High Desert Sage Smudge Stick with Sandalwood

High Desert Sage Smudge Stick with Sandalwood

High Desert Sage Smudge Stick with Sandalwood is hand-made in the USA crafted with high desert sage and dusted in sandalwood.

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

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 Sandalwood

Sandalwood is a fragrant wood. Sandalwood oil is derived from that wood. Mala beads, which are prayer beads used by Buddhists to keep track of mantras they chant, are often made out of sandalwood. The tree that the wood comes from is found in Nepal, India, and Hawaii. The scent helps you focus your mind during meditation and prayer. Sandalwood instills peace and encourages spirituality. The scent of sandalwood is also an aphrodisiac.

It is a key component in my Smudge in Spray. I use it in my liquid blend because it is my intention that it be used in a prayerful way to invite the positive forces to be infused in that space where the clearing of energy is taking place.
