Smudging is an ancient spiritual practice in which herbs are burned to clear away negative energy from individuals, spaces, and objects. Smudging has long been used as an aid to mood enhancement and relaxation.
Smudging kits provide everything needed for beginners to begin smudging. Most kits contain an instruction manual, blessing guide, assorted smudging sticks and an abalone shell to hold them all.
1. White Sage
White Sage is traditionally used to purify oneself and home from negative energy, including negative vibes, cleanse and purify objects, clear the air of toxins, and heal ailments.
Smudging requires opening windows for fresh air in order to facilitate the release of negative energy, and setting your intention before beginning; whether that means discharging negative energy, welcoming in new beginnings or even getting ready for meditation or yoga practice.
This kit includes a miniature white sage smudging stick, Palo Santo wood and small abalone shell; making it the ideal combination to start your smudging ritual.
2. Blue Sage
Sage smudging is an ancient cleansing ritual used to expel negativity from any environment and welcome positivity in. Sage’s medicinal qualities help reduce stress and anxiety while increasing mental clarity.
Blue Sage resembles White Sage but has a lighter and more refreshing aroma. This herb can be used in money spells and prosperity rituals to attract abundance.
Once lit, fan the smoke to purify an area. Many practitioners recommend working clockwise around your home and paying special attention to closets and dark spaces when performing this ritual.
3. Palo Santo
Palo Santo, also known as Holy Wood, can act like sage to clear negative energy and attract good fortune. Additionally, its high amounts of limonene may offer potential cancer prevention properties.
Just light a stick of Palo Santo and hold at about 45 degree angle until smoke rises, then blow out the fire. Waft the smoke around a room, paying particular attention to corners & windows.

6. Abalone Shell

Sage is known to encourage feelings of love, compassion and peace while symbolizing Mother Earth. Additionally it serves as a handy bowl to collect falling ashes and embers. Be wary when burning sage or herbs unattended as this can create fire hazards; make sure it remains in a safe location until complete before extinguishing it when finished.
