Why, how, and when we sage our space with Sachin Patel

Hey, my friends, it's Sachin. I trust you're doing amazing. I wanted to cover a video where I'm going to go over why, how and when we sage our space. So to do this, you're going to need three things. You're going to need your favorite sage smudge stick. You're going to need an abalone shell or something that you can use as a smudging bowl. And abalone is a beautiful shell, as you can see, very durable. And in native culture, the combination of sage smudging a sage stick in the abalone shell is believed to get the message to the heavens. Okay, and then the other thing you might have or might want to eventually add to your saging paraphernalia is a feather. So this is a red tail hawk feather. Some people have bird wings. We have some beautiful hawks in our area. And I love that they drop feathers occasionally. So we use those. So why we smudge is probably the first thing to talk about and why we sage the space. And it's really to clear the energy. So we had some guests over last night and we do this regardless of who's over. So it's not based on how we interpret that event or that meeting or that gathering. It has nothing to do with that. It's something that we do across the board because we want to bring the energy of the space back to being as neutral as possible. So that's the first thing. So we do it regardless of who's over, regardless of who's visiting, to bring the energy back to our equilibrium and really neutralize it. It's kind of like imagine a teacher. You've taught this huge lesson and now you're going to erase the chalkboard, right? So that's what we're kind of doing with the energy in our space. We're erasing the chalkboard, if you will. So I'll tell you what I do. And I could be doing this. I'm open to certainly doing it better. So if you're a saging expert, please chime in in the chat. Please let me know however you want to. You want to get a sage stick, you can buy these at Whole Foods. We actually have the chakra sage sticks, which are absolutely beautiful. Maybe I'll give one away for all of you that comment. So if you want to try to win this, let me know. And this has these beautiful flower petals on it that represent all the different colors of the of the chakras and then grab your feather. So what you're going to do is you're going to light this, you're usually going to use a match as opposed to using your stovetop. And you'll light this and you will gently fan it with the feather and you'll see that you really don't. The feathers are pretty cool. You really don't have to fan it that much. And it will start generating the sage smoke. Now what you're going to do is you're going to take your smudging bowl and it's going to catch your ashes and you're going to put. Put it out in there. When you're done, you're going to walk around the room with your feather and with your sage stick. And you're just going to fan all the corners of the room and walk in a clockwise manner in the room. So you're walking into every corner clockwise and you're walking out of the room. And then you're going into the next space walking clockwise and you're setting, you know, just whatever intention you want in there, clearing that energy out. So we do this periodically if we're feeling stagnation in our energy, if we have guests over, family over, friends over, contractors over, whoever comes over afterwards, we clear the chalkboard, clear that energy, and we go through every room in our entire house in order to do that. And you will feel amazing. Certain types of sage, Sativa Divinorum are actually psychedelic in nature, so they can cause temporary psychedelic hallucinations. So this is a sacred plant, and with it you want to set a clearing intention and then reinstall any intention that you want in that space. So I hope that helps. Certainly something that we enjoy doing sets our rebalances, our energy, which I think we could all use right now. So if you haven't saged, go grab one at Whole Foods. Comment below if you want to type in sage, if you want to win one of these. And I'll have my wife Deepa ship one out to you. She just gave me a look. I'll ship it out to you and, and grab a shell or grab some sort of, you know, I don't know what the right word is, but you could grab something that has meaning to you. That is a suitable smudging goal. These shells are great. And then go find a feather. Go for a hike. Find a feather that you could use to fan your sage. All right. Anyways, I gotta run. I'm doing my. One of my favorite things today later on, as soon as I leave here, which is waxing my car. So I'll maybe do a little bit of a Live later. Because to me, this is a form of meditation. And I want to encourage all of you to clear your energy. Do that today. Clear your energy, set some really positive, healthy, meaningful, powerful intentions, and then do something you love. So, believe it or not, I love detailing my cars. And in fact, my brother was over yesterday and I was detailing. Together, we detailed his car. So something I enjoy doing. It's a meditative process. Gives me a quick shot of dopamine because I can start a project and finish it within an hour or two and I have this finished product. So do something you love today, something that excites you, something that inspires you, and something that allows you to have something to show for. I'll do a little bit of a live later on today. Anyways, lots of love. Linda says sage the car. I've never done that before, but maybe that's a good idea. I'll sage the car. How about that? Anyways, lots of love. Hope you're all awesome. Do something you love today and sage your space. Bring in some. Neutralize that energy and set some positive intentions in terms of good energy. All right, bye for now.
