#invitepeace #momentofclarity #smudgefeather #cleanseandpurify Within the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, the four medicines are tobacco, sweetgrass, sage and cedar. Tobacco comes from the east direction and represents balance. Sweetgrass comes from the south and represents kindness and positivity. Cedar is the western direction and represents harmony. Finally, sage is the northern direction and represents protection from negativity (the meaning might vary according to each nation). When smudging, one will place grounded medicine in an abalone shell and light it. Using a feather (connection to the Creator), one will keep the smoke active. You do not use your breath to keep the smudge going, as it would be giving your strength away. (at Crysta's Creations) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6c6BoHeRI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1conjwjt38xdy
