Smudging is a powerful ancient Native American ritual for clearing and blessing the energetic fields of people and spaces. Techniques for using tools such as sage bundles, incense, candles, smokeless smudge sprays, aromatherapy oils, crystals and sound to clear and balance personal space can be easily learned by everyone.
Simply using a smoldering sage stick throughout your home can cleanse the space of spiritual or psychic negativity that has gathered over time. At a subtle and subatomic level, the smoke from this purifying herb captures and removes unwanted negativity or "stuck" energy. Often the space feels lighter and more positive immediately after the smudging ritual.
A personalized clearing may include sound from a bell or drum, the placing about of salt or crystals, and specific affirmations or prayers for balance or to call in more positive energies. The Smudging and Blessings Book is a great resource for designing your ritual and offers specific suggestions including how to clear unhealthy relationships or attract love, bless a new home or baby, and celebrate seasonal changes.
At the Open Mind we offer a wide range of support and resources for your space clearing needs. Staff offers guidance to help you design and choose appropriate products. Mary Faith, Phil and I are also available to come to your home and do a team clearing and blessing with you and your family. Gift certificates are available and a house blessing makes a thoughtful wedding or moving gift.
Now is the time. Smudge, clear, and make room for all the good things that will soon be coming your way!
