For centuries, White California Sage has been a sacred tool in Native American traditions, used to cleanse spaces, banish negativity, and invite blessings of health, protection, and prosperity. Sage smudging is a powerful ritual that allows the plant’s spirit to release its energy of purification into your space, object, or being, helping to clear away stagnant or heavy energy.
How to Use Sage for Smudging
-
Set Your Intention – Before lighting your sage, focus on what you want to clear or invite into your space.
-
Light the Torch – Hold the sage bundle at a slight angle and ignite the tip, allowing it to smolder and produce cleansing smoke.
-
Direct the Smoke – Use your hand or a feather to guide the smoke around your space, over objects, or around yourself.
-
Express Gratitude – As the sage burns, thank the plant for its assistance in clearing and protecting.
-
Let the Smoke Carry the Energy Away – As the smoke disperses, visualize any negative or heavy energy lifting and transforming into light.
