Smudge your Heart out

Smudging is used to clear negative energies from a person, place or thing. The techniques roots can be traced back to ancient Egyptian practices and have been used for thousands of years across the globe. It is a simple yet powerful way you can bring balance, cleansing, healing and create sacred space.

Smudging is a great treatment when you are feeling angry, resentful, depressed, emotionally drained or after you have had an argument with someone. Its great to smudge yourself, the space you work in, your car or your home. It can be done before or after a ritual or ceremony, to your crystals or gemstones, special sacred items or any spiritual item.

My favorite herb to use for smudging is the traditional Native American choice of White Sage. You may also want to try Cedar, Sweetgrass, Lavender or Mugwort. You can also use incense or resins such as Frankincense, Amber, Myrrh, Nag Champa or any other scent that calls to you. Just make sure to use your better judgement when working with fire and smoke, have strong intentions of what you are trying accomplish and be safe.
