The Cleansing Power of Sage
Burning sage is a Native American practice that is used to clear negative energies from within a space. Sage can be purchased in the form of smudge sticks or loose dried bundles, both of which are available online and in metaphysical stores. Some use an Abalone shell to hold the burning sage and catch any stray embers together with a feather to help spread the smoke from the burning sage. Others just hold the smudge stick in their hands and walk around so that the smoke disseminates within the space. Either way works, just take care of any stray burning embers that may come from the sage. You can also use a saucer to catch any stray embers. One rule of thumb is that the more smoke you create, the more powerful the cleansing! It’s a good idea to open a window in the last room you’ll be smudging or ‘saging’ in order to create an exit path for any negative energies that have been in your home.
Before you begin smudging your home, open all drawers, cabinets and doors. Light the sage. You may need to blow on it to help stoke it and keep it lit. Remember the more smoke, the easier you can clear the negative energy. Go from room with the sage, and smudge all parts of the room, being especially mindful of the corners of the room. While doing this, you can recite prayers of your faith or mantras, or simply command the negative energies to leave the dwelling. Make sure to smudge the attic and basement space as well. To clear the energy around your home, take the sage out the front door of your dwelling and circle clockwise the property if you can. This will clear out residual energies and help transform negative energies into positive energies in your space. Smudging should be done regularly because the energies can build back up over time.

Instead of saying something mean or nasty, say something positive or complementary. A simple “Bless you” can change the course of someone’s day. We all have the power of choice with our words. Words are the way we express ourselves and our feelings. Our language is part of our persona If we can choose to use more positive language rather than negative, our lives will experience greater blessings. So, the next time you get mad and lose your cool, try turning the situation around by using positive language. The more you try to stay positive, the more natural it becomes. Above all, refrain from cursing or using damning language because you end up attracting negative energies in your direction.
