3 Keys to Smoke 🍃

July 16, 2021

When we burn natural elements such as plants, resins or wood with an intention or purpose, we are burning our spaces or ourselves. This small ritual combines the physical with the spiritual, since it includes the material with the natural elements and our energy as a thought or desire.

This is not a new technique, but it began in the ancient tribes, where different herbs were mixed to burn them and use their smoke as a sacred element. Currently, we use incense to clean, purify or energetically charge a space according to our purpose.

It is very important to be clear about the intention with which we are going to smoke, since according to the purpose we will choose some herbs or others. Incense sticks accompany you in the pursuit of your goals, but for this it is key that there are no bad energies in the space that can block the entry of new vibrations.

How to smoke?

Use a candle or matches to light your incense. Leave it on for a couple of minutes and blow to turn it off. The first smoke that comes off make it go outside. Then spread the smoke that the herbs give off inside the room. It is important to pay special attention to the points where more stagnant energy can be, such as corners or corners. While doing this little ritual, you can repeat your request out loud to keep your mind focused on it. Once you are done with the space, you can pass the smoke through your body, from top to bottom to purify your aura.

When to smoke?

There are different times when we may need to smoke to loosen or recharge our energies:

When you feel that the environment is tense or you feel discomfort.
When you want to finish or start a new cycle, it can be sentimental, work, etc.
When you make a move.
Before and after meditating or in moments of concentration
When you want to generate favorable vibrations for a specific purpose.
