How Do Herbs Help in Meditation?

The smoke produced by burning herbs calms the nervous system. Smelling the invigorating aroma of the herbs also soothes the emotion, enhances your sense of well-being, and heightens awareness and clarity. All these are necessary when entering into a tranquil state during meditation.

These are the most common herbs that can help you get in the zone:

White sage - For cleansing, healing, and promoting balance and protection. White sage is also a staple herb in yoga practice because it clears out stale energies and raises vibrations. Sweetgrass - Often used with sage and has a light and sweet aroma when burned. Whereas sage removes negative energies, sweetgrass attracts positive energy into the environment. Cedar - It is considered a sacred plant by many cultures used in purifying energies and clearing out negativity. Most importantly, cedar promotes mental clarity, focus, spiritual dedication, and calmness of thoughts. Mugwort - It’s also known for its cleansing properties and is used to drive away negative energies. Mugwort is thought to stimulate dreams when used before bedtime. Lavender - When burned, dried lavender buds produce a light and refreshing fragrance. They’re typically used in meditation rituals aimed at inducing peace, happiness, and a restful sleep. Lavender is used to relieve insomnia, grief, anxiety, and depression.

When Is It Best to Use Herbs When Meditating?

Lighting up your herbs is most helpful when you want to:

• When you’re feeling worried or anxious
• Set a relaxed mood before doing some yoga or starting a project that requires deep work
• Deepen your concentration when meditating
• Recall specific memories better
• Activate your heart chakra
• Relax and unwind
• Send your prayers directly to your Higher Being
• Incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine (lighting an incense helps ground your senses in the present moment)

How To Use Your Herbs

Herb stick

1. Light the end of the herb. Hold it in the flame until the stick is ablaze and a steady stream of smoke is produced.
2. Using a feather or your hand, gently fan the smoke onto your body. Start smoking your head then move downwards. Include the back of your body, reaching behind as best you can.
3. After smoking your whole body, breathe in a little smoke to cleanse your insides.
4. To cleanse your space, hold the stick and walk counterclockwise around the room. Fan the smoke particularly on the corners of the room, where negative energies build up.
5. Once done, crack open a door or window to release the old energy.
6. After finishing the cleanse, place the burned stick in the abalone shell (or bowl). Let it fade completely by itself.

Loose herbs

1. In an abalone shell or bowl, place a handful of sand/small rocks for slippage prevention and heat insulation.
2. Place a charcoal tab on top and light it up. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until a layer of ash forms around the charcoal.
3. Put loose herbs on top. You can use one type of herb or mix different herbs and resin together.
4. Once a stream of smoke is produced, fan the smoke with your hand or a feather in your desired direction.
5. Crack open a door or window to release the old energy and smoke. Resin in particular produces a lot of smoke.
6. Once done, let the burned herbs fade completely by itself.
