​If you have ever wondered what is incense smudging, you're not alone. Millions of people around the world practice this ancient ritual as a way to keep negative energies at bay. Read on to discover more about this ancient practice and why it's so popular.

First of all, smudging is a practice of preparing a space for ritual and meditation. This practice can help create a positive energy in a room, which can then be used in rituals.

​Smudging is a spiritual practice that involves passing cleansing herbal smoke to purify and create a 'sacred' space. This practice has been used for centuries to cleanse objects and ourselves. Smudging is done by lighting various dried herbs such as sage, cedar, sweet grass, lavender and so on… and then fanning them to direct the resulting smoke towards the item, person, space or object that is being cleansed.

The process of smudging is also used to cleanse the air in an area. For instance, a priest or a spiritual practitioner may use incense to purify a room or an entire property. 

In addition to smudging a space, you can also smudge specific objects. This technique is beneficial when purchasing a new home or gift, or even second-hand items. Any object can be smudged, whether it's a mobile phone, a laptop, or a brand new or for that matter even a used car!

The process of smudging involves burning raw herbs or incense in a sacred ritual. These herbs are often wrapped in a wand-like bundle and fanned with the help of a feather. The ash is collected in a fireproof vessel underneath, and the purpose of smudging should be clearly defined and specific. If you're uncertain of how to begin, it is best to consult a spiritual guide to determine which herbs and spices are appropriate for your practice.

While smudging is a relatively simple practice, it is extremely powerful.
