Smudging your sacred space, your home or office, or even your body with sage is like taking an energetic shower or doing a deep metaphysical cleansing.
The smoke from dried sage actually changes the ionic composition of the air and can have a direct effect on reducing our stress response.
Smudging is ritual alchemy — changing and shifting the air element and transforming our current experience to a mystical one.
The use of incense and other smoke and vapor to connect humans to the spirit world can be easily traced throughout the East in parts of Asia and even dates as far back as Ancient Greece.

The use of dried white sage, however, is a 2,000-year-old Indigenous American practice. The Shamans used dried sage plants on their fires as a ritual of calling upon ancestral spirits.
Any conflict, anger, illness, or evil was absorbed by the sage smoke to be released or cleansed from the energy field of a person.
Next, sweetgrass would be burned to call forth the energy of peace and love. This ancient shamanic mystical ritual is a simple one to incorporate into your daily or weekly routine, or any time you feel like you might need a little aura polishing.

If you’re feeling stuck, negative, sluggish, or even downright depressed, it may be due to some stagnant energy in your field.
Your field can include your emotional, energetic, mental, spiritual, or physical body and your environment—whether it’s your home, office, or other physical space.
Stagnant or negative energy can have extremely detrimental effects on your mental and physical state and is even believed to manifest into things like a lack of happiness and success as well as pain and disease.
Smudging can help combat this negativity, clear the energy in your field, and help you start anew.
