Californian White Sage (10cm height)
White Sage can be used to cleanse spaces, yourself, and crystals from negativity by harnessing its purifying smoke. This ritual is believed to help release stagnant energy, invite positivity, and restore a sense of balance and harmony.
Cleansing Crystals
To cleanse your crystals, follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your White Sage
Light the tip of your white sage stick and allow it to produce smoke. Gently blow out the flame if necessary, ensuring the sage continues to smoulder.
2. Set Your Intention
Hold your crystal in your hand and focus on your intention to release any unwanted or negative energy. You may set your intention silently in your mind or speak it out loud.
For example: “I release all unwanted energy from this crystal and welcome pure, positive energy.”
3. Pass Through the Smoke
Gently pass your crystal through the smoke for a few seconds, allowing the smoke to surround it from all sides.
4. Visualise the Cleansing
As the smoke surrounds your crystal, visualise any negativity being released and replaced with fresh, positive energy. Imagine your crystal being renewed and ready to support your intentions.
5. Express Gratitude
Take a moment to express gratitude and set an intention for your crystal, whether it is for love, protection, abundance, peace, or emotional balance.
For example: “May this crystal support me in attracting abundance, protecting my energy, and welcoming positive opportunities into my life.”
This ritual is believed to help purify and renew the energy of your crystals, leaving them feeling refreshed and aligned with your intentions.
