- Set a positive intention, prayer, or affirmation that you will say while smudging your space. These can be said out loud or silently.
- Use a lighter or candle to light the tip of your smudge stick. Make sure to get a good flame going (around 30 seconds) so that you have enough smoke to smudge. Blow out the flame and lightly wave your hand above the tip of the stick until it begins to smolder and smoke.
- Begin to walk around the room in a counter-clockwise motion to clear the space from corner to corner (relight if necessary). Then, smudge in a clockwise motion back around the room to seal up your space and repeat your intention.
- Extinguish the tip of your smudge stick by holding the smoking side down in a bowl of sand, an abalone shell, or fireproof bowl. Gently press all sides of the smudge stick into the bowl until the smoke is extinguished. Never leave unattended and always extinguish when leaving the room. Re-use again and again until gone.
- End this practice with a deep gratitude for these organic and ethically sources healing tools.
