What is Smuding?
A modern-day practice of burning sage (or sage combined with other dried herbs)
in personal smudging rituals and ceremonies is based on a combination of the spiritual,
medicinal, herbal and cultural teachings of the past.
Essentially, a smudge ritual or a smudge ceremony is performed to correct the energy in a
home, in an office, in an object, or even in a person. This is accomplished by burning
sage or sage and a combination of herbs, in a focused, intentional way to cleanse out
negative energy and to replenish positive, healing energy.
Here are some examples of times when it is helpful to carry out a
House Smudging to clear, cleanse, and balance the energy of your entire
home:
When someone new moves into the home to
live with current members of the household, bringing their possessions
(possibly their children and/or their pets) into the space.
Following the completion of a major home improvement project.
Following a divorce or separation, where
one party has moved all of their possessions out of the mutual home and
into a new home of their own.
At the time of a major "life-change" for
anyone who lives in the home (such as the birth of a child, a major
career change, children leaving home for college or to live on their
own, retirement, diagnosis of a chronic illness, etc.)
Following a serious illness or death of someone (or a cherished family pet) who has lived in the home.
Following a natural disaster (like an earthquake, fire or flood)
