The sage plant is considered sacred by many Native American Indians, due to its effective purifying energies. Heals by restoring balance to the patient and cleanses the body and mind of negative spirits and impurities. When dried, sage is a traditional choice for burning and smearing in cleansing rituals. Almost anyone who wants to ease their worries, open their mind, clear negative thoughts and feelings, harmonize the body, and de-stress the spirit can perform a staining ceremony. It is often used when a person is facing a personal difficulty, when they seem to have had bad luck, before a major transition, moving into a new home, with a new baby, or after great emotional difficulty. In a sense, every time a person feels "unbalanced" or unlucky.
Prepare this spiritual bath by soaking the herbs in boiling water for 10 minutes, strain the mixture, allow the liquid to cool, and pour it over the body while standing in a wash tub.
