How To Bring The Ancient Art Of Sage Cleansing Into Your Home
Think of a time when you had a bad feeling or negative outlook that you just couldn’t shake. Maybe negative emotions left over from an upsetting encounter were at play or you went into a new space and immediately felt something was “off.” Whether you credit this to intuition, energy, spirits, or something else entirely, we’ve all had the experience of our sixth sense kicking in. Although these moments are usually fleeting, they can be a real nuisance if they stick around, and you might wonder if there are any ways to turn the feeling around. Enter sage cleansing.
Burning sage, a practice also known as smudging, is said to help clear negative energies. It can be done to clear the energy around a particular person—yourself included—or to remove bad energy from a space.
While it may sound unusual or even exotic, many people who have experimented with and adopted sage cleansing in recent years report that they’ve had positive experiences.
“The smell of the environment is changed and there is a very subtle change in the temperature and texture of the air when sage is burned which is highly symbolic and suggests to the subconscious mind that things are now different,”
People who practice sage cleansing regularly tend to smudge because they believe burning sage removes heavy, negative energy out of a space or away from a person.
Henes, for one, says “The practice of burning sage or any other substance serves to clear the air of stagnant, disagreeable energy and to lift the aura of the surroundings.”
Smudging after emotional release—like an argument, mourning a loss, or coming home frustrated and winding up even more agitated by the messes in your living space—might be a way for you to tune into and take care of your surroundings, then reset and move on from the negativity.

Discover Aromatherapy
Relaxing in a nice bath, with candles lit, add a few drops of lavender essential oil in the water and you’ll notice the difference immediately. As you smell the relaxing fragrance of the oil as it surrounds you, it’s peacefulness and tranquility will lift your spirits, promoting relaxation and soothes your stresses away!
Aromatherapy is the art of healing with ‘essential’ oils – distilled essences derived from plants.
These can be used in massage and inhalation techniques, added to bathroom products such as soap, skin creams, bath gel and shampoo. Also I forgot to mention, used to create room fragrances.
Aromatherapy also includes the use of incense – this can be as loose powder, or as Joss sticks), pot pourri, steam inhalations, scented candles and fresh flowers.
All of the above mentioned can be used to raise your mood, treat ailments and improve your sense of well-being.
How it works…
Through the nose
- When we smell a fragrance, we take its healing molecules into our bodies (scented candles are an ideal way of filling your surroundings with gentle, relaxing aromas.)
- Heating essential oils and burning Joss sticks vaporises the oil so that we can breathe in its molecules more easily. (Decorative glass beads, a pot plant or window box, or a small glass of sand all make ideal Joss stick holders.)
Through the skin
- Essential oils applied to the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream to take immediate effect. (Undiluted essential oils are available from many shops. Dilute a few drops in 20mj of blending oil or body lotion.)
Healing crystals
The magic of Crystals~Introduction
Crystals simplistic nature and beauty offers them a magical presence in our lives, besides a simple decorative form in our homes.
In today’s society it’s amazing how many people wear decorative stones in jewellery pieces, and have them scattered around in their homes. Our fascination in Crystals stems back to the Stone Age! Throughout history Crystals within many cultures and religions, have been used symbolically, decoratively and practically.
Useful facts about Crystals and how they work
Crystals can be used to gather and direct magical energies around us. Like ancient mystics, we can learn to use them for protection, healing and for luck.
Every Crystal has its own magical attributes and abilities.
The magic of crystals is in its colour-this is determined by the rate at which their atoms vibrate. These vibrations are matched to the energy given off by your body’s aura.
Channeling energies can be drawn from the crystal to provide properties of healing and for divine communications. Very much the same as retracting and focusing light through the crystal.
