When I helped my daughter-in-law smudge her new place with a white sage & lavender blend before she moved in, it was a great experience! Clear Your Space & Aura
The only mistake we made was not opening enough windows. It was hot that day, and for some reason, several wasps were flying around all the windows. It was weird.

Additionally, the screens needed to be replaced and had already been removed, leaving only two windows with screens. We didn’t want any wasps flying in, “Eeek,” so we only opened the two windows with screens. Clear Your Space & Aura
We thought, oh well, we’ll be fine.
Nope, we definitely needed more windows open.
We both felt loopy the rest of the day after catching a buzz from the sage smoke. “HA”!
Make sure you have good ventilation when smudging.
Clearing your space & aura, also known as smudging, is an ancient practice. And is considered to be effective!
When we live with an autoimmune condition, it can be stressful at times, and we end up carrying that stress in our aura/body.
Smudging is an excellent way to clear and release negative & stagnant energies from your space & aura.
Then you can invite in fresh, new, positive energy. Clear

Clear Your Space and Aura
Reasons to Clear Stagnant Energy
Energy from people and objects can leave impressions of themselves in spaces like your home, office, and car.
Also, negative stagnant energy can stay trapped in your aura. It’s essential to regularly clear these areas to make room for new, fresh, vibrant energy.
Best times to smudge include:
- Before you move into a new home or office.
- During and after any bad relationship.
- While dealing with health/autoimmune problems
- After the death of a loved one.
- When a traumatic or damaging event happens.
- While feeling depressed or sad.
- During and after an illness.
- When buying a new car ~ especially a used car.
- Monthly energy maintenance is good too!
The most important thing about clearing energy is your intention. When clearing, you can visualize the old stagnant energy leaving the area while inviting fresh, new, positive energy in.

Supplies Before You Begin!
White sage is the most popular sage for smudging. It’s associated with purity and has a strong presence, but you can also use other varieties.
Common varieties include White, Black, and Red sage; Cedar; Rosemary; Lavender; and Juniper.
Although keep in mind that some people are sensitive to smoke, and burning herbs can be a little overpowering.
If the smoke bothers you, there are other options, such as using sound, diffusing essential oils, or using a smudging spray.

Steps for Smudging
- For best results, clear your home/space before clearing your aura.
- Set your intention & meditate to clear and focus your mind.
- Hold the sage at an angle, and light one end. Let it burn for about 20 seconds, then let the flame die out and smolder. (Watch for falling embers.)
- Starting on the lowest level and left corner, walk through every room, working in a clockwise fashion until you reach the top level.
- Use a feather or your hand to fan the smoke throughout the room while reciting your mantra.
- Be sure to reach the corners of every room, all mirrors, doors, windows, and the inside of closets and cabinets.
- Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and points of entry and exit.
- As you are smudging, thank your Higher Power for helping and protecting you.

When using sage to clear yourself, you will follow the same steps you used (above) for clearing a space, but the focus will be on your body instead of your Space.
- Stand in the shape of a T with legs slightly spread apart and your arms out to the sides.
- Keeping the sage stick away from your body, start at either foot, work your way up and over your head, and then back down and off the opposite foot.
- Passing the sage to the other hand, on the way down the opposite side of the body - Repeat if necessary!
- Saying your mantra as you go. “Fill my aura with unconditional love” or “Release all negative energy from my aura.”
- Imagine your aura being cleared of stagnant, negative energy.
