Smudging is a way to energetically cleanse a space to invite positive energy. When smudging a space, you burn plant material, the smoke fills and purifies the environment. As the smoke rises, it takes your wishes and intentions as a spiritual way to connect the universe, earth, and humanity. Burning aromatic herbs and resins was practiced in antiquity and is found in many cultures and spiritual religions.
~The mindfulness of a smudge ceremony begins when you collect your supplies, so practice this with ease and care. Do your best to slow down and not rush. Keep the materials sacred by using them only for space clearing. If you are gathering materials to sage your space from negative energy for the first time, look for a smudge stick that has bundled materials that appeal to your senses, such as lavender, floral, yerba, palo, mugwort, rosemary, and more.
~Materials needed to properly smudge your sacred space~
🕯Candle and Matches -It’s recommended to have a candle nearby to relight the smudge stick during the smudging ceremony. Matches or a lighter is used to light the candle. You will light the smudge stick with the candle flame.
🐚Smudging Platform - It's useful to have a shell, clay, metal, or glass bowl to hold underneath the smudge stick to catch any ashes or embers. It's tradition to use an abalone shell for this, which also brings into your home a beneficial water element that's important for good feng shui. The Shell, Bowl, or Plate should only be used for smudging ceremonies.
⌛️ Sand - A bowl of sand is a must. It is used to properly extinguish the smudge stick safely after the ceremony is complete. Keeping you connected and grounded to the earth. Do not run smudge wand under water to put out.

"Into this smoke, I release all energies and connections that no longer serve me for my highest purpose. I call back all my power and remove any attachments that are not meant for me. I release all fears that limit me and I fill myself up with Positivity, Abundance, Success, and Pure Light. This is my Sacred Space I banish darkness away with the light of my grace. I am being surrounded by light, peace, love, and happiness at all levels of my being. So mote it be" ( or you can say Thank you, Amen) -Repeat until finished smudging.
~Before You Begin the Smudging Ceremony~
Allow enough space and time so you don’t feel rushed. If possible, meditate for at least five minutes to calm your mind and heart. When performing a space clearing, your intention is key. Take some time to contemplate what your wishes are for your home and family. When you clear your space, you want to welcome your intentions into the newly cleared and open space.
~Smudging the Space~
Start at the front door of the home and light your smudge wand. Then, begin to move slowly around the home. Move mindfully and with care, walking clockwise around the entire interior perimeter of the home. Be sure to allow the smoke to drift into even the hidden spaces, like inside closets, basements, and dark corners. If there are stairs, just go up or down when you encounter them so you can smudge the upper or lower levels in the same manner. Then keep moving clockwise until you meet the stairs again. Then continue to go down or up the stairs and resume smudging on the main floor.
Moving around a space like this is called “circumambulation.” It’s a practice that’s been done for centuries in ancient cultures to make a space more sacred.
Chant your mantra or prayer that is meaningful to you cleansing the space and filling it up with positive vibrations.
~Closing the Ceremony~
When you arrive back at the front door, chant your final mantra or prayer. Visualize the entire home filled with bright white sunlight. Then speak your intention one last time to close the smudging ceremony.
A smudging ritual is a beautiful and effective technique to clear a space. You'll know if smudging worked because you will likely feel better after each ritual. A smudging ritual can be done annually, once a season, or more often. It’s especially powerful to perform a space clearing as part of the cleaning process when you first move into a new home, or when you have detached from certain people whom have entered.
