinguish the sage stick by snuffing it out inside of the shell or a fireproof container.
