Some people can not burn things due to rules at the dwelling, allergies or they just don’t like the smell of it!
You can still get the same cleansing without the smoke!
Smokeless Smudging Mist to the rescue!
What you need:
Amber Glass Bottle - never use plastic. Essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers, as some properties in many essential oils will break down the plastic , which can destroy the oil and often cause leakage.
Crystal Infused Moon-water (this is believed to raise the energy to a higher vibration in which attributes to becoming more beneficial and healing) You can use spring water if you do not have moon water.
Pure Organic Essential Oils of Sage, Cedarwood, & Lavender
1 small clear quartz crystal. The crystal should have been used to infuse your moon water ahead of time. If you don’t have moon water you can use spring water and infuse that with your crystal as well. Clear Quartz is safe to be submerged in water.
25 Drops Sage: A traditional smudging herb with multiple purposes such as healing, protecting, empowering, clearing space and can be used in any kind of ceremony or ritual. Typically used for removal and cleansing of negative energy. Sage neutralizes existing negativity and makes a psychic shield against tensions. Historically used to clear the air of negativity.
15 Drops Cedarwood: A majestic tree that expresses a great spiritual strength. Can be known to help with chronic stress and depression. Cedar is a traditional Native smudge that brings both cleansing and healing to oneself and their space. Cedar is an herb of purification and protection. Guards against all negative influences and dark energy/thoughts.
10 Drops Lavender: An all purpose healing herb that gently cleanses and empowers. Lavender is a great oil for cleansing a room and raising the vibration. Lavender is also known to be relaxing, so having it in a room before a social event can prevent negative energy before it starts.
Add all the oils to your glass bottle, then fill the rest of the bottle up with water. Shake to mix all ingredients together. Shake prior to each use. Store in cool, dark place out of direct sunlight.
Cleansing yourself: Have an intention. Set it clearly in your mind. Believe it. Lightly spray the mist on you and around you. Avoid eyes.
Cleansing your space: Walk around the room slowly and focus on cleansing and clearing all negative energy. You should focus in corners, behind doors and closets.
Some people also find it very helpful to speak an incantation, a thought or to chant during cleansing but this is not necessary for it to work. You can also stay silent and simply focus on your intention and inner voice.
I go in between saying this chant below and sometimes come up with organic intentions as they come to me; do what feels right to you.
“ Cleanse and bless this home and hearth. Drive away all harm and fear so that only good may dwell in here.”
Blessed be.
And as with anything containing essential oils, please use caution around pets, if you are pregnant or nursing.
