I am very fortunate to have some hand picked Sacred White Sage from British Columbia. I use Sage quite a bit for smudging myself and my space. It works to clean the “dirty” feeling you can get after being somewhere (bar, office, family gatherings) or that you feel is in your house after a party, fight etc. It’s also useful to use when you move into a new house and want to clear the energy of the people who used to live there.

Smudging – is a Native tradition used to cleanse people, places and objects of negative energies or influences. Bundles or pieces of dried herbs, most commonly sage or sweet grass, are burnt and the smoke is poured over the person place or thing. It is believed that the negative energy attaches to the smoke and when the smoke dispels so too does the negative energy.
Using the sage:
To clear your energy – Light a piece of sage (then blow out the flame) and, starting with under your feet slowly move it up and around your body ending with the top of your head. Tip: you might want to ask someone to get your back for you.
To clear your space – light a piece of sage and slowly move around the room with it in a clockwise manner. Use your gut – if you feel like one part of the room needs more smoke then stay there longer.
To clear an object – light a piece of sage and slowly move the smoke around the object, or pick up the object and move it around and through the smoke.
