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. \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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Smudge:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e You can use either a ready-made smudge bundle, make your own smudge bundle, or use loose herbs. Smokeless alternatives are also available and will be discussed a little later. To use loose herbs for smudging, you will need herb-burning charcoal discs as well as a dish to hold the burning herbs. Abalone shells are often used for this purpose, since they are sturdy and represent the element water. When a shell is used, the vibration of all four elements—earth, fire, air, and water—is present. (The dried herbs represent earth, the burning embers represent fire, and the smoke represents air.) When all four elements are working together, the cleansing effects are magnified.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e~Excerpted from \u003cem\u003eAll About Smudging\u003c\/em\u003e an 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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crystal Garden, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55040088277283,"sku":"WSB","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2320\/7459\/files\/45c145d0-IMG_3680.jpg?v=1778012088","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalgarden.com\/products\/white-sage-bundle-large","provider":"The Crystal Garden, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
