Its been so long...

At 29, I realized today that sweatbands on your wrists are to wipe your forehead not because your wrists get really sweaty.

They’re what now?

thyme might help you, with cleansing as well as respiratory issues

I haven’t heard of using thyme, before. I should give it a try. I was thinking of using sage water with my aromatherapy diffuser. It seems like it would be pretty similar to smudging with smoke/fire.

[the-kaneki-ken]

Please do not use the term smudge or smudging if you're not native.

Excuse me, who are you? Do you know if I am native or not? You don’t know me, nor my race, and you sound stupid. Should I break out my family tree to prove myself to others? That is literally the name of it, and I have never heard of something so dumb. Is religion only for certain races? This is news to me. It is a religious thing. It is a spiritual thing. It has been used throughout many cultures for many years. If you assume I am not a Christian, am I not allowed to say the word crucifixion? It makes no sense. I made a post about bringing positive energy in, and somehow it is turned around? Am I hurting someone by trying to bring in positivity? Take this elsewhere, goodbye.

at your best you still won’t be good enough for the wrong person. at your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right person.

Sage smudging alternatives?

(From any religion/spirituality. Any advice helps!)

Does anyone know some good alternatives to sage? I have been feeling really uncomfortable since my house went under renovations. I have been hearing so many noises. It might just be me, but I would feel so much better if I could have a way to really cleanse the space. I cannot use sage because of bad respiratory issues. Last time I couldn’t breathe and had to stay outside for hours. Therefore, incense bothers me as well. I light white candles often (unscented) to kind of lift up the energy but it just doesn’t seem like enough. So if anyone has some advice and alternatives, I would really appreciate it.

I never smoke cleanse with sage because there are alternatives that allow me to keep breathing. I’d really like the idea to get out into the witch-o-sphere that some people are very sensitive to smoke and perhaps we could cut down on the making smoke in enclosed spaces.

First - just clean the space. Remove clutter, toss the trash, do the dishes. Sweep the floors. Start at the back of the house and sweep toward the front door, sweeping the bad out. Now, mop the floors with a good cleansing floor wash. I’ve found just about any strongly scented lavender, pine or lemon wash will work. Start at the back of the house and mop towards the front door.  For carpets, sprinkle with a mix of lavender and baking soda and vacuum. Empty the bag in a trash can outside. 

Now make holy/lustral water or khernips.The khernips method is fairly simple. You take a bowl of sea water or water that you’ve added salt to and extinguish a burning item in it. I like to throw a burning bay leaf into it. This creates a water that is a mix of all the elements and you sprinkle that around the house to cleanse. 

Make noise. I like to use tingshas which have a nice vibration. You can use bells, singing bowls, loud rock music, your voice. You’re creating vibration to move out the negative. 

Set up an aroma therapy diffuser and use that with frankincense, lavender or another choice of incense. Or simmer a pot of cloves, cinnamon and vanilla on the stove to make things smell nice. (Feel free to improvise with scent here.)

Light a candle to bless the house and bring in good. Now eat something sweet to bring in sweetness. Also because after doing all of this, you need a break.

Added thing: use steam. Depending on the situation for me I’ll either walk around the area with a steaming mug of water and cleansing herbs, and I’ll do a wafting motion away from myself instead of towards me. Depending on the size of the area though, this might not be the best method soooo

OPTION B: I’ll wait for the mug to cool, pour the infusion it’s made into a spray bottle and spray it around the house. With the spray bottle though, don’t keep it for very long. Try to use it all up over the next few days if possible. Refrigeration it my help keep a bit longer, like a few weeks/ maybe a month.

[the-kaneki-ken]

Ah thank you so much for all of this! Its extremely helpful. I have done the cleaning method before. It seems to work the best for me, personally. I really like the khernips method. I’ve never heard of it before. But I have tried plain salt water. and sprayed it around my room. Using steam sounds really good as well. I have an aromatherapy diffuser, but I never thought to use it in that way.  Again, thank you so much! Even though I’ve tried a few of these, I definitely learned how to do them more effectively. 

(Also I’ve read the tags from everyone who’s reblogged. Thank you all so much for your help, advice, and support!!!!)

Kids cry a lot because even a slight discomfort might be “the worst thing they’ve ever felt in their lives”

Please, tell everyone you love them. Doesn't matter who they are to you. Just a friend, a cousin, ex, old friends that you lost touch with, parents, everyone. It's so, so important. Not only does it let that person know that they are loved, and spreads love and positivity, but you never know if you'll never be able to say it again. And you might deeply regret not saying it enough. So don't be afraid to tell someone "I love you". Don't be embarrassed. Let them know you love them.

Look, I’m no supporter of the Kardashians, but I am a supporter of body positivity. I don’t care if you hate Kim. I don’t like her either tbh. But it makes me so angry that people pray upon her insecurities and body shame her, tell her she looks gross, etc. Its disgusting and needs to stop. I am pretty underweight (not by choice) and I have cellulite and stretch marks everywhere. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it! Its natural! Apparently society and news outlets that like to bring others down disagree. Sorry for this mini rant, I know its very unusual for me. But its something that I feel strongly about, coming from a place where I feel ashamed of my body sometimes. And it is absolutely not okay to body shame anyone. I guess the point is, bodies are beautiful. Its okay to have cellulite and stretchmarks, scars, hyper pigmentation, whatever else you might be insecure of. It is normal, and beautiful. And it is never okay to tell someone otherwise, even if you believe differently. Keep that shit to yourself and don’t spread your hatred on to others. Thank you so much of you read all of this. Love yourself, and love each other <3
