Yeah, I would expect it to have that effect yes. But like I said you’re going to want to push that intention into the herb, to make it intensify the spiritual effects of the ritual, prior to use.
Essentially get the herb out in a bowl or something and focus on it and if you can’t feel energy, visualize energy flowing from you into it with that intention. I like to use my hands, but some people prefer a chakra or the third eye. I don’t feel like it matters as much where you push or visualize it form as long as the intentions are clear while you do it.
