Sage smudging kits are easy-to-use tools designed to remove negative energy from homes and bodies. While rooted in Native American traditions, more widespread adoption raises concerns of cultural appropriation.
Use ethically sourced sage to avoid overharvesting and support Indigenous communities, and approach this practice with mindful intention and reverence.
Cleanse and Purify
Sage smudging has its origins in Native American traditions, yet is increasingly practiced across cultures worldwide. The ritual involves burning a bundle of dried sage to produce smoke that purports to clear negative energy and restore balance to individuals, spaces, or objects.
Scent of herbs helps to calm and unwind; studies show lavender’s soothing aroma to be particularly effective at decreasing anxiety levels. Pasqualini recommends mixing various herbs for an ideal smudging blend such as rose, cedar wood, thyme or yerba santo wood smudging experience.
To use a smudging kit, light the end of a wand with the lighter and allow it to burn for 30 seconds before blowing it out and moving the sage stick around to purify personal space or objects. After use, place it into a fireproof container (e.g. a bowl filled with sand), to extinguish itself so as to prevent spreading any burns that may arise from its usage.

Before starting your smudging ritual, set an intention and identify which energies you would like to release from your space. Remember to open all doors and windows while burning sage so the smoke has somewhere to exit; this way positive energy can enter while negative energies leave via smoke-filled spaces outside.
Cleanse Yourself
Sage smudging has long been practiced within Native American traditions to purify both people and places. When burning sage is used for purifying spaces or objects – or even yourself! – its fragrant smoke has the power to cleanse negative energies away. It is used by burning it fragrantly on specific places or objects or even your entire body!
Before lighting your smudging kit, set an intention. This helps focus your intention as you smudge your environment or yourself.
As you work, choose a mantra such as, “I ask Great Spirit to eliminate any negativity from this space, leaving only love and healing.” In high traffic areas like windowsills or doorways, ensure to wave the sage stick in all directions before adding sweetgrass as part of a blessing ritual to bless any items purchased second-hand or received as gifts from others.
Cleanse Crystals
Sage is one of the most revered herbs when it comes to filling your space and spiritual tools with positive energy. Its purifying properties have long been used to rid itself of negative energies that arise, making it ideal for cleansing crystals.
If your crystals have an abundance of negative energy or haven’t been cleaned in a while, smudging can help clear it away. Simply open up all windows, hold a smudge stick in one hand while using the other to pass your crystal through the smoke with one hand and visualize all negativity dissipating before visualizing a beautiful white light flooding your crystal with positivity.
If you’re new to smudging, consider purchasing a beginner kit which includes a blessing guide, instructions manual and various sage smudging sticks. With everything at your fingertips in one convenient package, getting used to this ritual should be much simpler. In addition to smudging crystals overnight on windowsills may also prove effective at cleansing them.
