Sage Smudge Stick & Selenite Protection
Sage Smudging your sacred space, your home or office, or even your body with sage is like taking an energetic shower, or doing a deep metaphysical cleansing. This is a wonderful sage to use to clear and bring light into the luminous energy field. Sage is also a stimulant for the nervous system, metabolism, and vital energy centers. As you smudge, focus your intention on releasing stagnant energies so they may be recycled back to the earth, then take a deep breath and receive the fresh energies that you can source from now.
Directions:
Light your sage at a 45º angle with your match or candle, and let it burn for 20 seconds.
Blow out the flame so only embers remain, and smoke will follow.
Slowly walk around your space to allow the smoke to wave around.
Once you're ready to extinguish a sage smudge stick, press the burning tip firmly into your fireproof vessel, dirt, or sand until the smoke no longer rises. Dry sage will catch fire very quickly.
Open a window or a door in any room where you plan to burn sage. You want the smoke to cleanse, but you do not want it to linger.
Always stay present! If you see little embers fall on the ground, tamp them out immediately. Never let the burning sage stay unattended for any reason. Also, take care not to inhale too much of the smoke.
