How to burn it

1. Hold the stick at a 45-degree angle and light the tip with a match or candle.
2. Let it catch for about 20 seconds, then gently blow out the flame so the tip glows.
3. Let the smoke rise around you or move it slowly through the room. The petals may crackle a little as they burn.
4. To finish, press the tip into a heat-proof dish of sand or soil until it stops smoking.

Safety: Burn over a heat-proof dish in a well-ventilated room, keep away from children and pets, and never leave it unattended. Petals burn faster than sage leaves, so keep the stick over the dish while it is lit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 7 chakra sage stick?

It is a white sage smudge stick wrapped in petals in the seven chakra colours. The sage gives the smoke; the coloured petals represent the seven chakras of yogic tradition.

What are the seven chakras?

In yogic tradition, the seven chakras are energy centres along the spine: Muladhara (root), Svadhisthana (sacral), Manipura (solar plexus), Anahata (heart), Vishuddha (throat), Ajna (third eye) and Sahasrara (crown).

How is it different from plain white sage?

The sage inside is the same. The petal wrap adds colour and a soft floral note to the smoke, which is why many choose it for meditation spaces and as a gift. For a plain bundle, see our White California Sage.

How long does one stick last?

Burned for a few minutes at a time and then put out, one stick lasts for several sessions.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. Its colours make it a popular gift for anyone who practises yoga or meditation, or who keeps a home altar.
