Sage, known since ancient times for its healing and purifying properties, is often used in energy cleansing and spiritual rituals.
One of the most well-known rituals is placing a few sage leaves under the pillow before sleeping, to improve sleep quality and ward off negative energies that may disturb rest. This ancient practice is still popular in many spiritual and folk traditions around the world today.
🌿 The Ritual of Sage Under the Pillow
Preparation:
Start by obtaining high-quality sage leaves. You can find them in supermarkets, specialty stores, or online. Make sure it’s organic and free from pesticides or chemicals.
Energy Cleansing:
Before bed, create a calm environment in your bedroom. Turn off electronic devices, lights, and any noise sources. Light a stick of dried sage and let it burn for a few moments, then gently blow out the flame, allowing a thin trail of smoke to remain. Walk around your bed, waving the smoking sage to purify the energy in the room and remove negative vibrations.
Preparing the Pillow:
Place a few sage leaves under your pillow or between the sheets near your head. This symbolic gesture helps create a relaxing atmosphere and encourages peaceful sleep.
Intention and Meditation:
Before going to sleep, spend a few minutes meditating or focusing on your intentions for the night. You can visualize a protective shield around you, repelling any negative energy or anxious thoughts. Repeat positive affirmations such as:
“I am safe, I am protected, and I allow myself to have a calm and restful sleep.”
Gratitude:
In the morning, take a moment to thank the sage for helping you sleep better and protecting you from unwanted energies. You can also express gratitude for a new day and the chance to start with positive energy.
