Meanwhile - here are some cleansing tips for you to try:
Smudging and clearing your body and living space of negative energies are important practices right now. See below for several techniques that are easy, effective, and use common items you may already have on hand.

Cleansing can be done with sage, incense sticks, salt, palo santo and even the herbs in your kitchen. You can make an herbal spray by combining rosemary, parsley and thyme (see detailed instructions below). The goal is to dissipate negative energy and invite in positive energy. If you are able to, you should open your windows while you're doing this, walking from room to room, asking all negativity to leave.

What matters the most is setting your intention. Say out loud that only positive, happy, healthy energy is allowed in your space. Keep your heart open and your mind strong while you usher out unhealthy, blocked energy and allow only healthy, flowing energy to stay.

While we are open fewer hours than normal due to the COVID-19 Illinois mandate, we are still here for you. Reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram or by sending an email to laura@crystal-life.com. Take care and stay healthy!
Smudging with Sage, Incense or Palo Santo

Humans have the potential to be very sensitive to various energies. When an environment is in discord, we can certainly sense it.

There are a million ways to balance energy, but one of the most simple and well known is burning sage. The Native Americans have used this practice for many generations, long before the science behind sage was discovered. Burning White Sage, or smudging, releases a negative ion which attaches to positively charged free radicals therefore purifying the air. On a physical level, this removes things like allergens and dust.

Energetically, smudging neutralizes patches of negativity. Many people end the clearing process with just burning sage. However, it is wise to replace this emptied space with a positive energy.

You can use various kinds of incense, or use a crystal grid to fill the space with a specific energy. As an alternative to Sage, burning Palo Santo wood both removes negative energy from a space and replaces it with a positive frequency.

Smudging Procedure (Room/House):

  • If smudging an entire house, start in the basement or the lowest level.
  • It’s a good idea to make sure all doors and windows are open.
  • Light a smudge stick so that it burns like an incense stick would, and carry it in a bowl or abalone shell.
  • Start in a corner and use a feather or your hand to waft the smoke up and down the corner of the room.
  • Start to make your way around the room in a clock-wise direction.
  • If you come across a window or doorway be sure to make a complete clockwise circle around it before continuing.
  • Repeat these steps for every corner and window/doorway.
Using Herbs To Create A Cleansing Spray

The herbs in your kitchen can be used for more than adding flavor to your cooking. Known for ages as medicinal healers, you can use these herbs to create a smokeless smudging spray. You can use Rosemary, Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Basil, and Cinnamon in any combination. If you have essential oils, you can use those instead. Use filtered water or vinegar if you'd like to use this more as a daily cleaner.

Smokeless Smudge Spray

  • Quickly simmer all of your dried or fresh herbs together in a pot of filtered water, letting them boil for only two or three minutes. Let them cool completely.
  • When cooled, pour the contents of the pot into a spray bottle. Glass is best but plastic is fine as well.
  • At this point you can add a drop or two of your choice of essential oils. Lavender, Eucalyptus and Pine are especially helpful. If you don't have essential oils, skip this step.
  • If you would like to use this as a daily cleaner, add a small amount of vinegar.
  • You can use this spray on appropriate surfaces and in the air.
  • Follow the same directions above as far as setting your intention, opening windows and asking negativity to leave.
Use Salt To Get Rid of Negative Energy

We all love salt (at least, I do) in our food. Recently there has been an upward trend of spending time in a "salt cave" to detox and destress. This is for good reason! Salt, taken in small amounts, not only helps our bodies function well but it can also pull out toxins from our muscles and skin, helping us feel healthier. Salt lamps emit positive ions and reduce bacteria in the air. Perhaps lesser well known is that salt can also absorb the negative energy in any space. You can use black sea salt, Himalayan sea salt, or just plain table salt. Choose a small bowl, it can be fancy or a small plastic container, see how you feel about it. Put some salt in a bowl, mix it with your fingers and speak your intentions. Something like "let this salt absorb all of the negative energy in my home" will do. Place one bowl in a corner in each of your rooms. If you have several rooms, you can do one at a time. Be aware of these bowls of salt, when you walk into the room, thank them for taking away all of the bad energy. Let these bowls sit for 24 - 48 hours, then discard the salt into the garbage. Don't eat this salt, it is full of negativity! That's it! You can do this as often as it feels you need to.
