The 7 Benefits of Smudging
Have you ever wondered why some people burn sticks all around their house? This practice is commonly known as smudging (also saging). Smudging is a way to cleanse a space to invite in positive energy, while releasing negative energy.
The smoke fills and purifies the environment. As the smoke ascends, personal intentions enter into the universe, connecting humans to the earth and heavens.
Ancient rituals like smudging are beneficial to clear the negative energy around you, as well as release energy trapped inside you. Strong emotions, trauma, and stress can become trapped in the body leading to all sorts of health issues, like infertility, adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, and poor digestion. Living in a toxic home can also add fuel to the fire.
In addition to releasing trapped energy, there are 7 wonderful benefits of smudging:
Improve mood
Ease insomnia
Promote healing and wisdom
Treat digestive issues
Minimize memory problems
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve air quality
Make sure to set an intention before smudging to maximize the impact and align your vibration. Also, make sure to use quality plant materials so you don’t burn more chemicals with low energy vibrations in the air!
