An Odd Story - Copal Smudge Bundle
Description
Copal is derived from the leaves of the sacred copal tree. When burned, copal is used to cleanse the energy of spaces, places, and objects. It has a light, woody scent that can be compared to pine. One of the best ways to use copal is to burn it to clear away negative energy and promote positive changes. It brings a very cheerful and loving energy that can fill your home with peaceful vibes. Responsibly sourced, copal has been proven to neutralize negative energy, and alleviate anxiety and stress. When burned, the smoke has a restorative effect and brings one back into balance while cleansing the body and mind of negative energies and impurities. Smudging sage has also been known globally to help relieve worry, open the mind, clear negative thoughts and feelings, and decompress the spirit.
Why we love it: Copal is a purification method that can also change or enhance your consciousness.
Additional information
Copal is distinguished from white sage by the smell released when it is burned. Unlike white sage, the smell of copal is similar to pine.
How to Use
Begin the ritual by taking a moment to express your gratitude and set your intention. Next, open the windows to let any stagnant energy out into the world. Light the bundle and let the flame catch for 20 seconds, then gently blow it out, allowing the smoke to rise from the embers. Take the bundle and waft the smoke around yourself and the corners of each room, allowing the purifying smoke to cleanse and refresh the energy. Finally, take the bundle and use it to surround any objects that you feel need a good cleanse, allowing the smoke to penetrate them for 30 seconds. Once you're finished, dispose of the bundle carefully in a ceramic dish or shell. It's essential to avoid extinguishing it with water, which can damage the bundle. Remember, each bundle can last up to 20 uses, so you can enjoy the benefits of this purifying ritual for a long time to come.
