Smudging can be used to clear negative energies and welcome high vibrations into your life.

1. Begin by lighting the end of the smudge stick with a matchstick or from an already lit candle. Allow the flame to burn for a moment before blowing it out then allow the smoke to swirl from the sage.

2. As you are lighting the sage, set your intention or positive affirmation for the smudging practice. You can say this either out loud or mindfully to yourself.

3. While holding onto your intention, consciously wave the smudge stick around the space, person, or item to be cleansed.

When smudging a space, walk into each corner of the room and allow the smoke to fill this space. Be sure to get the cleansing smoke in doorways, around windows and crevices where energy stagnates. You may choose to cleanse your space after an argument, illness or a traumatic event. Many also find it beneficial to cleanse a new home to clear the space of any residual energy.

Smudging yourself or others, wave the sage over the body, along each limb and around the head. You can also cup the smoke in your hand and then wash this over your head from front to back, around your crown. You may wish to smudge yourself before meditation or holding ceremony to increase clarity and balance and assist you in creating a high vibration for your spiritual practice.

If smudging crystals or ceremonial tools, wave the sage all over and around the item, allowing the smoke to envelop it. The more you use a stone, the more energy it collects. A good practice is to cleanse your stones frequently to remove any collected energy and recharge them to work at their highest capacity.

4. Once finished, stub out your smudge stick in sand or a heat resistant container. We like to use a beautiful ceramic bowl that we store our sage in between uses.

Be sure to thoroughly extinguish your sage stick and caution/avoid using when pregnant

In many ancient cultures, plants are more than living things, they have a spirit just as we do, and sage is no different.

The smoke generated by plants has a rich history of use as part of spiritual practice. The first nations people of America were the first on record for using sage in a ceremonious manner and burnt sage as a way of communicating with the spiritual realm and connecting to the spirit of the plant and the earth. When sage is burned, it releases negative ions, which are linked to lifting our mood.

Similar to bathing to cleanse our physical body, smudging with sage is intended to cleanse our energetic body and lift away negative energies and emotions. Cleansing both our space and ourselves can have a significantly positive effect on our emotional and mental wellbeing. When burning sage with intention, you are asking the spirit of the sage to bring its clearing and protective energy into your space, your body and your energetic field. When you perform a smudging ritual using sage, you are connecting with a powerful ancient line of spiritual tradition.

Throughout the ages, Lavender has been coveted for its beautifully sweet aroma and therapeutic healing qualities.

In Roman times, it was recognized for its antiseptic and purifying qualities and the ancient Greeks used Lavender to fight insomnia, hyperactivity and physical aches. When burned alongside sage, Its potency is heightened for a deeper energetic and physical cleansing.
