Sage smudging is an ancient ritual in which sacred herbs are burned to produce cleansing smoke and draw out negative energies from your space, providing room for positive energy and healing to come into being. Its aim is to clean away negativity in order to allow positive energies in.

Launch your smudging bundle by lighting one end and allowing it to burn for several seconds before blowing out its flame so only embers remain. Gently waft smoke around yourself or your home as needed.

What is a smudging kit?

Smudging kits contain tools designed for performing the energy cleansing ritual known as smudging. This ancient practice dates back centuries in various Indigenous traditions and involves burning sacred herbs such as white sage to produce cleansing smoke believed to attach negative energy and dissipate as it dissipates.

Smudging kits typically include smudge sticks, feathers and an abalone shell (commonly known as a medicine bowl). Smudge sticks are typically comprised of leaves and stems from an aromatic plant with either medicinal/mental health benefits or historical spiritual significance – such as Sage, Palo Santo, Cedar or Sweetgrass.

Before lighting a smudging stick, it’s essential to set an intention. Once lit, hold at a 45-degree angle and gently blow out to allow the embers to smolder and release smoke into your space – paying particular attention to doorways, windows, corners or any areas where stagnant energy may collect. Once finished, waft over body, objects or spaces to release any harmful energy that has built up; in particular doorways windows corners where stagnant energy tends to collect.
