Reset with Rosemary
Rosemary is believed to have purifying and cleansing properties and is frequently used in protection and wisdom rituals and spells. This herb is also associated with memory, purification, love, and healing.
Here are some ways to use rosemary to bring freshness and renewal into your life.
Protection:
Rosemary is thought to have protective energies and is frequently used in rituals to cleanse negative energy. The herb is said to help you overcome negativity and promote peace and stability, allowing you to begin again with a fresh start.
Purification:
Rosemary is also known for its purifying properties, and it can be used (often burned) to balance the energy of a space. Rosemary is thought to help remove any negative or stagnant energy which can help you to clean out the old clutter in your life both physically & metaphorically.
Mental Clarity:
Rosemary is associated with memory and has even been scientifically studied for its “brain power” qualities. It is known to help with concentration, mental stimulation, and memory retention. I like to diffuse rosemary oil while I’m writing, reading, brainstorming, or journaling.
Love & Relationships:
Rosemary can add a sense of new beginnings and refresh the energy in a relationship. It is also thought to attract love, improve existing relationships, and promote understanding and compassion. This can be helpful when moving forward after a breakup or to mend a broken heart.
Healing:
Rosemary also helps with emotional healing. It can reset and rejuvenate your emotional compass by reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and soothing mental/emotional fatigue.
If rosemary is plentiful in your area, make
a rosemary wreath to hang in the home as a symbol of purification and renewal. If
you’re at mercy of what you can source at your grocery store, tie a sprig above
the main doorway into your home. Rosemary can also be burned as incense during
rituals or used to purify a bath. Rosemary oil can be used in anointing oils to
provide protection and blessings. Furthermore, because rosemary has similar
purifying properties to white sage and can be used in cleansing rituals, it is
an excellent substitute for it.
