How to smudge
Begin the ritual by taking a moment to express your gratitude and set your intention. Then, open the windows to release the stagnant energy into the world. Light the bundle and let the flame burn for 20 seconds, then gently blow it out to allow the smoke to rise from the embers. Take the smoldering bundle and diffuse the smoke around you and into the corners of each room, allowing the cleansing smoke to cleanse and refresh the energy. Finally, take the bundle and surround any items you feel need cleansing, and yourself, with it, allowing the smoke to penetrate them for 30 seconds. When you're finished, carefully dispose of the bundle in a ceramic bowl or jar. Be sure to avoid extinguishing it with water, as this can damage the bundle. Remember that each bundle can be used up to 20 times, so you can continue to enjoy the benefits of this cleansing ritual for a long time to come.
