A question we received almost daily is like "cleaning negative energies?" Maybe because we have on the site Pau Santo and White sageand we believe there is something mysterious and powerful in these "tools" of nature for some reason used for centuries to clean bad energy or evil look.
In this post, we will talk about the benefits and how to use the Holy Pau and the white sage consciously and effectively, providing harmony for both the body and the mind.
Pau Santo: What is it for and how does it work?
THE Pau Santo has been a bestseller in store, since the day that has been available!
Your smoke and smell seems to help dissipate negativity and make a breath of well-being. It has been used for centuries by Amazonian civilizations to ward off bad energies. I use it for two reasons:
1 - Because I like to do home cleaning and the energy is something I feel a lot. When there are discussions, some heavier problem or someone who has passed here with that "bad vibe."
2 - Because I like the sweet smell and the "clean" that the house is, after burning the blessed stick! Unlike incense, Pau Santo burns slowly. This way you can use it very often and it is not that intense smell. This is softer and more subtle.
Properties of Pau Santo
The smell that the Pau Santo emits is the essential oil that contains - the "life force" of the tree. Como todos os óleos essenciais, o pau santo contém dúzias, se não centenas, de constituintes químicos que são estudados pelas suas propriedades únicas curativas e regeneradoras. Quando inalamos esses componentes, o sistema nervoso assimila e reage - enviando sinais para os lugares do corpo que precisam de recuperação.
The essential oil of Pau Santo tem benefícios que passam pelo alívio de sintomas de alergias, afasta mosquitos, combate os radicais livres, alivia o stress e a ansiedade, promove um sono reparador, alivia náuseas e até reduz a dor e inflamação. So the relaxed feeling with which I feel after using Pau Santo.
Start your own ritual
The next time you want to clean the energies of your home or that it smells the fresh:
- Stop and think a little about what you want. Clean energy? Maybe a particular corner of the house?
- Take a holy stick and light up, always carefully. Use a phosphorus preferably or a candle. There are some rules and one of them should use natural fire, so lighter and stove should not be the first choice.
- The Santo Pau will start to be with flame and it will quickly go out. Let this process happen by itself. When the smoke is just going out, the "work" begins. I like to start with me. I step from the bottom up, and a little all around. Até ajudo com a outra mão para passar o fumo por cima de mim quase com se estivesse a sacudir migalhas de cima do corpo (por exemplo, do ombro pelo braço até a mão).
- Then advance to the house. I start with the gateway and follow the route, entering each space and making the songs all of it. Pay special attention to doors and windows. Quando faço nos miúdos, faço o mesmo que fiz a mim, mas como eles tem menos paciência e acham que sou um pouco “estranha”, dou só uma volta por cima da cabeça de cada com Pau Santo.
White Sage: What is it for and how does it work?
THE White sage It is one of the most commonly used natural herbs to face because its benefits are immense. It is believed that it improves the quality of sleep, mood and air and that it removes everything that is negative. Practice dates back to South America's indigenous civilizations.
How to use?
Here we use it at the entrance of each season or at more "heavy" moments in both the company and at home. É algo que deveríamos fazer ao mudar das estações ou, sempre que se sentir com ansiedade ou que a vida não está a correr bem como planeamos ou está uma verdadeira confusão.
- Open the windows (or doors) of the space you want to "clean" so that the smoke that carries the bad energies can come out. I like to open all the cabinet doors too. Oh, and everything must be tidy - it doesn't make a lot of sense to clean a disorganized space, because no?!
- Start with the "entrance" - it may be the gateway to your home, or office, or if you are just cleaning a space, the entrance to it.
- Have a bowl of ceramic nearby (to drop any sparkles not spoil anything).
- Light the sage carefully - it is not to burn like a torch, but to burn slightly freeing smoke.
- Start with you: hold sage near your heart and then move it around your body. Very important to clean the top of your head, back and soles.
- Then, in the space, start from the entrance and go forward all the spaces on your left side until you get the full return and reach the starting point - think of the clock, you want to cover all the spaces of your home always towards the clock.
- Pass the smoke through all the zones, do not forget around the windows and doors. Inside cabinets, over the heads of your children (or colleagues). Fill the spaces slowly with the smoke. It is very important that you always do all this with a good intention in mind - it does not result if you are not using your whole spirit in the ritual.
Do not erase sage, According to ancient beliefs, it has a "spirit" and knows when to go out to clean a division conveniently. If the sage torch goes out, do not rekindle it again in this division. You don't have to always be going through your home with the sage torch in your hand, put it in a burner that is suitable for this purpose and let it burn for itself. It is natural to note that, from time to time, smoke moves to some special corner of the division - that is where it is necessary to do a deeper cleaning ...
That's why you never delete it with water, because then you can't use it again.
These rituals bring us A FEEL OF UNIQUE PEACE. It is a time when we dedicate ourselves and our favorite spaces, in absolute silence. When I do it at the end of the day, I love to drink a Detox or one Calm, because I feel that they help me rest better and keep the serene state that the ritual brings me. I hope you try and feel as well as me!
We hope you enjoy, if you have any questions, do not hesitate! Now you can leave comments in this post 🤍
