Sage and Smudging is the quickest way to clear out negative energy from objects, surroundings and all of your sacred spaces.

It is used to purify one's aura before a ceremony.

It is one of the oldest and most well-known herbs for energy cleansing.

The use of sage and smudge is deeply rooted in Native American history. Sage and other sacred herbs were planted around crops to protect the food from hungry animals - they don’t taste good! Sage was also used for spiritual healing, energy cleansing, to remove negative energy and ritual ceremonies. Today white sage is used prior to ceremony and ritual to give attendees a balanced energy and pure thoughts going in.

Smudge whenever you need to re-balance your mental body (self-destructive/limiting thought patterns) or emotional body (fear, anger, depression), or when you desire to let go of/transform any negative energy that is not for your highest purpose and deepest essence. 

Burning Instructions: 

Light (sage bundle, smudge stick) the "wand" at the end of the bundle that has the least amount of stems (versus the end that is more leafy)

Then waft around the space (often times utilizing a feather) 

or place the burning wand on a safe heat resistant surface (often times an Abalone Shell or Lions Paw Shell)

Cleansing Your Stones and Jewelry:

Your gemstones will work best when they are cleared and cleansed. 

Steadily hold your crystals or jewelry pieces in the smoke of a burning smudge until the smoke flows in a steady stream up after circling around the stone or piece.

NEVER harvest white sage from national parks or native land.  It is not yours to take. 

Sage can be farm grown in sustainable ways - this sage comes from a farm in Mexico.
