Smudging

What is smudging? Smudging is a ritual for cleansing and clearing negativity from people, objects or places. It clears and cleanses your space before you perform your rituals, prayers or meditation. Use it to cleanse your crystals too.

How do I do it? After you light your sage stick wave the stick so that you extinguish the flame then use a feather or your hand to direct the smoke onto what you are smudging.

To clear a room of negativity, direct the smoke into each corner starting in the east and moving in a clockwise direction. You can open the windows so that the negativity is carried out with the smoke, or direct your cleansing to the back door, then open the door to let the negative drift out with the smoke.
