Spices have been a quintessential part of our daily lives, from adding a punch of taste to the delicacies to healing several health issues to spiritually aligning with cosmic energy and bringing in positivity. One such common kitchen spice is cinnamon, which has been traditionally used in ancient cultures to cleanse the aura and ward of negativity and the evil eye. Here’s all you need to know about this potent spice and how burning this spice can attract positivity and good luck.
What makes this spice powerful?According to several ancient cultures and Feng shui principles, cinnamon is a highly revered spice for its purifying and healing properties. In fact, it is believed that burning cinnamon is a simple yet powerful spiritual ritual across cultures to harness positive cosmic energy and dissolve negativity and also works as a remedy to remove the evil eye.
Why cinnamon?Cinnamon is known for its sweet taste, tough texture, and warmth, and this spice has a fiery potency that can help in dissolving negativity and attracting abundance into the house. This ancient practice is rooted in the Chinese traditions and the Feng Shui principles, as it is believed to purify the stagnant chi through its aromatic smoke that helps in fostering harmony and protection. It is believed that doing this ritual regularly may help attract the positive vibrations towards the house, which brings in harmony, wealth, health, prosperity, and emotional clarity.How to do this ritual?To begin with this cleansing ritual, go for Ceylon cinnamon sticks or pure cinnamon powder for safe burning; always avoid cassia varieties, as they are high in coumarin, which makes the cinnamon impure. Next, take a heat-safe incense holder, charcoal disc, or fireproof bowl filled with sand for stability. Apart from that, one can include cloves or bay leaves to amplify the effects of this ritual.Start with grinding three cinnamon sticks lightly if using powder form, or keep whole cinnamon for sustained release. Cleanse your space first with camphor smoke, invoking affirmations like “Negativity be gone, positivity flow.” Post that, set up the cinnamon sticks in a well-ventilated area during waning moon phases for optimal energy flow.Burning methodTake a light, a charcoal piece, and heat it until it is glowing, then sprinkle the cinnamon powder or place sticks on the top of the charcoal. Walk clockwise around the room’s perimeter, fanning smoke into corners to remove negativity and hidden stagnation. Lastly, visualize dark energies dissolving as the sweet aroma and smoke rise, warding off negativity.Make sure you do this cleansing ritual weekly on Mondays or Fridays. Begin with the main entrance and gradually move inwards room by room, and keep reciting verbal affirmations such as “This smoke clears all blocks, welcoming love and wealth.” Open windows post-ritual to let purified chi circulate freely throughout your home.
