Chakra | Cleansing Bowl | Terracotta | Orange
The burning of sacred herbs to cleanse a space has been practised across many cultures throughout history, with the Indigenous peoples of North America holding a particularly deep and enduring tradition around it — burning herbs such as white sage in ceremonies of purification, healing, and blessing. This terracotta bowl is offered as a beautiful, functional accessory for anyone wanting to burn sage or other cleansing herbs safely, with respect for the traditions it draws from.
Etched around its exterior are the seven chakras — energy centres traditionally believed, in yogic and Indian spiritual tradition, to run along the body from base to crown, each one associated with a different aspect of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. A raised inner well sits at the centre of the bowl, holding a sage bundle upright while ash and embers fall safely into the wider dish below. What Is This Bowl Used For?
The Chakra Cleansing Bowl is traditionally used to:
- Provide a natural, heatproof vessel to safely catch ash and embers while burning sage, palo santo, or other smudging herbs
- Hold and support a sage bundle upright as it smoulders during a cleansing or blessing ritual
- Serve as a small decorative dish for crystals, jewellery, or other treasured objects
- Bring the symbolism of the seven chakras into a cleansing space, traditionally believed to represent balance across body, mind, and spirit How to Use
- Place your lit sage stick or bundle into the raised inner well, allowing ash and embers to fall safely into the dish as it smoulders
- Use the bowl as a stable base while you carry your smoulder around yourself, another person, or a space
- Allow all ash and embers to cool completely before disposing of them
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth between uses Specifications
