Dragons Blood Sage Smudge Sticks - SS222

Size: 6 inch Sourced responsibly in California, white sage (Salvia Apiana) is proven to neutralize negative energy, improve sleep, alleviate anxiety and stress. When burned the smoke heals and brings one back into balance and cleanses the body and mind of negative spirits and impurities. Smudging sage has also been known globally to help relieve worry, open the mind, clear negative thoughts and feelings, and de-stress the spirit. TAKE PART IN A SACRED TRADITION: Sage is a traditional medicine plant of the Native American peoples, used for healing and ceremony. It is used for cleansing and purification, and to open people up to a greater connection with the sacred.

Smudging is the ancient practice of using smoke and sacred herbs to remove negative energy, heal and balance an area, person or object.

• grab your chosen smudge stick, candle. matches and a tray (to collect ash).
• if smudging a room/house prepare the area -cover any mirrors, open doors and windows and make sure you have a clear pathway around the area you plan to smudge.
• light the candle and say a prayer or intention for your practice today. when you are ready pass the smudge stick through the candle until it is lit/starts to smoulder (your smudge stick should not have a visible flame like a candle - it will gently burn and give out smoke).
• if smudging a room/house - start at the front door and wave the smudge stick around the left wall, gently moving around the room/house in a clockwise motion. allow the smoke to flow and move naturally, visualising it dispelling old/negative energy. pay particular attention to dark corners or areas where energy can be stuck/stagnant.
• if smudging a person or object again wave the smudge stick around in a clockwise motion to remove any negative/old energy. this is good practice for cleaning your crystals or aura.
• be sure to have your tray to hand to collect any excess ash which may drop. sometimes your smudge stick may go out - relight it from the candle as per your previous step. if it continues to go out your practice is not needed for today.
• when you have finished your practice, place your smudge stick on the tray and sprinkle over some sand or allow it to burn out.
• blow out your candle and give thanks for your practice today. if you can, visualise new, fresh, positive energy replacing the old.
