White Sage & Rose Petals 7 Chakras Tied 8 to 10 cm.

This bundle of sage is decorated with rose petals of different colors, each symbolizing one of the seven chakras of the human body. It is primarily used in purification rituals.

White Sage
This is a well-known medicinal and aromatic plant: its scientific name is Salvia apiana, from the Latin salvare – to heal. Most of its properties are concentrated in the leaves, which absorb the sun’s energy and produce a large quantity of essential oils.
The Celtic Druids used it to increase their wisdom and during their healing and protection rituals. Many Native American cultures used sage as incense to purify body and spirit.

The Seven Chakras
Located along the spine, the chakras – wheels in Sanskrit – are the energy centers that distribute vital energy throughout the human body. Each chakra, represented within a lotus flower, has a unique function and healing power.

7th – Crown Chakra – Violet – Spirituality and self-knowledge.
6th – Third Eye Chakra – Indigo – Intuition and mental clarity.
5th – Throat Chakra – Blue – Expression and transcendence.
4th – Heart Chakra – Green – Love and compassion.
3rd – Solar Plexus Chakra – Yellow – Personal power and growth.
2nd – Sacral Chakra – Orange – Sensuality and emotions.
1st – Root Chakra – Red – Identity and security.

Recently, Western scientists have verified the correspondence of the chakras with the seven main nerve ganglia that emerge from the spinal column. It is said that when our chakras are open and activated, we lead a balanced and fulfilling life.

Cultivation
Our plants are harvested from both natural areas and cultivated fields. Whatever their origin, the harvesters are legally authorized to do so. The process is simple: they cut the branches and leave the roots to allow for future harvests. Exports are controlled by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), which certifies that all legal and environmental requirements are met.
Plant growth depends on the climate and annual rainfall. The size of the bundles, therefore, can vary from one harvest to another: a difficult season and less abundant harvests result in a smaller bundle. In drought years, the concentration of essential oils is higher.

How to Use the Bundle
The purification ritual is a universal practice.
1. You will need a bundle of dried sage tied with cotton, a feather or fan, and a heat-resistant container to collect the ashes, such as an abalone shell.
2. Light one end of the bundle, preferably with a match. Blow on it to fan the flame and let it burn out. Be careful of sparks! Then place it on top of the shell.
3. Smudging: Bring the smoke close to those participating in the ritual. With the feather, direct the smoke toward each chakra, setting the intention to heal and purify it.
Remember that intention is the foundation of any smudging: if your heart is pure and your desire noble, you will enhance its effects.

Ventilate after use. Do not inhale the smoke directly.
