*How to cleanse/smudge yourself and home

Cleansing often times called smudging is a technique most commonly used to clear an area or something of energy. Herbs are gathered and usually bound in string with the intention of burning them in order to cleanse yourself or a space or a property of negate energy or lower vibrations. Herbs can be bound together into stick, left loose, or even mixed, depending on the intention and personal preference.

There are many types of herb that can be used. Some common ones are...... 

White Sage - exceptional at clearing negativity.
Sweet grass - calls forth positive energy and spirits.
Mug wort - know to increase psychic abilities and offers protection.
Lavender - clears a space and promotes a relaxed environment.
Cedar - clears negative energy and brings wisdom.

Some common reasons for smudging would be....... 

-To clear a specific room or entire home of old, stagnant energy, invite in good energy or to clear away low vibrational energy left over from a traumatic incident, a lower vibrational visitor or an argument between family, even a negative or traumatic phone call.

-To clear old energy from a home you may be moving into. Clearing the entire home and property, clears the prior owners energy, leaving a fresh energy to start with.

-To clear a space, room, or circle in which you would like to call upon Divine guidance, through meditation or ritual for example. You can not only clear energy but also call in different energies burning different herbs.

-To cleanse yourself after a particularly hard day, like encountering a number of negative people or after witnessing something intense, scary or traumatic.

-To burn particular herbs to honor, revere or thank specific spirits for their guidance or help.

-Some may feel the presence of negative energy or earth bound spirits (ghosts) in their home or on their property. You can use cleanse/smudge while holding the intention that those spirits are not welcome there.

-You may feel the need or be asked by a family member or friend, to cleanse/smudge their energy  or space. If some one is going through a hard time, whether grief, fear, illness, chaos, negativity, depression, anxiety, rage, resentment, smudging can be a beneficial tool to help clear these energies from them.

There is really no specific way to to cleanse/smudge using herbs. The main ingredients are intention, faith and gratitude. Light your herbs, blow out the flame and use the smoke to start clearing. Its a good idea to do all the nooks and crannies of the area you are clearing. Closets, beds, bushes, behind sheds, and corners are important to remember with intention when clearing larger spaces.
