PURIFYING OUR HOME

ENERGY CLEANSING

The energy in our home can accumulate and become a cause for stagnation and feelings of stuffiness. For good energy to fill our home we can do some energy cleansing as a daily ritual or when ever we feel a change in the energy for example after visitors leave or in case of any life event. there are multiple methods of energy cleansing. There are a few ways to energy cleanse our home to welcome fresh and positive vibes in our homes and smudging is one of them.

SMUDGING

Smudging is an ancient form of energy cleansing used as a ceremonial practice by indigenous people from all over the world. The practice entails the burning of dried herbs for cleansing and protecting the space. The smoke of the herbs blows away the negative energy. The most used form of smudging is with the use of sage sticks or palo santo, palo Santo is wood from the bursera graveolens tree which is known for cleansing and healing properties.

The traditional ways of smudging differs but share similarities for example, all smudging ceremonies require some sort of vessel to carry the herbs such as a shell or smudge bowl. The smoke that is produced has healing powers and carries our prayers to the Devine. By smudging our body and our home, we cleanse our energy to rid ourselves of negativity, created by ourselves or others.

Smudging helps us regain a positive attitude and brings good energy back to our home. The act of taking time to sit and consciously let go of things that no longer serve us, sets our intentions and replenishes our soul. holding space for our healing can hugely empower our lifes.

When we smudge we have to make sure our home has a good ventilation, opening windows and doors would be a good thing.
