One of the biggest questions I get asked is how to properly use my sticks or what the meanings of each are. I’m going to keep you guys updated on this page with meanings, benefits and eventually photos of each stick so you can properly manifest and meditate on what you fully desire. Feel free to leave your questions in the comment section.
Why should I burn sage or other plants?
There are a few reasons why you should take some time to do a healing or spiritual cleanse for yourself or your sacred space. When burned, the smoke of certain plants are said to rid negative energy, cleanse spiritually, banish spirits, invite protection. For those of you that don’t need any spirituality in your life, at least these plants are great for getting rid bacteria and more.
Where is your sage and other ingredients from?
All my smudge sticks that are blended with flowers are made in-house by myself or my father… we both agree that it’s truly a sacred and therapeutic process! For these sticks, we only source ingredients from local or small-scale farms. As for my other items, one of my main priorities as a super, small, shop owner is to make sure that our products are produced under fair, legal and most importantly, safe and humane working conditions. When sourcing any of my inventory, I only support small businesses like my own – small, family owned farms in parts of Mexico where my family originates and the United States. When you support my small business… all your support trickles out – from you, to me and to other individual suppliers, farmers, artisans and creators like myself.
How Do I Properly Use A Cleansing Stick?
Burn the side with less stems until you get a good smoke going. Wave the smoke over yourself, an object or a person to cleanse. Use your feather to control the smoke to areas that need cleansing. Trace your doorways with the smoke to rid negativity from entering or let it burn in a dish then take a deep breathe & let these natural tools take over during your meditation, ritual or prayer. Keep the string in tact & re-tie when necessary. Always burn safely & in a well ventilated room. Use each stick with intention, purpose & manifest your desires for best results. Put some sand in a jar or use my abalone shell dish to put out your stick naturally and respectfully. For more tips on other items, like my incense sticks, read below!
