PURE ZEN SaltCo Californian White Sage Smudge Stick 14cm

The Pure Zen Smudge Stick is made from authentic, widcrafted, sustainably harvested, Californian white sage. 

Native American Indian cultures traditionally used smudge sticks in spiritual ceremonial practices. The burning of smudge sticks is called 'smudging'. Smudging is used to cleanse a person, place or objects of negative energies, spirits or influences. We have had a little smudging ritual with our children every time we have moved into a new home. It's a lovely way to clear out the energy of previous families and 'make it your own'. Our girls still have fond memories of each ceremony ( even though they thought I was a little strange at the time!) It's a special beginning for a new chapter in a new home.

DIRECTIONS The easiest way to light a smudge stick is to hold the top of it over a candle flame, or ignite over a ceramic bowl or abalone shell containing sand. Once alight, blow out the flame to allow the stick to smolder. To extinguish, place the lit end of the stick in the sand. As smudge sticks emit small amounts of smoke, limit use around children, pregnancy and those with breathing problems. Never leave smudge sticks unattended.

CLEANSING RITUAL To cleanse/smudge yourself or others, fan the smoke over your body, front and back. Smudge rooms by walking around its perimeter paying attention to corners and behind doors. Constantly fan the smudge stick as you walk. Cleanse crystals and other objects by fanning the smoke over them.
