I hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving as much as I do. Our annual family gathering measures in the high thirties, maybe even forty by now. Since marrying into this family I have seen exponential growth, a clan sized population boom. With so much fun and family mixing for a few days, there always are those little incidents that do not remind one of a Hallmark moment. Details differ, but let’s just admit that some of the time these family gatherings also gather old angst. Sitting here in my office, I couldn’t help wondering if I was carrying any of that old angst when I spotted the white sage bundle near my desk.
Is there negative energy floating around my office? I don’t feel any, but why not let the sage tell me? My brother in Colorado keeps me with a steady supply of sage wands, as they are hard to come by in Virginia. What comes next is an honest experiment, and be aware I have something at risk doing this online. Once I light the sage wand, it cannot be extinguished, it must be allowed to smoke as needed to negate positive ions and other bad vibes. So if the wand produces a lot of smoke? Then I guess I was carrying some bad vibes, maybe?
The sage is lit and the room is smudging as a column of smoke rises from the sage wand; a thin light stream, a good sign. I am sitting here watching and honestly wondering how much smoke will be needed to clear my aura. My interest is keen, and as we wait, let’s admit that no one can get under your skin like those that know you best, especially if related. So instead of wondering, I asked the sage to reveal the negative vibes around me. And as I write these words, the fire is out! Only a small quarter of an inch burned, not even to the first wrapping. My office is cleared and there wasn’t much here, and that is good to know!
To be honest, it is about time that I did some redecorating in my office. I have had the same office furniture for a few years now so I might invest in a new office chair and a new desk. What do you think? A friend of mine has also suggested that I should get some storage boxes. There is so much clutter in my office at the moment, the entire room is in desperate need of decluttering! Feel free to share any office decluttering tips in the comments below as I would love to hear them.
That being said, herbs are such useful plants. They can be used for so many different things. Right here, I settled a question that had been nagging me for days, if my aura is clear then my intentions must be good also, and anything that may or may not have happened over the holiday certainly was not of my doing. I have never seen ” conscious cleaning” as a property listed for white sage, but I just proved it works for that too! So, if there is some unresolved dispute still lingering, no matter how small. Ask the sage to reveal the vibes around you; just do it in private in case you burn the whole sage wand! Herbs are amazing plants; I seem to find new uses all the time.
