CALIFORNIAN WHITE SAGE, USA | Purifies negative energy

White sage is a woody plant that grows year-round. It is originally from the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is suitable for growing in dry weather and sunny places. White sage is an ancient spiritual plant that has the main effect of dispelling negative energy and purifying the environment. Therefore, American tribes in ancient times had the custom of burning sage.

There are 7 key points in the effectiveness of sage:

1. purify space
2. Dispel/reduce negative energy

2) After the white sage begins to burn, gently stir it in the air until the flame goes out.

3) After the flame goes out, white smoke begins to be released

4) Start from the door and purify the space in a counterclockwise direction.

Burnt White Sage/Cedarwood Cleansing FAQs and Precautions

Q: When burning sage to cleanse a space, should I open a window?

In fact, negative energy cannot be "completely driven away". The so-called driving away negative energy is actually to reduce the frequency of negative energy to a minimum. Therefore, the saying "open the window to let the negative energy disperse" is not appropriate, and it is more likely to cause the white sage to dissipate. It floated away before it had any effect.

We recommend that when burning sage, you should close the windows first, wait until the entire space has been smoked, and then open the windows to allow the smell and smoke to dissipate naturally. Only in this way can the maximum purification effect be exerted.

Q: The purification is complete, but the sage smoke has not gone out. What should I do?

If decontamination is complete but the sage continues to emit smoke, should I quench it with water? The answer is absolutely not!

Every time we burn sage, we can view it as a purification ritual. The wisps of white smoke from the sage must naturally extinguish before it is complete, so ideally it is best to wait until it is completely smoke-free. Moreover, sage likes a dry environment, so drenching it with water may affect its condition, which is not conducive to its next use. If you must extinguish the smoke, take a sage stick and rub it gently in the container or on the soil until it goes out.

Q: How should I store burned sage?

White sage is a dry plant and is susceptible to moisture or mold in humid air. It is recommended to store it in a cool and dry place, or store it directly in a moisture-proof box. Damp white sage will be more difficult to burn and its purifying effect will be affected.
