Ancient Mysterious Ritual: Sage Purification

You may have heard of the mysterious effects that burning sage leaves can bring. Burning sage is a sacred ritual with a long history and has been adopted by many cultures since ancient times. Sage has meanings such as purification and protection. The ritual of sage purification can help you clear the negative energy and magnetic fields in the space, as well as the negative energy brought by physical and mental stress. Today, let's explore the wonderful effects of burning sage together and learn how to use sage purification correctly and the precautions when using it.

The Magical Power of Sage

Sage, also known as "White Sage", originates from North America. It is regarded as a sacred and energetic herb with medicinal properties. It is mainly used by burning, and the smoke it produces is used to purify the space and personal energy. This purification effect is believed to eliminate negative energy and enhance positive energy, thus creating a harmonious environment.

Both Buddhists, Catholics, Maori people, and Native Americans often use this method to purify people or spaces. In many ancient astrology rituals, sage is also widely used by astrologers. Burning sage is regarded as being able to not only clear the negative energy in the space but also purify the body and personal items.

The Positive Effects of Sage

Many people may wonder: What kind of spiritual effects does sage actually have that can have a positive impact on us? You can imagine the space we are in as a large energy magnetic field, and we ourselves also have a small magnetic field. When the energy of the environment we are in or our own energy is low, and the negative aspects gradually affect our body and mind, you may feel lethargic, heavy, burdened, and other negative emotions emerging. At this time, the smoke and aroma produced by burning sage can be like a light veil with purification ability, gradually wrapping, adsorbing, and clearing the negative energy. Let's continue to learn more about the positive effects of sage on our body and mind:

1. The Guardian of Physical and Mental Health

Burning sage can transform negative energy, dispel past traumas, bad experiences, and so on. In addition, it helps to improve the environment for meditation and yoga, relieve stress, and boost the mood. According to a 2016 study by the University of Mississippi, sage is rich in compounds that can activate certain receptors in the brain, and these receptors help to improve the mood, reduce stress, and even relieve pain.

2. A Natural Space Purifier

Sage has antimicrobial properties and can resist infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In addition, the essential oil of sage can be used to repel insects. It is believed that burning sage leaves can serve as a natural space purifier. Many people say that burning sage at home is like taking an energy shower, and the body seems to be able to release muscle tension, especially in the face, forehead, neck, and back.

3. Enhancing Intuition and Spiritual Connection

In the concept of astrology, the connection with the universe energy and the spiritual world is the key to accurately interpreting astrological signs. Sage is regarded as a tool that can open the spiritual channel. When astrologers are in an environment filled with sage smoke, they may feel that their intuition becomes sharper and they are more likely to receive information from the universe. This enhanced intuition helps them to capture those subtle clues and inspirations when interpreting astrological charts, analyzing the positions of planets and the influences of constellations in complex work.

The Correct Way to Use Sage

1. Prepare Tools

Prepare a bunch of white sage, a fireproof container (such as an abalone shell or a ceramic bowl), and a fan or a feather.

2. Light the Sage

Use a lighter or a match to light one end of the sage. Once it is lit, blow out the flame to let it smolder slowly.

3. Purify the Space

Move the smoldering sage in the space that needs to be purified, such as a room, a vehicle, or around an individual. Use the fan or the feather to gently fan the smoke to spread it out. Choosing a horizontal figure-eight movement path can enhance the effect.
 

4. Handle with Care

During the use process, pay attention not to let the ashes of the sage fall onto flammable items. After completion, place the sage in the fireproof container and let it extinguish naturally.

 

Precautions for Using Sage 

1. Whether to Open the Window

Some people think that opening the window helps to dispel negative energy. However, according to the energy transformation theory, negative energy is not "driven away" but transformed into positive energy. Therefore, whether to open the window should be determined according to personal preference and the density of the smoke.

 

2. Safety First

When using sage, pay attention to the safety of the fire source. Avoid using it near flammable items and ensure sufficient ventilation.

 

3. Respect Tradition

The purification ritual of sage has a profound history and meaning in the indigenous culture. When using it, treat this tradition with respect and reverence, and avoid using it as a fashion or entertainment.

 

4. Pay Attention to Body Reactions

Some people may have allergic reactions to the smoke of sage. If you feel uncomfortable during the use process, such as having difficulty breathing, eye irritation, or skin allergy, stop using it immediately.

 

5. The Importance of Mindset

When conducting the sage purification ritual, it is very important to maintain a positive and open mindset. Believe that this process can bring positive changes and focus on the goals and intentions you want to achieve.

 

6. Reasonable Use

It is not recommended to overuse sage purification. Appropriate and reasonable use can achieve the effects of purification and balance.

 

7. The Influence of Negative Energy

When the negative energy is too heavy, the sage may go out when used for purification. This is due to the influence of negative energy, which causes the burning time of the sage to be very short. However, if you conduct sage purification several times, the energy can gradually be balanced, and the burning time of the sage will also increase accordingly.

 

8. Contraindicated Groups

Pregnant women, people who have drunk alcohol, and people with epilepsy are contraindicated.
