Sage is an herb used to purify, clear and expel malevolent spirits from one’s life and space. This sacred practice known as smudging has long been practiced by indigenous cultures worldwide.

Smudging kits provide everything needed for performing the cleansing ritual of sage burning. This includes an authentic large abalone shell and feather to hold and disperse smoke.

White Sage

Sage essential oil has been scientifically demonstrated to possess antimicrobial properties and may help reduce sinus inflammation. Furthermore, its constituent 1,8-cineole may help improve cognition and boost mood; and Native Americans have long utilized burning herbs and resins for spiritual healing through smudging practices.

White Sage is well-known for its uplifted energy, and often used to rid space or objects of negative vibes and energy. Its potent aromatic scent dispels all kinds of negative energy while setting the scene for positive vibes and intentions to come in. Paired here with black sage’s deep introspection and spiritual visions-inducing properties – for maximum purification and meditational benefits. Simply light a mini smudging stick by its stem side, blow out its flame, use a feather to disperse its smoke around your home or object or body; for body purification use an inhale followed by exhaling.

Blue Sage

Smudging is an ancient spiritual and healing practice used across cultures worldwide. The smoke produced from burning herbs clears away negative energy while helping heal and alter one’s mood, so our mini smudging kit makes a wonderful way of cleansing individuals, places or sacred spaces – it also makes an excellent gift!

This bundle is constructed of high quality Blue Sage and includes a shell, feather, and lighter for ease of use. Simply light one end and start wafting smoke throughout your space – leaving one or more windows/doors open is recommended to allow any negativity out and allow this ritual to work effectively.

Blue Sage has powerful metaphysical properties to bring abundance and success, making it ideal for money spells, abundance rituals and blessing ceremonies. Say a smudging prayer as you waft Blue Sage around your home or sacred space to cement your intentions.

Cedar

Burning herbs to release smoke has long been practiced as part of many cultures’ traditional healing rituals, believing it releases negative energy while replacing it with positive, resulting in greater clarity and wellbeing for people and places alike.

Smudging can have physical benefits that go beyond its aromatherapy qualities, including air purification and mood enhancing effects. Some herbs have antimicrobial properties which help purify the air while scents associated with relaxation are known to provide stress relief.

Palo Santo

Palo Santo, or holy wood, has long been used by healers, shamans and community elders in South America as an aromatic remedy to clear negative energy, attract prosperity and foster spiritual connection. Similar to sage’s gentle yet uplifted aromatherapy properties, use this Palo Santo for smudging or just enjoy its comforting aromatherapy qualities as a form of aromatherapy therapy.

The Abalone Shell provided serves a symbolic purpose – to collect ash and embers generated during smudging sessions and keep our environment free from pollution. It represents our connection with nature as part of an eco-system.

Smudging is a form of energy cleansing practice involving burning herbs, plants, or resins to dispel negative energy from both people and spaces. Smudge can be performed prior to using crystals for healing or creating sacred space, and can also enhance meditation practice by clearing away unnecessary energy before practicing your meditation techniques. Smudging should be undertaken regularly for maximum effect – therefore we recommend practicing it as often as needed.
