Sage Smudge Bundles

Sage is a sacred plant known for its cleansing and purifying properties. It has been used for centuries in spiritual ceremonies by many cultures, particularly by Native American shamans.

How to perform a sage cleansing ritual:

Find a heat-resistant container to place your sage bundle in (traditionally, an abalone shell is used).
Open all the doors and windows in your home.
Light the sage bundle. Once it catches fire, gently blow out the flame and allow the embers to produce a steady stream of smoke, just as you would when lighting incense.
Walk through each room, gently waving the sage bundle so that the smoke reaches every corner, along the walls, around the windows, and near the ceiling. As you do this, imagine the smoke absorbing any negative energy, lingering emotions from previous occupants, toxicity, and anything else you wish to release. Watch the smoke drift toward the open windows and visualize all unwanted energy leaving your space, making room for fresh, positive energy.
After cleansing each room, cleanse yourself with the sage. Let the smoke surround your hands, then gently sweep it over your face. Continue by guiding the smoke around your entire body, as though you were taking a cleansing shower. Visualize any remaining negativity leaving your body and your home, disappearing completely.
Extinguish the sage bundle safely in the container.
