For many years now I have been cleansing the energy in our living & work spaces. It might seem a bit whohoo, but everything is energy and when you become still in meditation you might observe external energies “sticking around” on your body and in your space.
I most often use my diffuser and essential oils to do this. My family seems accepting of this.
But every so often I bring out a Palo Santo stick or a herb smudge stick to cleanse the house with smoke when no one is around to complain about the smell ;-). I now have a white sage plant in our garden again, so often I just dry the leaves and burn them in a Paua Shell or Ash tray walking through the house. I actually enjoy the smell the of both the Palo Santo and White Sage smoke. I feel its comforting.
You can buy Palo Santo sticks online. Please make sure they are sustainably sourced. I think Kate @capesouth sells them too.
Cushla sells beautiful smugesticks she makes with herbs from her garden https://www.cushlaherbalist.
If you just want a few leaves of white sage, I can cut you some from my plant as a gift. I don’t use them all.
Most essential oils are lovely to diffuse and refresh the energy. Trees are grounding, Citrus uplifting, Flowers balancing. I use On Guard if I want to cleanse the air if there is sickness going around in the house. Lemongrass, Lemon Eucalyptus, Lemon Myrtle, Litsea, the Purify blend are all great to get rid of yucky vibes. Click HERE for more info on how to buy the oils through your own account.
Happy cleansing!
