"Sage is an herb that is known for its healing and medicinal properties. People have burned sage since ancient times to cleanse and purify objects and homes. Proponents of sage burning, also known as smudging, believe that the sage smoke is a way to bless your home and dispel it of negative energy and influences."
I purchased some bundles of sage months ago. They've been sitting there taunting me. I think subconsciously I was keeping them as my final trump card. I've prayed, meditated, done yoga, read and prayed some more. I've talked to my higher conscience, my therapist, my spirit guides, my imaginary friends and any insect walking by. I've respected the planets in retrograde and admired the numbers of the stars. What's one more zany thing to do, right? I mean do we really know the whole deal of the universe? Well, I'm not taking any chances.
A day full of positive promise turned sour and I really can't afford any more of those. So out went the fear of lighting a match and so began my smudging. I told the negativity to get the hell out of my space. I spent extra time where needed in hallways and corners. Though my house has an odor somewhere between Thanksgiving and a reggae concert I can be sure that tomorrow will be better than today. If not for the powers of the smoldering bundle of herbs than for the promise I have afforded myself.
