How to Use an Abalone Shell for Cleansing
- Ventilation: Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Open doors and windows if necessary. This allows negative energies to exit your space and provides essential ventilation, preventing smoke from becoming overwhelming.
- Gather Materials: You’ll need an abalone shell, sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs, matches or lighter, and a feather.
- Set Intention: Before starting, set a clear intention for your cleansing ritual.
- Light the Herbs: Light the sage and palo santo, then place them in the abalone shell.
- Direct the Smoke: Use the feather to direct the smoke around the space, object, or person you are cleansing.
- Focus on Areas: Pay special attention to corners, doorways, and areas where energy tends to stagnate.
- Extinguish Safely: Once done, extinguish the sage and palo santo safely in the shell.
