Each ingredient is considered a sacred herb used for centuries by Native Americans in the “smudging” ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen and Why to Smudge Yourself or Your Space \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 arises, or there are general feelings of agitation and frustration. 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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e~Excerpted from\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-About-Smudging-Margaret-Lembo-ebook\/dp\/B0063I5TEA\/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAll About Smudging\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ean eBook by\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.margaretannlembo.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMargaret Ann Lembo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Designs by Deekay Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55040167772451,"sku":"SGPAT","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2320\/7459\/files\/55f625d8-High-Desert-Smudge-Stick-with-Patchouli.png?v=1781195709","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalgarden.com\/products\/high-desert-sage-smudge-stick-with-patchouli","provider":"The Crystal Garden, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
