What is a smudge spray?

Smudging is an old technique that is used to cleanse, protect, and expel negative energy. Cast of Stones Smudge Spray, inspired by this ancient ritual, is a smoke-free alternative to traditional smudging, created to provide the same benefits without the smoke and ash.

How do I rid my home of negative energy?

Place sea salt in a container or on the floor in all four corners of the room. Allow it to absorb the negativity for 1-2 days before discarding the salt. Salt is a natural disinfectant. Sound vibrations are a highly effective approach to clear a room's energy and enhance its energetic vibration.

What herbs are used for cleansing?

Cleaning is all the rage when it comes to our homes. But what exactly is “cleansing”? Cleaning a space (not to be confused with good, old-fashioned cleaning) is an excellent method to start a new home, apartment, office, or office with new energy, or to improve the general atmosphere in a space—for those who value such things. Having stagnant energy in a location, on the other hand, might make you feel anxious, weary, and angry.

You might consider purifying a room while trying to overcome a harmful habit, after a rough recovery, or after a break-up, not only for that new property you bought for an oddly below-market price.

It's also vital to consider what you want to bring into a room rather than what you want to remove. Knowing what kind of energy you want to create in your area (protection, stress alleviation, grounding, etc.) will aid you in selecting the correct tools—or “ingredients”—for your practice. For all of your space-cleaning needs, check out the list below for techniques and inspiration.

To be clear, many components of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American culture have been incorporated into new age activities. We recommend reading Occult America if you want to learn more about how these rituals inspired modern mysticism. If you want to go deeper into any of these rituals, we recommend doing so with the permission and guidance of someone who is knowledgeable about the culture's history and customs.

Incense and herbs

Smudging, or the ritual of burning herbs or incense, has roots in some of the world's oldest societies and spiritual rituals.

Although sage bundles are the most common smudging item (with these practices dating back to some indigenous civilizations in the United States), any herb with medicinal characteristics, such as bay leaf, lavender, or lemongrass, would suffice. Most smudging practitioners begin by meditating; the idea is to be calm and present in your surroundings. Light your smudging instrument of choice when you're ready, bearing in mind that it should be lightly smoldering rather than totally consumed in flames.

Walk around each room that needs to be cleansed as your stick or bundle burns. With the smoke, trace entrances, dark nooks, and window frames. Use this time to mentally imbue the room with your good intentions and positive thoughts. Due to concerns about overharvesting of white sage, we recommend dried cedar or lavender, incense, resin, or palo santo as replacements.

In terms of sustainability, Wintner believes that we are all personally responsible for what we consume. “The greatest approach to monitor consumption is to be a responsible consumer,” she says, “so do your research before buying anything, just like you should with anything else.” If you don't have access to a stick or bundle, you can smudge by burning herbs in a flame-resistant dish or shell.

Crystals

Different therapeutic powers are connected with different crystals. Amethyst, for example, is supposed to offer calming and protecting powers and to absorb bad energy like a sponge. Amethyst crystals can be placed on a mantel or in a central location in a home to purify as much of the space as possible.

Selenite is commonly placed on window sills to bring extra light into the home and is claimed to circulate positive vibrations and a sense of tranquility. When in doubt, chuck a black or dark-hued stone into the room that needs a good energy cleansing. Believers revere black tourmaline, onyx, hematite, and smokey quartz for their abilities to protect, ground, and cleanse.

Crystals need to be cleansed every now and then since they tend to cling on to the energy they absorb. You can clean your stones in a variety of methods, including soaking them in salt water (more on salt later), bathing them in moonlight, or smudging them (see above). Or, if you're like me, a few weeks of Swiffer action will suffice. “Home blessings, travel protection, and keeping energy balanced and aligned in a room,” Bakara says about amethyst.

Essential oils

If lighting a bundle of dry herbs on fire isn't your thing, make an essential oil blend instead. Room sprays, reed diffusers, and aromatherapy humidifiers are all fantastic options (we see you Muji).

When it comes to oils, there are limitless options—and even more combinations—as there are with the herbs used in smudging. Lavender essential oil is widely available and well-known for its calming and de-stressing properties. Lemon, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils are also purifying and energizing.

To produce a room spray, fill a spritz container halfway with water and add a few drops of an essential oil blend. If you want to go all out, add a pinch of Himalayan sea salt to the mix, which is also recognized for its energy-cleansing effects. The same room- and aura-cleansing advantages can be obtained by burning candles prepared with essential oils. To determine what works best for you and your environment, experiment with different combinations of oils, herbs, and procedures. Wintner's favorite scents are “earthy and grounding,” and she recommends diffusing “frankincense, ylang ylang, vetiver, and cedarwood.”

*Before using essential oils into your home or self-care routine, please check your doctor. Some oils are potentially dangerous to pregnant women and can irritate certain medical problems.

High-frequency sounds

Sound waves can also help to detoxify an environment. The appropriate music can dust away the proverbial cobwebs, just like your favorite song may quickly put you in a good mood.

