TRIO | Sage, Yerba Santa & Juniper

Using an abalone shell dish to burn an energy cleansing stick adds an extra layer of beauty and tradition to your spiritual practice. Here's how you can do it:

• Prepare Your Space: Find a quiet and well-ventilated area where you can perform your energy cleansing ritual comfortably. Place the abalone shell dish on a stable surface, such as a table or altar, and ensure it's clear of any flammable materials.

• Gather Your Materials: Along with the abalone shell dish, gather your energy cleansing stick (such as sage, palo santo, juniper, yerba santa or cedar), matches or a lighter, and any additional items you may want for your ritual, such as crystals or incense.

• Light the Stick: Hold one end of the energy cleansing stick over the flame of the match or lighter until it catches fire. Allow the flame to burn for a few moments, then gently blow it out, allowing the stick to smoulder and release fragrant smoke.

• Place the Stick in the Abalone Shell: Carefully place the burning end of the energy cleansing stick in the centre of the abalone shell dish. The shell provides a heat-resistant surface to catch any ashes or embers that may fall from the stick.

• Fan the Smoke: Use a feather, your hand, or a small fan to gently waft the fragrant smoke from the burning stick around your space. Focus on areas where you feel stagnant or negative energy, visualising the smoke clearing away any unwanted vibes and inviting in positive energy and blessings.

• Set Your Intentions: As you perform your energy cleansing ritual, set your intentions for what you wish to release or invite into your life. You can silently affirm your intentions or recite prayers or mantras that resonate with you.

• Extinguish the Stick: Once you've finished cleansing your space, carefully extinguish the energy cleansing stick by pressing the burning end into the abalone shell dish or snuffing it out in a bowl of sand or water. Allow the stick to cool completely before disposing of it properly.

• Express Gratitude: Take a moment to express gratitude for the cleansing and healing energy you've invoked during your ritual. Thank the earth, the elements, and any spiritual guides or higher powers you may believe in for their support and guidance.
