Starting your morning with a ritual is a great way to set the day’s intentions and start your morning on the right foot. Finding something that works for you is the most important part, whether it’s a simple meditation, a few minutes of journaling, stretching, or making your own cup of coffee.
Burning a bay leaf every morning is a simple ritual that you can start doing today. It has many spiritual benefits and can be an incredibly calming experience to start your day.
So here are six reasons why I believe you should burn a bay leaf every morning.
Stimulating And Uplifting Scent
If you wake up feeling a little down, the smell of burning bay leaves may be just what you need to pick yourself up.
Combine that with your daily affirmations and coffee in the morning, and you’ll be sure to be in a good mood and ready to tackle the day.
Just take a bay leaf, a lighter, and a fireproof bowl and burn the bay leaf. Use your hand to waft the smoke around your space and enjoy the potent scent of your bay leaf.
You can burn multiple bay leaves at one time, or you can burn them one at a time. I actually like to burn them one by one.
Bring Positive Energy Into Your Life
When you burn bay leaves, it brings positive energy into your life. Burning a bay leaf is perfect if you’re looking to start fresh, make changes in your life, or feel stuck.
The fragrant smoke purifies the air and creates favorable conditions for new beginnings. So if you’re looking to attract positive energy into your life, be sure to burn a bay leaf.
Good Luck
Burning a bay leaf can help bring good luck into your life. If you’re looking for a new job or want a promotion, try writing what you desire on a bay leaf and then burning it. Burning a bay leaf will help open up the doors for new opportunities to come into your life.
Doing this every morning is a perfect way to always be ready to receive any unexpected blessings that head your way.
Protection
Another reason why it is good to burn bay leaves every morning is because of the protection they offer. If you feel unsafe or like someone negatively influences you, burning bay leaves can help clear that energy.
It will protect you energetically but also give you the strength to stand up for yourself and block the negative vibes that may come your way.
Write “I am protected” or “I am safe” to reaffirm your intention.
Helps With Decision Making
If you’re having trouble making a decision, the smoke from the burning bay leaf clears your mind and gives you the wisdom to make the right decision.
This is perfect if you’re stuck or can’t see all your options. Take a deep breath, and let the smoke from the bay leaf help you find the clarity you need.
You can write your question down on your bay leaf or think about it while burning it. Make sure to journal about any thoughts on answers that may present themselves to you after your ritual.
Releases Negative Energy
If you wake up with a heavy heart or feel burdened by something, burning a bay leaf can help lift that energy and relieve you. Maybe you’re going to a job that you hate, and every morning and when you wake up, you have negative vibes to start your day.
Take a bay leaf, light it on fire, and let the smoke waft over your head and down your body. Visualize all of that negative energy leaving your body with the smoke. Make sure to have a door or window open so that the smoke can remove the negative energy.
This is similar to using sage or palo santo to clear your space. You can also do the same with a bay leaf!
Set Intention
Another reason to burn a bay leaf every morning is for you to set the intention for the day. By setting your intention, you tell the Universe what you want.
You can do this by writing your intention on the bay leaf. Hold it in your hand and say, out loud, what you want for the day. It could be something like, “I intend to have a productive day” or “I intend to find a new job.”
Next, light the bay leaf on fire and watch it as it burns away. And with that, you are one step closer to having the day you desire.
Health Benefits
Finally, burning a bay leaf every day will also help improve your health. Bay leaves have been used for centuries in herbal medicine for their healing properties.
If you’re feeling under the weather, try burning a bay leaf and sitting with the smoke for a few minutes. The smoke from the bay leaf relieves congestion, soothes coughs, and clears out sinuses. It can also help boost the immune system, which is vital for warding off colds and other illnesses.
Burning a bay leaf every day, combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, will improve your overall health and well-being.

Burning bay leaves has become one of the go-to manifestation practices I love. Not only are they powerful by themselves, but when you pair them with a manifestation technique like the 7×77 manifestation method, you create an even more powerful tool for manifesting.
