Sage Ritual for Aura Cleansing
This ritual, also known as "smudging," uses the smoke from white sage to remove accumulated negative or stagnant energy from your energy field (aura).
Best time
Any time you feel energetically drained, burdened, or after contact with many people. Especially suitable during a waning moon.
What you will need
- Bundle of white [sage](/learn/herbs/sage) (or a Palo Santo stick)
- Fireproof container (shell or ceramic bowl)
- Feather or fan (optional)
- Matches or lighter
Ritual steps
- Preparation: Open a window in the room so negative energy can exit. Light the tip of the sage bundle, let it burn for a few seconds, then blow it out so it only smolders and smokes.
- Intention: Before starting, set your intention. For example: "I cleanse my energy field of everything that does not serve my highest good."
- Smudging: Take the smoking sage in hand. Starting from your feet, slowly move the sage upward along your body, about 15-20 cm away. Using the feather or your hand, direct the smoke toward your body. Pass over your legs, torso, arms, back (as much as you can), and finally around your head.
- Visualization: As you do this, imagine the gray smoke "clinging" to stagnant energy and carrying it out of your aura, where it disperses and exits through the open window.
- Completion: When finished, carefully extinguish the sage in the fireproof container. Thank the spirit of the plant. Remain for a few minutes in the feeling of lightness and purity.
