Smudging is a traditional practice that has been used for centuries and is a popular tool in many spiritual communities today. It is a simple yet powerful way to reset and refresh energy and create a peaceful atmosphere by burning herbs or incense and releasing the smoke that carries away any old negative energy and invites in new, positive energy. Smudging can be used for various purposes, from cleansing your home to healing your body, mind, and spirit. In this blog post, we’ll explore smudging, how it works, why it’s important, and tips on how to smudge correctly.
Join me to learn about smudging and explore the various herbs used for this purpose.
