Start your sage cleansing ritual by asking the plant spirit of the sage to be there with you, and ask that it assist you in cleansing you, your space and your crystals. It can seem like another chore to constantly worry about cleansing your space, but you will notice a huge difference if you invest just a short amount of time. What works for us is a simple saging session that can be done in 5-10 minutes.
Start your sage cleansing by opening the doors and windows. This allows the sage smoke to be released, along with any toxic or negative energy. Sage the entrance first, which helps to ward off any negative vibes that can come through the entranceways. Then, work your way through your home and the rooms clockwise, making sure to be extra thorough in corners, which accumulate more toxic energy than other areas.
Don't forget restrooms and closets, another place where energy often gets stuck. Lift up the toilet seat and sage thoroughly, making sure to always keep the lid closed. In Feng Shui, the belief system follows the idea that energy gets sucked downward, through the pipes, which is why toilets with open lids and leaky sinks can deplete the home of energy.
Carry the abalone shell to catch any ashes and use the feather to waft the sage smoke into the hard-to-reach areas of your home. After a sage cleansing, you'll notice that the air feels lighter and your gemstones have an extra sparkly luster.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU SAGE:
Typically, a sage cleansing should be done once or twice a week. If there has been an argument or someone is recovering from an illness, a daily sage cleansing can make a big difference. With more heavy vibes in the air than usual, you might notice that the space feels thick with stagnant energy. As the negativity is released, it needs somewhere to go, and sage cleansing is one of the quickest and most effective ways to neutralize and clear away dark energy.
