    Smudging is a ritualistic burning of herbs and plants to purify and cleanse negative energy, bring good luck, and protect a person or place.

    The practice of burning medicinal or sacred plants has been utilized worldwide for centuries.

    In America, the practice was utilized by many Native American tribes who used the sacred smoke to purify, bless and spiritually cleanse themselves and their surroundings.

    Many believe that herbs’ power and healing properties can rid a person or place of unwanted thoughts, sadness, anxieties, spirits, impurities, poor health, and unwanted energy or emotions.

    The cleansing leaves behind good spirits and peace and harmony for both individuals and the environment.

    Four elements are involved in smudging, a central theme in many Native American rites.

    The container, traditionally a shell, represents water.

    Sacred plants, such as cedar, sage, sweetgrass, and tobacco, represent gifts from mother earth.

    The flame used to ignite the sacred plants represents fire.

    The feather or hand to wave the smoke represents air.

    Smudging is often performed before a ceremony or special gathering.

    It is also conducted after an argument to “clear the air” when moving into a new home, when individuals are sick, and on various other occasions.

    Smudging is still practiced worldwide and is regarded with utmost recognition and respect.

    It is a practice that should always be performed with intention, reverence, and deep gratitude to those who came before us.

    In self-smudging, a cleansing within.

    When one maintains inner harmonics / positive medium,

    one is in a state of grace, spiritually connected,

    free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.
