I do use white sage, a lot! A buddy once told me that it is a great way to bless things. I took his word for it and have been using it since.  I have become somewhat ritualistic about how I burn the sage - before, during, and after the extraction process; and before, during, and after a smoking session. I say a little prayer while blowing the sage smoke at whatever I want good energy flowing through: "to be aware is to be free, to be focused is to be here, to be strong we must love, we heal everything."  Seems to work, for me.

Now my friends are starting to add it to their journeys, too. Lol. I guess some things become contagious among pals.
