Burning sage is also called βsmudging.β Smudging is a practice originating with First Nations people who burnt bundles of herbs for clearing and healing practices. * When burning sage, open windows and doors to assist in in the removal of the smoke and to facilitate the clearing. * There are many ways to sage but itβs always a good idea to do what resonates with you. A simple affirmation or prayer stating your intent is perfect. βI clear this space of all negativity and lower energy in all space and time,β is one I like to use. * So when should you sage? There are countless instances, below are some of the common reasons we sage. - When someone in your household is physically ill or depressed. - After an argument - To help release any outside energy you may be holding onto. For example after a hard day at work or after socializing. - To clear the energy of a new home. - To clear oracle cards, crystals and other spiritual tools.
