There are many uses for Sage. Here are some suggestions.
..FOR PERSONAL CLEANSING:
If your energy is low, or you feel depressed and out of sorts, or if
you have been around negative people in a
negative situation, try cleansing your entire energy field. Have
someone sweep
the smoke over the entire outline of your body, front and back, head
to toe. Don't forget the top of your head and bottom of your feet.
If you don't have someone to do this for you, pass the sage bundle
around your own body covering as much area as you can. Breathe deeply
and calmly while doing this, and you'll notice the difference at once.
..Before
going to bed, try using sage to clean away the physical and emotional
grime and stress of the day. For a peaceful night's
rest, break off a
single leaf, and burn it carefully in your safe container. Be sure
there's no paper around, or anything that can catch fire.
Remember to blow the
flame out at once. You -DON'T-
want the Fire... You -DO- want the Smoke.
..FOR GROUP CLEANSING: If you're in a group where this would be appreciated
and welcomed, this is an excellent practice. First of all, use the
entire bundle to cleanse the room, or the area where you will be.
Be careful
of dropping hot embers if you're inside as they will burn a carpet.
Start at the back of the room, walk along each wall reaching as high
as you
can, and then criss-cross the center of the room letting the smoke
rise at its own pace. As you walk, ask that only positive energy
be present,
and that the group be blessed with experiences for their highest
and best good. Then cleanse each person as they enter the room
as described
above in Personal Cleansing. Ask that they be made peaceful,
and blessed with positive awareness and learning.
..FOR
HOUSE CLEANSING: To
cleanse and bless your house or apartment, again use the entire
bundle to light. Open your front door. Go
to the back
of the house, and cover as much of the room as you can reach.
Be sure to hold the bundle as high as you can. Don't forget the
corners
of
the rooms. Work from the back toward the open door at the front.
Go into
every room, including bathrooms, closets, utility rooms, kitchen....everywhere.
When you get to the front door, say 
"Anything
not here for the highest and best good of those who live here,
be
gone. You are not wanted, and
you are not welcome. This home has been cleansed and blessed." Then
walk out the door, close it, and sage around the door and door
frame. Leave the bundle outside to burn itself out. Make sure
you put it on
dirt, or on something that will not burn.
..FOR HEALTH / SINUS:
Healing properties have been discovered in sage come from antibiotic
agents they have
identified. Some people boil
sage
and drink the water as a tea. Many have found relief in the smoke
for sinus
congestion and pain, and even for migraine headaches. For this
purpose, break off a single leaf, and breathe the smoke through
your nose.
..SOME WORDS OF CAUTION:
Sage burns very hot, and the embers stay hot for a long time. Always
burn
sage in a little metal container,
an
abalone shell, or some type of ceramic or ironstone dish. Put
some clean sand
in the bottom as an insulator, and NEVER use
glass. When you're finished with the sage, cover it with sand
and leave it in
the container you
were
using. When you want to use the bundle again, just shake the
sand off. When you light the sage, let it flame and then blow
the flame out at once. It's the smoke you want - not the fire.
Sage is a truly wonderful gift from Mother
Earth.
