Cleansing your mind & home with smudging (click to read)

I'm a firm believer in burning sage (smudging), the benefits for this are simply amazing, I only discovered this over the last few years.

the way your home feels after doing it can be felt on yourself and your belongings. I instantly feel relaxed, calmer and more positive.

I do this every season, or when I feel I'm having a bout of low energy or when I have had a lot of visitors into my home. I light a small bundle of sage, open windows in every room to allow the smoke to swirl, I concentrate on my breathing smile and exhale light, pushing positive energy into every room...even the bathroom!

the busiest rooms like the kitchen & living room I will spend more time in, I usually start down stairs then work my way upstairs then back down again finishing in the kitchen. I only ever use the sage bundle once ( I don't reuse) and ill usually leave it to burn in a vase or ceramic bowl, gently knock the flame out if needed against the bowl. 

The size of the sage for me is usually a small bundle, i don't see the need in larger ones unless you have a bigger space to smudge.

I also use sage smoke to cleanse my crystals & tarot cards, My preferred way is to leave my crystals out on a full moon, this includes my jewellery. but if this isn't possible then smudging is ideal.

This is just a little insight on how I do it and I know other people may do it differently, so however it works for yourself is always best!

I buy my sage from Zen in Digbeth Birmingham they always have a great range! the shop is packed with amazing crystals, candles, jewellery, intense...everything you expect from a spiritual shop & more!
