How To Use Sage Smudge:

Sage smudging is a powerful cleansing technique used by the indigenous people for thousands of years in order to remove negativity and invoke positive energy. It is also used to relieve stress and anxiety in addition to being a natural antibacterial and antiviral. Use our smudge sticks to cleanse a space, person, object, or your own mind, body, and spirit.

To use your smudge, begin by ensuring your space is well-ventilated for effective cleansing. Place the sage bundle on a glass or ceramic surface and light one end of the herbs. An abalone shell may also be traditionally used. Light the tip of the bundle until the leaves are thoroughly lit which may take about 30-60 seconds. As the flame appears, blow the flame out so the herb will smolder and release smoke. Continue to fan or blow on the burning embers to keep the smoke alive during the cleansing process. It is through the consistent addition of the element of air that the bundle will steadily burn.

You may cleanse yourself first by encircling the smoke around you. Use a feather or fan to direct the smoke to the areas or persons needing cleansing. During this time, focus on your positive intentions, that which you desire to manifest in your life such as health, love, protection, abundance, etc. Do this from a place of confident knowing and faith, removing the sense of fear, lack, or doubt. You may also use this time to visualize your desired life experience, allowing yourself to tap into the emotions as if the event is already inevitable.
