Learn about the plants that help to clean our spaces because right now, you do not know how much peace you will experience. I am going to show you how to get to know these wonderful plants, and which one you will like according to what you will need to achieve tranquility and peace.
What do you need to sahumar?
Before knowing which plants you are going to use, and how to use them, you must know the instruments to be able to do a very good clean. The first thing you need is an incense burner, a bowl where you can deposit the dried herbs to set them on fire and safely give off their pleasant smoke. And the coals, the most recommended are the vegetables, round and flat. You have to confirm that they are not damp. Well, the coals that work perfectly are those that are free of moisture. So the plants that you burn with coal will do it slowly and safely.
These elements can be obtained in santerías stores or stores where they sell esoteric things. There are also web portals where you can find supplies and guidance in the use of these cleanses with sacred plants. Normally, either in a physical store or a web portal, you can find people who can guide you when carrying out a clean, they are usually very friendly and understandable people. Cheer up!
Why is it important to clean?
Emotional health is important, although it is important to worry about our physical state, the link and connection between physical and emotional is a plane that converges and does not deserve to be separated. Well, emotions are those that dominate our state of mind, and sensations are those that can predispose us to attract disease. I explain it more clearly, if we are in a very bad mood, down, sad or worried, normally we are going to be prone to diseases, such as low back pain, headaches, heaviness of the body, and sensitivity to immune diseases.
You have heard that our body is a temple where all our energy is internalized, and from there we can project that energy to the rest. But what happens when our energy is negative or not good. That is what you project, what you give. So, if you want to change that negative plane, you must perform cleanses to start over, cleanse your energy, clarify yourself and project the good. We must be light, even when we do not know in what way. The important thing is to start small and this is one of them.
Steps to clean your home and attract good energy
1. Have a clear intention
When you start the incense, you must be clear that this is an ancestral rite, therefore you must have an intention. Spiritual or energetic cleansing is a rite where smoke is used as purification. So your intention has to be very sincere and clear. It is the starting point to start the clean, and you are going to meditate on it in a calm and relaxed way so that you can lower the levels of stress and tension that usually make your head and body feel heavy in your home. If you are looking for that peace of mind you must focus and be calm, at the moment of spiritual cleansing you must be with your whole being at peace. As advice, you can repeat your intention in the form of a mantra, repeat it slowly about eleven times, for example: “I wish for peace and harmony in me and my home.” Wish it beautifully and with love. For all the good in what you’re doing.
