Smudging

Smudging

Sacred smoke created from burning medicinal or sacred plants is an aspect of many cultures and religions the world over. In North America, it is a practice common to Indigenous Peoples and is called smudging. Smudging is traditionally a ceremony for purifying or cleansing the soul of negative thoughts of a person or place. Smudging is also used to clear negative energy from rooms and homes, and physical items. During a smudge, a prayer can be repeated. Though it can be personalized to a very specific intention, the prayer is essentially asking for the smoke to clear any negative energies, allowing only loving, harmonious energies to remain.

If you would rather not have the smoke involved with traditional smudging, Smudge Spray is an effective alternative to clear negative energies from yourself and your space. Crystals and essential oils have powerful cleaning, healing, and uplifting properties.

**Is it appropriate to use sacred medicines if I am not indigenous?

Medicine wheel teaching states that the four nations of man on Mother Earth are all equal and in balance; the creator does not discriminate and celebrates the world’s diversity. As such, the elders teach that culture is meant to be shared and celebrated. However, as a non-native individual, it is your responsibility to be respectful, acknowledge the origin of the culture, and understand its importance. Click here for my full article.
