Spring Cleanse Challenge #13 - Smudge Away!

The element of fire has the ability to destroy, transform, light, and warm anything in its path. Smudging can connect you to your resilient spirit and clear negative energy in your life. 

To begin, gather a candle, matches, and a smudge (palo santo or sage). Sit comfortably in a quiet space and recite a prayer that casts a circle of protection around you and only welcomes that which lovingly supports your healing and growth. Light a candle and then light your smudge from the candle flame. 

Gently fan out your smudge until it starts to smoke and breath it in. Slowly wave the smoke over your body, from the ground up, and in a complete circle. Allow old anger, unresolved conflicts, or any physical/energetic/mental disturbances to be lifted and transformed by the smoke. 

Integrate and close with a grounding meditation of gratitude. Imagine the flame of the candle filling you with light and goodness.
