Burning sage, known as smudging, is an ancient spiritual ritual to dispel negativity from your space or yourself. It clears the air to create a healing state of mind for a symbolic fresh start. Inviting positive energy into your space and releasing the negative can be achieved with the following four steps.
- Light the end of a sage bundle with a match. Blow out quickly if it catches on fire.
- The tips of the leaves should smolder slowly, releasing thick smoke. Direct this smoke around your body and space with one hand while holding the bundle in the other.
- Allow the incense to linger on the areas of your body or surroundings you’d like to focus on. Using a fan or feather can also help direct the smoke, though this is optional.
- Allow the ash to collect in a ceramic bowl or shelf.
Made of sustainably harvested California white sage tied with organic hemp string, the aromatic bundle also can scent a home naturally year-round.
