Smudging is a ritual that is believed to remove all negativity and purify ones soul.

Smudging can be done in both your house to purify your house or can also be used on your body to purify your body.

To smudge your house move around your house in a clockwise direction (starting at the front door), and then gently wave the smoke into the air.

Next spend a bit more time smudging the room corners, as they tend to accumulate the most stagnant energy.

Be sure to also open the closet doors and carefully smudge the inside of the closet too.

You smudge by using sage or a sage stick.

To smudge yourself you need to light the smudge stick or other herb and then take some smoke in your hand and bring it over your heart, keeping the intention to clear your energy.

After that bring some smoke over your eyes, your third eye and your head.
Then repeat the same process with your throat, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras, and last but not least your legs and feet (including the soles of your feet).
