Harmony in the Home

•  Basil and honeysuckle, roughly one tablespoon of each— fresh herbs are preferable, but dried also works well.
• 1 dried leaf—if you must pick a leaf from a tree, choose from a well-flourishing tree, pick gently, thanking the tree, and
• leave the leaf to dry before using.
• Mortar and pestle—if you don’t have these, a bowl and
  
  your fingertips will work fine.
• Cedar or sandalwood incense (optional)

Light the incense, if using. Slowly pour the basil into the mortar or bowl,
saying, “with this basil, I keep all negative energy away from my home.” Add
the honeysuckle, saying, “with this honeysuckle, I bring all positive energy
into my home.” Stir the two herbs together with the pestle or mix with your
fingertips. Take the leaf and crumble it gently over the herbs, saying, “there
is harmony in every corner of this home” three times. Mix the leaf into the
herbs while concentrating on feeling peaceful, at ease, and secure in your
dwelling.
Sprinkle the mixture around the outside of your home, walking around it in a
clockwise circle. If this is not possible, sprinkle it discreetly around as much
of the outside area as you can. You can also use potted plants for this step, if
necessary.
