How to Use Smudge Sticks to Cleanse Your Home or Aura

Have you ever walked into a room and felt an invisible heaviness?
Or carried emotional weight that wasn’t even yours?

That’s energetic residue—and it builds up over time.
But here’s the good news: You can clear it with a simple ritual.

Welcome to the ancient art of smudging—a sacred way to cleanse your energy and space using herbs and intention.

What is Smudging?

Smudging is the practice of burning herbs like sage, palo santo, or lavender to:

  • Cleanse negative energy

  • Purify the aura

  • Bring peace, clarity, and spiritual connection

Used by many cultures (including Native American and Vedic traditions), smudging helps us press reset on our energy field.

How to Smudge Your Home: Step-by-Step

  1. Set an Intention:

  2. Open Doors & Windows:
    Let the stagnant energy escape.

  3. Light the Smudge Stick:
    Let it catch fire, then gently blow it out to create smoke.

  4. Move Mindfully Room to Room:

    • Start at the front door and move clockwise

    • Pay special attention to corners, mirrors, and electronic areas

  5. Say a Mantra or Prayer:
    Eg. “Only love and light may dwell here.”

  6. Finish at the Door You Started:
    This completes the energetic circuit.

How to Smudge Your Aura

Visualize all stress, fear, and heaviness dissolving into light.
