WHAT IS SMUDGING?

Smudging is a way to energetically cleanse a space to invite positive energy. When smudging a space, you are burning plant material. The smoke fills and purifies the environment.

White sage is probably the most common and popular herb for smudging. It is associated with purity and has a strong and heavy presence. It's definitely useful for when you need a major space cleansing. 

USED FOR

1.White Sage is used to cleanse spaces, houses, rooms or environments of any kinds of subtle, old energies and prepare the space with fresh intent. This can be useful with new purchases, gifts, or second-hand items. However, any item can be smudged.

2.Smudging may also be used as a tool to rid yourself or your space of negativity. This includes past traumas, bad experiences, or negative energies from others. This may help you establish a positive environment for meditation. Choosing to sit and let go of negative thoughts in a ritual like this sets your intention and dedication to self-improvement

3.It is very good for cleansing other crystals of energies.

HOME + SPACE

Burning sage is thought to release negative ions and to help neutralise positive ions.

Common positive ions are allergens like:

• pet dander
• pollution
• dust
• mould

Sage helps to clears bacteria in the air. Scientists have observed that sage can clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria in a space and disinfect the air. 

GETTING STARTED

HOW TO SMUDGE WITH SAGE

1.Open a few windows and doors to help any smoke and negative energy leave easily.

2.Light your sage stick over a flameproof bowl. Grab the sage as far from the end you are burning as possible. Hold the sage at a 45-degree angle, light it and let it burn for about 20 seconds and then lightly blow on the flame until it goes out. The sage will then smoke gently like incense. Remember that it’s the smoke that does the work and so the stick does not have to remain lit.   

3.Walk around your home clockwise, carefully using your hands to waft the smoke into all areas of your space. Include all small spaces that collect negative energy like corners, windows and behind doors. It’s also good to open cupboards and wardrobes because they can also hold stagnant energy.

Remember that the goal is to allow a light amount of smoke to move around your space so there’s no need to create a thick cloud of smoke.

4.You may need to relight the sage stick to make it around the whole house - simply relight it over your flameproof bowl and lightly blow it out as before.  Then carry on where you left off.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SMUDGE?

Smudging your home can be done whenever you like.

Here are a few times when you’ll find it particularly effective…

• During bouts of unease and negativity.
   
• After illness, especially when it’s something that has spread through your home; sage has anti-bacterial properties and so can help in more ways than one. 
   
• When you move into a new home.It's a wonderful way to cleanse your new home of the previous owner’s energy and welcome a new chapter into your life.
   
• To clear the air after arguments and rid your home of the negative energy that was created. 
   
• After a relationship breakdown.
   
• If you’re having trouble sleeping and a bad night’s rest has become too common.
   
• Before meditation, yoga or anything that calls you to be creative.
