Smudging

Tuesday, 3 March 2015


The smudging ceremony is a Native American tradition that cleanses bad feelings and negative vibrations from houses. Smudging may create a peaceful environment in your home. Smudging is done by burning specific dried herbs and letting the smoke float around the house. You can use dried herbs in a bowl or use a smudge stick to cleanse your house by smudging.

The smoke from the burned sage helps to shift levels of reality connecting us here in the physical world to the subtle realm of a more spiritual existence. Smudging calls upon the spirits of sacred plants to drive away negative energies and restore balance. The botanical name for the sage used in smudging rituals is salvia apiana, derived from the Latin root salvare, meaning “to heal or save”.
