Sage Torch Stick

You may not be able to control much of the outside world, but you can control how your home feels. The first and most important step when addressing the energy of your home is to clear and cleanse the space. 

In addition to its well-known healing properties, sage also has antimicrobial properties, which makes it a powerful energy tool for purification. Starting the day off with a saging session can help eliminate all unwanted or negative energy and support your physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness.

When saging your home, there’s actually much more to the process than one might think. While burning some sage really quickly before around does clear the energy, the steps below will help you truly get the most out of your saging session.

1. Open all the windows and the doors.
   
   
2. In each room, move anything from the corners into the center of the room.
3. Light your sage.
   
   
4. Say the following "Smudge Prayer," Please cleanse this space for the highest good of my family and all that come in contact with our home. I release into this smoke all energies that do not serve me, all negativity that surrounds me and fear that limits me!
   
   
5. Starting at the front door, walk around your home clockwise with your sage, assessing the energy. This process helps you develop a deeper connection with your space, so you can learn to “read” the energy.
   
   
6. As you burn the sage in each room, give a little extra attention to the corners, as this is where energy often builds up.

Remember to take care of your space just as much as you take care of yourself, because they really are one and the same!
