Burn the Sage and cleanse your space and surroundings to experience tranquility, manifest an energetic abundance of positive waves around you, and drive out negative energy.

The smoke is used to bless, cleanse, heal and wash away negative influence from the person, place or object it is directed at and around. A wonderful start your sacred ceremony.

To burn the sage, hold the stick at a 45-degree angle, light it using your match or candle, and let it burn for about 20 seconds. After that, gently blow out the flame so you see orange embers on one end. The smoke should now billow up.  Place in a heat resistant dish like a shell or walk with it carefully around your space making sure not to drop any embers.  

To extinguish your sage, press the burning tip firmly into your fireproof vessel, dirt, or sand until the smoke no longer rises.  Don't get it wet! Don't use water to extinguish the hot embers—it will ruin the tip of the stick and make it harder to light next time.
