✦ The magic behind smudge sticks ✦
The smudging ceremony is a custom of Native American and other indigenous cultures. Smudging is performed to clear and bless a space, as well as for centering and healing. The smoke purifies us and the environment. Our bodies and environments are not only physical but vibrate with invisible, silent energy.

✦ Before you begin the smudging ceremony ✦
Smudging is not only for spaces; it’s also for clearing your body, mind, and spirit. As part of the ritual, make sure to invite the sacred smoke around your body from head to toe and front to back to help set your intentions before smudging your space. You can also welcome angels, and ancestors to come and share clean space with you as well.
Allow enough space and time for the ritual so you don’t feel rushed. If possible, meditate for at least five minutes to calm your mind and heart. Remember when performing a space clearing, intention is key. Make sure to open a window while smudging, so the energy you want to remove can find a way out.
✦ Smudging is based on the 4 elements ✦
Earth: Sage, Palo Santo, Dried Lavender, Rosemary + Flowers
Fire: the Candle you will be using to start smudging
Air: normally you use a feather to guide the smoke, but you can also use your hand
Water: 1 Abalone Shell
✦ How to use your smudge stick ✦
Hold smudge stick, to flame until lit (Palo Santo for at least 30 seconds)then blow out & let it smolder. Allow the smoke to rise through air. Carry through space over shell, with intention. Don't forget corners & dark spaces. You can say a mantra or prayer during the ritual. Put flame out in shell when you finished.
✦ Prayers / Mantras you can say while smudging ✦
"God of All, Goddess of Light, Shield & Protect Me Day & Night, Positive Feeling Alone Come Near, All Others Wither & Disappear."
"Into this smoke I release, All energies that do not serve; All negativity that surrounds; And all fears that limit."
"I open this space to divine love, may all the energy that flows through here benefit the heart space. May it hold compassion, nurturance, forgiveness, and truth."
If you move into a new home:
"Hello, my name is ___; I am moving into this space. I want to thank all of the land stewards and spirits of the land. I want to acknowledge the first people of the land. I want to state my intention of creating a home for myself here, living in reciprocity with the spirits that are present."
What you can say when you want to remove negativity:
"I command any negativity, any low vibrational energy, and non-benevolent beings within this space to leave and go to the light. You are not welcome here. I command you to leave and go to the light."
If you want to invite productivity in your home:
"I call in the divine abundance of creativity [or inspiration, productivity, etc.]. May the [project, artwork, contract, etc.] I feel within my heart come to fruition in a form that benefits my highest good. May it be manifested into the form that best expresses its truth."
