How to use sage to clear the energy

What is sage

The smoke of sage has been used for hundreds of years to clear and purify the energy. When you clear the energy this removes heavy pockets of negativity that can be sitting in your auric field or in the energy of places. When left uncleared, negative energy can make you feel tired, overwhelmed, and even sad or depressed or at a minimum, it can make a place feel uncomfortable to be in. When sage is used to clear the energy of a room or place, this removes stuck negativity created by stressful or traumatic situations and makes the room or place easier to be in, more comfortable and more at peace.

How to use sage

To use sage first pick a ceramic or glass bowl to hold the sage while it burns. If possible, fill the bowl about a quarter in with sand. Separate the branches at the end of the sage stick to make the sage burn better. Next it is important to make your intention to clear your energy and the energy of the room you are in. Sage has a clearing property on its own, however, making your intention to use it to clear the energy enhances and intensifies this natural property. Use matches or a lighter on the end of the sage stick and gently blow on it. Hold the burning sage on top of your bowl to prevent pieces of burning sage to fall on the ground and pass the sage in front of you and on your back as much as you can. To clear a room make sure to sage the corners of the room and ceiling since pockets of energy tend to accumulate on these places.

As you sage make sure that you follow with your intention to clear the energy and purify your auric field and the space you are in.
