Smudging
Saging aka smudging is where dried sage leaves are burned, and the smoke removes negative energy (cleansing and purifying the space or person). ... It's believed that the smoke from the sage attaches to the negative energy and carries it to the Great Spirit.
When doing this loosen up the sage bundle by pressing it firmly on a flat surface so air can ventilate through out the bundle to keep the sage burning. Most sage is blessed and programmed for a certain purpose or work. Before burning your sage bless it yourself and set your intention. Be sure to open the window or door to let the negative energy out of the space your trying to cleanse. When lighting the sage make sure to hold the sage stick at a 45 degree angle when lighting it to ensure you get a good flame.
