How to Use Your Smudge

The goal with smudging is not to have flames but smoke. It is the smoke that purifies and cleanses.

So once it is lit, use your hand or breath to blow the flame out if it doesn't go out on its own.

Do not leave incense, candles and/or charcoal disks burning unattended. Always keep candles in a safe place away from flammable objects, children, and pets. Use a fire safe dish or plate to set candles on.

Then wave the smoke around whatever it is you'd like to purify. A feather or group of feathers is a traditional way to do this.

As the smoke moves around and up to the sky, imagine releasing whatever is not in your best interests. Let it go on the smoke. The sacred smoke will take these energies back to the Source, where they will be transformed into positive energy again.

You can pray and sing for the cleansing that you desire.

You will want to keep a bowl of sand or earth nearby. When you are done smudging, bury the burning end completely.
