Each ingredient is considered a sacred herb used for centuries by Native Americans in the “smudging” ceremonies. “Smudging” is the name given to the burning of these herbs for the purposes of cleansing and sending our prayers. Today, people are “smudging” to receive the benefits known to generations of our Native American brothers and sisters.

“Smudging is the traditional spiritual practice of clearing away negative thoughtforms (the manifestation of mental energy) and other negative vibrations with the smoke of burning herbs, typically dried sage. The sage used for smudging is usually either high desert sage or white wide-leaf sage and is often bound into a bundle called a smudge bundle, like this Blue Sage and Lavender Smudge Stick.

When and Why to Smudge Yourself or Your Space using Copal Sage Smudge Stick

Because old thoughtforms and other negative vibes tend to accumulate no matter how clear you try to keep yourself or a space, it is a good idea to smudge every so often to continue to attract positive vibrations into your life. Smudge any time you feel that negative thoughtforms, including your own, have gotten stuck in your energy field.

You know you need to smudge or clear your space when chaos is present, arguments abound, anger presents itself, or general feelings of agitation and frustration exist. If an argument just occurred, clear your space. If you encountered an unpleasant situation, clear yourself. If your children are unruly and your spouse is cranky, clear your space.

About Copal from All About Smudging an eBook by Margaret Ann Lembo

Copal is a resin often used by the Mayan culture. It is a gum that comes out of the Cieba tree. Copal clears out negativity and brings in positive spiritual energy. It has been documented to have been used as far back as the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican people. I became familiar with copal during my visits to Mexico for the Sacred Sites tours as well as Native American Church ceremonies. It is a golden or white-colored resin that you burn as an incense over charcoal. It’s beneficial for prayers, ceremonies, blessings and clearings. Pure essential oil of copal is not commonly found.
