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.
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.
