Sweet Grass braids
Smudge for Psychological safety (Feminine energy smudge)



Description

Sweetgrass is the hair of mother earth. Its beauty is in its simplicity. We grow and braid our own sweetgrass to ensure no chemicals or impurities are on the grass itself. The three strands of the braid represent mind, body, and spirit. When braiding the sweetgrass we work without negative emotions in our hearts to ensure good loving spiritual practices. Using our traditional teachings while braiding the grass we pray over each braid to give people good positive energy. This in turn brings in beneficial spirits to help with healing of the mind, body and spirit. The smoke purifies thoughts and provides physiological protection from negative outside influence. Sweetgrass has a rough texture on one side and a smooth shiny on the other side. The grass itself grows slightly bowed, showing its shiny side to the Creator.

When smudging Sweetgrass you experience positive feelings about your life, about the job you do, where and how you do it and with the people you work with. Working free of fear, proud of contributing and accomplishing. Removing negative emotions and feelings like feelings of hopelessness, instill fear of retribution and extinguish creativity and exuberance.

Sweetgrass can also be brewed into tea which contains coumarin, which has blood-thinning properties, making it helpful in reducing edema, or swelling. However, coumarin in larger doses can be carcinogenic, so consult with a doctor or herbalist if you’re interested in using it medicinally. It is also good for sore throats, coughs and skin chaffing like chapped lips.

The braided sweetgrass is simple to use just light one end on fire waiving it around to get it to have a good smoke. Allow the smoke to billow while praying to the invited spirits. Once finished you can lay it in a smudge container that will help it go out and ensure nothing else is ignited. You can use the same braid until it is finished.