Sound cleansing techniques range from as basic as ringing a bell or using tuning forks to contemplative singing bowl practices. If you're not ready to buy an instrument yet, YouTube has a lot of possibilities; try searching for nature sounds, Gregorian or Buddhist chants, solfeggio tones, or Tibetan singing bowls.

Regardless of which technique you pick, the goal is to have the sound's vibrations and resonance force out any bad juju. These high-frequency noises are said to have chakra-cleansing characteristics in addition to being healthy for your space. Sound baths are becoming increasingly popular, so this could be a good duel-cleansing approach to explore.

Wintner claims that she uses sound to cleanse herself in her own rituals “Heal” her vitality. “I occasionally use a singing bowl, but sound healing is also music. Healing is always available through all five senses. So, if you chose to listen to Ariana Grande while cleaning your house ritualistically, that's what your brain will heal to—and more power to you.”

Salt

Another burgeoning wellness fad is salt treatment, or the application of salt to the skin “The practice of meditating in a room filled with Himalayan sea salt is known as halotherapy. This technique is associated with a number of health benefits, but it is most known for its ability to reduce inflammation, enhance respiratory function, relieve stress, and promote tranquility.

Before you turn your spare closet into a salt chamber, there are a few simple methods to reap the advantages of this ancient technique in your own house. Himalayan salt lamps are a popular and easy-to-find home addition that have the same cleansing properties as Himalayan salt lamps but on a smaller scale.

These lamps have three functions: they filter negative energy, electromagnetic radiation (the energy emitted by modern technology), and air toxins. Sprinkle or set bowls of salt in the corners of rooms that need energy cleansing if you want to get a bit witchy with your salt. The salt will absorb any bad energy or poisons, and you can vacuum it up or chuck it out after a few hours. Houseplants can also be used as a natural cleaning, but please don't discard them after only one use.

With a grain of (pink Himalayan) salt, these strategies should bring you and your place joy. Smudging, sound, and crystals can all be beneficial, but you will have the most impact on the energy of your place.

Although it may feel like magic, Wintner understands that your positive attitude, headspace, and wellbeing are far more powerful than any of these cleansing rituals. “Rest. Embarrassing television. Food. Comfort. Friendship. Laughter. Work that you are passionate about and believe is meaningful. The difficult part is magic. “What fills us up is life.”

How do you make Sage Room spray?

• Fill the bottle with hot (not boiling) water (make sure it's a glass bottle).
• To release the oils, ruffle or break up the sage leaves before adding them to the hot water in the bottle.
• Place the bottle somewhere cool and dark. Allow the sage to soak in the vinegar mixture overnight (or at least 12 hours).
• After the solution has reached room temperature, add sage essential oil and/or Palo Santo essential oil (both noted for their energy cleansing effects). (This can be done either before or after the sage has steeped in a cool, dark room.)

How do you make a ground spray?

Plants fascinate me! Plants have great therapeutic powers, from essential oils to flower essences, tonics and elixirs, tinctures and dry herbs. I'm also a big fan of doTerra essential oils, and I'm constantly adding to my collection. Taking things to the next level, as I often do, I produced my own spiritual blend spray, which I use as part of my daily grounding routine on my clean feet. It can also be sprayed into the air to purify it.

It's quite easy for me to become disoriented in my own thoughts and mental faculties. It's easy to get caught up in my brain when it comes to running a business, making daily decisions, and building a company that I enjoy. It's vital to set aside a few minutes each day to practice being heart-centered and grounded in the land. I've tapped into the ancient wisdom of these incredibly grounding plants and trees to create this grounding blend.

HOW TO PREPARE

Fill your spray bottle halfway with distilled water and add 1-3 drops of each essential oil, depending on your intuition. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water once you've added your oils, leaving a little gap for the spray to go in without overflowing. Shake well and apply on the soles of your feet before spraying in the air. To be honest, many of these oils have skin advantages, so if you're feeling brave, spritz it on your face as well; it's a FACE AND FEET spray. It has an earthy scent, so enjoy it!

How do you make essential oils?

Steam distillation is the most common method for making essential oils at home, and it may be done in a crockpot or in a still. You can buy a nice still built of non-reactive metals and glass for a few hundred dollars, or you can make your own for a few hundred dollars. Boiling the herbs and plants until the essential oils separate from the plant and float on the water is how steam distillation works. The oil can be collected from the water's surface and stored in an amber or blue glass bottle. Because this process of collecting essential oils does not yield a pure, unadulterated essential oil, the oil's medicinal properties may be diminished.

Oils are extracted by squeezing plant material, flowers, or fruits. This process for making essential oils is primarily utilized for citrus oils. Citrus peels are placed in a commercial press and squeezed slowly to extract the volatile oils. Because they are a byproduct of the citrus agricultural business and are relatively inexpensive, these oils are widely available in most natural foods stores. Invest in an excellent press and filtration system if you want to produce your own.

Solvent Expression – This process of making essential oils is mainly only used for commercial purposes. It necessitates the employment of several extremely toxic chemical solvents. This is not a good idea if you're just starting out with essential oils. It necessitates the careful handling and application of several commercial grade solvents, which can cause harm or death if not handled properly, and should always be used in well-ventilated settings.
