This is a therapy we've discovered as a combination that's useful again and again.  It's a fundamental application useful in beginnings and conclusions of journeywork.  Healing, self exploration, conclusions or crisis...Sweetgrass-White Sage-Sweetgrass applications work to restore and heal from within whatever your intentions or motivations.
     Always begin any journeywork within by opening your heart.  The Sweetgrass Medicine will aid you with this.  Using your journeying techniques, meditation exercises, your own personally designed journeys, whatever imagineering you employ, Sweetgrass Medicine is the right initiator.  Achieving a place of security within where your sense of self remains intact throughout your journeying is one of the primary characteristics of Sweetgrass.  With an open heart you can allow yourself mistakes...your inner issues.  Finding and holding your centerplace within is an essential step in healing / journeying work.  It's the only gateway through which you can honestly move into deeper, more revealing and fruitful inner territory.  The Sweetgrass step of defining and holding your centerplace is excellent practice.  This is the beginning place for all forms of meditation practice
allowing you to venture further safely.  Defining this space within is important to your mental balance, to your vitality.  It must be comfortable, a retreat of self awareness and acceptance where you know everything is going to be all right.  This is the first most primary purpose to meditation...finding, defining this one space.
      This centerplace within isn't such a difficult place to find and maintain.  There is a space within each of us where the memories of positive, spiritually empowering experiences live that we draw from as a resource of our strength.  Exemplary are your memories of the times you have performed and unconditional or even surpirsing kindness, accepted someone or anything regardless of your own needs, the sensations of joy you've experienced from whatever source, the beauty you've observed surrounding you...these moments / memories are a part of you that lives within providing you with a wellspring of your individual humanity and helps to inspire your spiritual nature.  Your compassion and capacity for growth lies within this this sacred space.  Even if you only resource it as a memory during your meditations, it is the true heart of you where inner strength and healing is anchored, it is the temple of YOU.  When you establish you inner home there you can begin to work outwards towards the blockage of issues and fulfilling your dreams.  Sweetgrass Medicine will aid you in this journey.
       At this point you can begin to work with the White Sage Medicine towards entering the darkness of those blockages that are fears built of your mistakes.  This portion of your journey is highly personal and is only approached with self honesty in your intentions towards facing and healing whatever fears you've been carrying.  Traveling into the past to confront them as the experiences that have manifested fear, dysfunctional behavior patterns is honed and allied with White Sage Medicine.  Self honesty is your guide.  As the White Sage Medicine assists your revelations of the past it focuses you to confront and accept your fears, to unmask them as the gifts of your personal, unique Medicine for sharing.  As you work further with this kind of inner journeywork, the Sweetgrass Medicine will once again help you at any time you should need grounding and self nurturing.
