Eucalyptus & Lavender | Smudge/Cleanse Yourself & Your Home Set of Two w/Sack

•With the chaotic nature of today's modern world, the idea of cleansing our spaces & ourselves of negative energy sounds quite appealing. Cue the ritual of sage burning, also known as smudging, an essential part of many Native American cultures. •Sage belongs to the Salvia plant family & is derived from the Latin word salvere, which means "to heal." •Aside from the metaphysical uses of smudging, research is showing that sage can also be used to benefit physical, mental, & emotional well-being. •If you're new to the practice of smudging, there are a few more items you'll need to get started. - Traditionally, people use an abalone shell to hold the sage & then use a feather to fan & spread the smoke around the space once the sage is burning. •Gather your tools, open a door or window before lighting up. After all, that negativity (not to mention smoke) needs to have a pathway to get out. •Set your intention, It can be something you come up with on your own, or for a little guidance, "I let go & release what no longer serves me." •Light Up, hold the sage at a 45-degree angle, light it using, & let it burn for about 20 seconds. After, gently blow out the flame so you see orange embers on one end. The smoke should now billow up. •Slowly walk around your space. Guide the smoke & the negative energy toward the open window/door, so it can escape. Pro tip: Don't get it wet! How often you Smudge is up to you, when you feel too stressed, that's a good time! •Extinguish in shell
