Burning sage is one of the oldest & purest methods of cleaning a person, group of people or space and removing unwanted spirits. The practice dates back to prehistoric times and it has been documented as having been used in every corner of the world by our ancestors.
Sage is often used to get rid of negative energy and restore harmony in a new space such as a new home.
Hold the sage at a 45 degree angle, light the sage, let it burn for about 20 seconds & then gently blow out the flame so that you see orange embers on one end. Then you can start the process of clearing your space. Once you have finished smudging your space rest the sage stick in an abalone shell or fireproof bowl.
