Abundance:

• Positive Energy Attraction: The belief in the blend's ability to attract abundance could be linked to the combination of purification (via white sage) and positive, heart-centered energy (via the flower). This may be intended to create an environment conducive to attracting abundance in various forms.

It's important to note that the specific properties of the "paper flower" would depend on the type of flower used in the smudging blend.

• Care Instructions

  When working with a smudging blend that includes white sage and "paper flower," it's essential to handle the materials with care to ensure a meaningful and safe smudging ritual. Here are general care instructions:

  • Storage:

    • Keep your smudging blend in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
    • Store the blend in an airtight container or a sealed bag to preserve the fragrance and properties of the herbs and flowers.

  • Intent Setting:

    • Before each smudging session, set a clear and positive intention for your ritual. Focus on the specific goals you have for purification, positive energy, and abundance.

  • Safe Burning Practices:

    • Use a heatproof container, such as an abalone shell or ceramic dish, to catch ashes and embers.
    • Ensure that the container is stable and placed on a non-flammable surface.
    • Be cautious of hot embers and ashes during the burning process.

  • Ventilation:

    • Ensure proper ventilation in the space where you're conducting the smudging ritual by opening windows or doors. This allows the smoke to dissipate and carry away negative energy.

  • Extinguishing the Blend:

    • Safely extinguish the smudging blend by pressing the burning end into the heatproof container or using a smudging feather to fan out the flame.
    • Ensure that the blend is fully extinguished before leaving the area.

  • Respectful Disposal:

    • If there are leftover ashes or remnants of the smudging blend, dispose of them respectfully. Some people bury the ashes in the earth, while others may scatter them in a natural setting.

  • Personal Boundaries:

    • Be mindful of personal boundaries when using smudging blends, especially if others are present. Some individuals may be sensitive to the smoke or have respiratory concerns.

  • Cultural Sensitivity:

    • If your smudging blend contains white sage, be aware of the cultural significance and potential issues related to the appropriation of Native American practices. Consider alternatives or ensure that the white sage is sourced responsibly.

  • Personal Cleansing:

    • After the smudging ritual, you might choose to cleanse yourself by washing your hands or taking a shower to remove any residual energy.

  Always approach the use of smudging blends with mindfulness, respect, and intention. The care instructions ensure not only the physical well-being of the practitioner but also contribute to the meaningful and effective nature of the smudging ritual.
