What is Smudging?
Just
like we enjoy taking a shower to cleanse our physical bodies,; equally
effective, but on the psychic energetic level, is the practice of “smudging”.
“Smudging” is the common name given to the Sacred Smoke Blessing
Ceremony, a powerful aboriginal technique of burning herbs for emotional,
psychic, and spiritual purification. It is a common practice in many religious,
healing and spiritual traditions. It is a way of cleansing the person,
place, or object of negative energies or influences. The concept behind
smudging is that the smoke attaches itself to negative energy and as it
clears, it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another
space to be transformed.
Smudging is very effective when you’ve been feeling depressed, angry, resentful, or unwell or after you’ve had an argument with someone. You can smudge your home, or workspace, healing room, crystals, jewelry, or any object that you feel may hold negative energy. It is a Blessing from the Earth and its elements.
Smudging Yourself:
Fan the smoke around your body from head to toe. You may want to focus on areas where you feel blockages or where there has been, or is, physical, emotional, or psychic pain. Visualize the smoke lifting away all the negative thoughts, emotions and energies that have attached themselves to you. ie: visualize your depression lifting.
Smudging Herbs:
Various smudging herbs are sold at the Angel store including white sage. Prices vary.
