The smoke from dried sage actually changes the ionic composition of the air, and can have a direct effect on reducing our stress response.

•Before / after a yoga or healing session
•Before meditation
•After an argument or any illness

How do a smudge & cleanse my space / myself?
light the bundle by holding a flame to it until it begins to smoke. If a true flame appears, shake the bundle gently or blow until it is just embers and smoke. You may need to re-light the bundle a few times.
Once you have a nice smoke going, use your hand or a feather to direct the smoke over your body from your feet up to your head, then back down again. As you do this, visualize the smoke taking away with it any negative energy from your life.
As you use the sage you may even like to say words out loud such as; “I dispel all negativity from my being / my space and replace only with positive things”
Once you have smudged your body, begin to move through your space. Wave the smoke into all corners, across doorways and into shadow spaces. To maintain the atmosphere of ritual, keep repeating your words in your mind as you diffuse the smoke.
Once the space is cleared, allow the sage to either burn out or gently press it out.
Sage will leave you and your environment feeling clean, calm and emotionally de cluttered.
