HOW TO SMUDGE:

1. Open doors and windows to release unwanted energies.

2. Take one stick (Can be broken into pieces), light with fire for about 10-15 seconds.

3. Walk around the space in which you wish to clear the energy and say a prayer of protection, banish all unwanted energy, and vision the outcome.

4. When finished, place the stick in a fire proof bowl of metal, glass or clay.

CAUTION:

If the stick burns too much, flip the burning side downward into the bowl, and apply pressure until the smoke decreases.

Take proper safety precautions such as turning off ceiling fans/drafts or moving any flammable objects away from the burning sage.

NOTE:

Thin smoke indicates that the space is already clean.

Thick, rolling white smoke means that the Sage is purifying the energy.

*Do not stop the burning the stick, when the energy is clear the sage will automatically stop burning on its own. Do not use water unless it is an emergency. *
