Ritual, simply put, is a way to either make or mark meaning. Almost anything could become a ritual, for what makes it a ritual is what we put into it. Our careful mindfulness, intentions, and actions create something sacred.

Both our Lavender Bergamot and Floral Bouquet Ritual Room Sprays can be used to:

• Cleanse a room, item, or person, similar to smoke cleansing

• Signify the beginning or ending of a ritual, similar to lighting and extinguishing a candle

• To promote relaxation for meditation, ancestral or other spiritual work

• To promote deep, restful sleep

• To freshen a room or linens

• To purify the air

• Essential oils, especially lavender, have antimicrobial properties, among many other benefits. Their use as medicine and more can be traced back as far as the twelfth century, though likely it began far longer ago than that

Optional Items:

1. To waft the room spray you may use these or similar: paper fan; handbroom; fresh or dried herb, flower, or leaf bundle; large feather or feathers

Ritual Instructions: 

• Choose an intention for your ritual

• Suggestions: To honor or mark an occasion or milestone; to clear or focus your mind; to prepare for meditation; to relax the body and mind; to encourage restful sleep; to bring something in or push something out (of your space, mind, or life); to care for yourself, others, your space

• Clear your mind and speak (or think) your intention to begin with a culturally significant phrase, or simply:

• Speak (or think) your intentions, such as:

• I purify this space

• May this aroma cleanse/protect/reveal ___

• I call in ___

• Shake Ritual Room Spray well, lift to about eye level and spritz away from yourself 1-3 times 

• Using your hand or another item, waft the air away from yourself and out into the room

• Walk around the space repeating this step 3-5, depending on space

• Visualize the mist and aroma filling this space and fulfilling your intention 

• Begin the guided meditation (if not started already)

• After the guided meditation, or when your ritual is complete:

• Close any workings you have added, such as blowing out a candle, turning off music, etc.
