Blue sage belongs to the same family as the famous white sage. Plant with thin leaves, it owes its name to its indigo blue flowers. It grows in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It gives off a grassy and floral aroma that resembles that of lavender and is much sweeter than that of white sage.
You can burn it to prepare your meditations or to simply relax. It is also used to purify the atmosphere or to perform protection rituals. Finally, blue sage would be related to abundance and prosperity and it would promote spiritual development and inner strength.
His culture
Our sage comes from 100% natural cultivation, which means that its growth depends on the climate and annual rainfall. The size of the bundles can therefore vary from one year to another, depending on the vagaries of the seasons and more or less abundant harvests. It is interesting to note that, during periods of drought, the concentration of essential oils in the leaves is higher.
How to use it
The Cleansing Ritual is a universal practice that is said to promote mental clarity, joy, and tranquility.
1. Use a heat-resistant container, such as an abalone shell, and set up on a non-flammable surface. Bring a feather or a fan. Choose a plant stick bound with cotton yarn.
2. Light one end of the stick, preferably with a match. Let it burn for a few seconds, then blow out the flame. Be careful, the leaves can fly away quite easily. Place the stick on the chosen container, taking care not to burn yourself.
3. For the places: go through each of the rooms and guide the smoke with the feather or the fan towards the places you want to purify.
4. For people: guide the smoke towards the parts of the body to be purified, towards the head, the arms, the legs, the back, etc.
5. Wait for the stick to turn off. According to Native American belief, it will continue to burn until its beneficial action is complete.
Remember that intent is the basis of any fumigation ritual: if your heart is pure and your purpose noble, the effect will be heightened.
Ventilate the room after use. Do not inhale the smoke directly.
