Simple Steps for Ritual Smudging
You will need (1) Candle /Lighter (1) Fireproof Dish (1)Cup Rock Salt (1) Small Sheet Aluminium Foil
Step 1. Find the time when you will not be disturbed (allow for approx. 20-45 minutes). We recommend before smudging , open up windows and doors to allow for the smoke to be released. Start by placing the smudge wand on a “fireproof smudging dish” to contain any loosely dropped herbs.
Step 2. Light the end of the wand with your candle or lighter, allow up to 1 minute for the wand to smoke up. Blow gently onto the smoking end to increase the smoking process. “refer to our video “HERE”
If your smudge wand keeps going out, carefully insert a bamboo skewer into the burnt end of the wand, wiggle the skewer around a few times to help loosen up tightly packed herbs. Remove the skewer then relight your wand - refer to our video “HERE”
You can place your smudge wand onto an Incense Charcoal as you attend to your mediation, energy healing and other ritual practices. - refer to our video “HERE”
Step 3. Continue to produce more smoke while holding it over the fireproof dish. You can use a feather wand - “Smudging Feather Wand” (optional) or gently wave your hand or use your breath (exhale) to direct the flow of smoke. Stay connected to your thoughts and your breathing throughout your smudging. Smudge yourself first by carefully moving the wand in a circular/spiral motion, starting at your feet, leading up towards the top of your head and around the sides of your body.
Step 4. You may start at the front door, however it is your choice. You may move through your space in any direction of your choice while gently waving the smoke into the air. Spend a bit more time smudging the room corners, closet doors and under the bed, as these spaces accumulates stagnant energy.
Step 5. When you have smudged all areas of your space, come back to where you started. Hold thoughts of gratitude and gently extinguish your smudge wand by dipping it into a cup of salt until the wand stops smoking. You may then trim off any burnt ends, wrap in aluminium foil and pack away your smudge wand till your next smudging ceremony.
If you share a space with people and pets, please respect their boundaries when smudging.
