Smudging is a technique used to cleanse a space or body of negative energy. Smudging has been utilized in Native American cultures for hundreds of years. Traditionally sage and sweet grass are used. Sage drives out negative thoughts, spirits, and energies. Sweet grass attracts positive after the negative energy is driven out. To begin smudging you will need a small flat heat proof container or plate. Traditionally an abalone shell is used.
You will need a bundle of dried sage and sweet grass. You can use colorful string to tie it together. Light the bundle and allow it to burn for a moment then smother it. You want to smoke from it but it should not be on fire. In circular motions, move the smoldering bundle of herbs. In case yourself in the cleansing aromatic swirls. Proceed to walk around your entire home, inside and out if need be. You may cite a prayer if you are cleansing negative spirits.
Some examples; Dear God, Virgin Mary, Jesus and Archangel Michael, Banish all evil and negative energies and spirits from this home, and Bless this home with your pure White Light of Love and your Pure White Light of protection- amen. You can also recite “The lord’s prayer” there is true power in these words. If you’re going to say it, take it seriously. You can also say a spiritual incantation. “ I banish all negative dark energies from my life and home, with the light and energy of love, in the name of all things holy I cleanse this space.
Don’t forget to cleanse the attic, basement, crawl spaces, and outdoors. If you are experiencing paranormal troubles, be sure to pour coarse salt on the seal of every window, door, and around your bed if the issues are that serious. I hope this information helps you. Be blessed
