How to Sage your space

Updated: Jan 22, 2022


SO HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? Smudging calls on the spirits of sacred plants to drive away negative energies and put you back into a state of balance, peace and harmony. It is the psychic equivalent of washing your hands before eating – and used as an essential preliminary to almost all Native American ceremonies. And the apparent benefits are steeped in science – when burned, sage and other herbs release negative ions, which research has linked to a more positive mood.

SMUDGING RITUAL: THE BASICS ::

  • Before you begin your smudging ritual, center yourself, holding the intention to drive away all negativity from your energy and purify your soul.

  • As you smudge, visualise yourself being surrounded by gentle, loving energy. Breathe in positivity, courage and love. Connecting with each smudged area and the feelings you wish to release or attract will empower your ritual (i.e: letting go of self abuse and bringing empowerment while smudging your solar plexus, or releasing grief and calling for unconditional love while smudging your heart).

  • If smudging a space, use a fan (ideally made of bird’s feathers) to drive the smoke into all corners of the room, again, holding the intention to purge the place of negative energy and invite in purity and light.

  • Please be sure to smudge every room in the house. Open all windows able to open and allow the negativity to flow out of your space.

I definitely will use the suggestions provided here. Though I've smudged my space before, I haven't really smudged myself as well. I will need to now find a bird's feather lol, and try to visualize more. Something that I really need to work on. Thank you for this resource 💜
