Sage Your Way: Learn How to Smoke Sage!

Are you tired of burning incense that smells like your grandma’s potpourri collection? Do you want to add a little extra magic to your meditation routine? Look no further than smoking sage! This ancient practice has been used in rituals and ceremonies for centuries. And who doesn’t love the smell of fresh herbs wafting through their home?

But before we dive into this herbal wonder, let’s answer some basic questions.

What is smoking sage?

Smoking sage involves lighting dried sage leaves and inhaling the smoke, either by blowing it over yourself or using an object such as a feather or shell. The smoke is believed to cleanse negative energy and promote positive energy, making it perfect for spiritual practices.

Now that we have covered the basics let’s get into more detail on how-to-sage-your-way!

Step 1: Preparation

First things first – gather all necessary supplies. You will need:
– Dried white sage leaves
– A lighter or matches

– Either a smudge stick holder, abalone shell, or another fireproof vessel

Pro Tip: Make sure you purchase organic white sage bundles from trusted sellers only!

Next up – clear the space where you plan on smudging so that there are no flammable objects close by. Turn off any fans/AC as well since they can blow out your flame mid-smudging session.

Step 2: Lighting up

Pick up one end of the bundle with one hand; hold lighted match/lighter flame against other side until flames begin licking at the edges Hold bundle at about a 45-degree angle pointing downwards towards your ashtray (which must be placed in front of/on blanket) As soon as embers start glowing within top part bundle tip – gently blow out without allowing ashes flying everywhere but enough to keep the ember lit !At this point aromatic rich billows of smoke should be filling the air – now you are ready!

Step 3: During a Smudging Session

As soon as your herbs begin smouldering and producing smoke, start walking around your space. Hold the vessel containing your sage stick while using it to direct the smoke in whichever areas that feel tense or simply any other spaces that you would like to infuse with even more positive energy. Keep repeating “With this sage I cleanse this space of all negative energy”
Breathing deeply might also help usher some clarity into what’s next for you.

If you have an object such as feather handy – dip into ashes (edges) so that when crushing is done between rubbing them together dust (with grey coloring) being scattered will assist in spreading over larger surface area Cleansing can last anywhere between five minutes to one hour: all up to how many areas need cleansing

Step 4: The Wrap-Up

Once there’s only a bit left of your herb bundle (around 1-2cm but no less than half! Despite common thought, saving any leftover amount of dried herbs actually keeps spirits from feeling disrespected!) gently blow off embers until active flame has extinguished completely.

Ensure ashtray still isn’t placed close by anything flamable especially under blankets etc just making sure there’s atleast several inches distance kept intact . You can then store safely away for later use.
