Sage
Why use sage? According to Tofillo, sage (Salvia) is an aromatic herb used for centuries for its therapeutic and culinary benefits.
Its name comes from the Latin word “salvere,” meaning “to save” or “to heal,” highlighting its medicinal power.
Sage offers several benefits: it purifies the air with its oils and antimicrobial compounds, making it ideal for burning indoors.
Its calming aroma reduces anxiety, tension, and nervousness, promoting relaxation and well-being.
Additionally, burning sage helps eliminate odors like smoke and mold smells. In spiritual practices, sage is believed to clear the mind and spirit, aiding in self-connection and inner peace.
Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties can relieve respiratory issues such as colds, coughs, and sore throats.
Candles
Women’s Health asked how often we come home after a long, stressful day, light a candle in our bedroom, and immediately feel more at ease. The answer is likely quite often.
Have you ever wondered if there’s some magic behind this ritual of lighting a candle to reset the vibes of your space? According to Women’s Health, the answer is yes.
Candles have been used in spiritual ceremonies since the Stone Age and are still used by many theologies today.
For magic practitioners, different candles are used for various rituals. Each with the power to call upon or dispel positive and negative energies, wishes, and goals.
Sounds
When a space feels “off”, we often blame the furniture arrangement, lack of natural light, low ceilings, and poor Feng Shui. Or maybe you just want to refresh a space for a new season.
Whatever the reason, according to Homes and Gardens, a space that feels negative can be quickly and easily improved with a cleansing ritual using sound.
Sound healer Andrea Donnelly recommends tools like crystal bowls, singing bowls, bells, drums, gongs, and clapping to increase energy and clear low or misaligned energy from your space. The key is finding a tool that excites you because there are many powerful options.
They also suggest using loud noises, like banging a wooden spoon on a saucepan, to cut through stuck energy. Follow up with “feel good” sounds to invite lighter vibes. Use Tibetan bells, a xylophone, a gong, or sing your favorite happy song.
Playing music can also be a wonderful sound cleanse, cheering everyone up and purifying thoughts and intentions in workplaces or during dates.
