How to Use White Sage…

The easiest and most popular way to tune into the benefits of white sage is by burning the dried leaves. This ritual is known as sage smudging – and it’s practiced by burning a bundle of dried sage and then directing the smoke onto the areas that you want to clear or protect.

As the bundle is burning and the smoke spirals, wafts, and begins to fill a space, it is cleansing. As you are burning white sage it’s important to express gratitude for the help of the plants spirit as well as to express your intention for why you are burning sage in the first place.

In this very simply way, the energy of white sage, brings cleansing, protection, and blessings into the space it burned in.

The smoke attaches to negative energies, and as the smoke then begins to dissipate it transforms those negative energies into universal energy. And so, your intention for cleansing, clearing and protection is fulfilled.
