Whether you want to clear your space of stale energy and bring positive energies in to your space, remove negative energies or remove negative unwanted entities, smudging is a good place to begin. This practice goes back thousands of years and our ancestors used it for many healing, cleansing and religious purposes and ceremonies. To do just a Spring cleaning and remove stagnant energies, remove blockage from your life, sage can be used just like an incense by lighting it, putting out the flame, and allowing the smoke from the sage to move through each room, cleansing and purifying the air and contents. It is best to use a shell held under the sage stick to catch the ashes as to not let them fall to the carpet or floor.
In tradition, an abalone shell is used for this purpose and a feather to waft or move the smoke in a more efficient manner throughout the space. When smudging, it is often best to also burn a white candle, placed at the center of the house or building to assist in absorbing left over or lingering energies. Pinches of salts can be placed in corners of rooms or areas that may seem colder, warmer, darker, and more electric or have a different uneasy feeling to them to assist in removing them and after smudging sparingly sprinkled around the property in a circle.
A prayer, such as a house blessing prayer is also sometimes used to help cleanse a property. In some cases, sage is also used in a group and passed on from person to person, to say healing words for a loved one or heal the planet. We hope this information helps you when choosing to decide to use and bring smudging into your life. Smudging is the pass time of removing the old and negative and bringing and allowing the positive to enter into you and your family’s life and surroundings. FREE SMUDGING DIRECTIONS INCLUDED!
