Smudge Stick – Positive energy

Why choose the 'Positive Energy' smudge stick?

Smudging has been practised by indigenous peoples for a very long time. By smudging, we mean ‘energetic cleansing’ through the burning of certain herbs. Indigenous peoples referred to this as ‘driving away evil spirits’. Nowadays, the act of driving away evil spirits is also referred to as dispelling negative energy. The smudge stick is ideal for daily use, after a busy day or as preparation for a meditation or yoga session.

A smudging ceremony with white sage is usually carried out prior to another ritual. For example, many people practise smudging before they meditate. After all, meditation works best in a pleasant and energetically pure space! At the same time, white sage aids the meditation itself: it helps you connect with your subconscious.

Unlike the natural smudge stick, this 'Positive Energy' variant is attuned to the frequencies of the theme. The added flowers reinforce the intention of your ritual and bring together scent, colour and symbolism in a single powerful tool.
Use this smudge stick when you could do with a bit of extra positivity. When you could do with a bit of a helping hand and find yourself getting bogged down in the daily grind. Use this lovely smudge stick: a positive and energising reset!

How to use a smudge stick

• Open doors and/or windows
• Place the smudge stick in a fireproof dish or shell, with a little sand if desired
• Take a match or a lighter and light the herbs. Wait until you see a flame
• Blow out the flame and let the herbs smoulder
• If necessary, fan the smoke with a feather
• Extinguish the smudge stick by burying it in sand, placing it in a fireproof dish or dousing it with water

How you carry out a smudging ritual is a personal choice. However, there are certain steps you can follow:

• Set your intention: what do you want to clear away and what do you want to welcome?
• Move the smoke slowly around the room, along the walls, into the corners, past the doorways, and wherever energy might be trapped
• Repeat your intention whilst you’re smudging
• Work from top to bottom and from the inside out
• To cleanse objects or people, move the smoke slowly around the person or object, from top to bottom. 
• Direct the smoke towards the areas you want to focus on
• Conclude the ritual with a prayer, affirmation or expression of gratitude

'I cleanse my home every month by smudging during the waning moon. This is the period between the full moon and the new moon. This phase of the moon is a time for reflection, and the moon’s energy is more inwardly focused. It is also a time for letting go and clearing away negative energy. Turn inwards and let go of what is no longer needed... – Rebecca –

Smudging is more than just spreading smoke… It is a moment of awareness, letting go and inviting. Whether you want to cleanse a space or refresh your own energy field, follow your intuition and create your own ritual.
