How to Use a White Sage Smudge Stick
1. Set a Clear Intention
Because sage is strong, intention is essential.

2. Light the Sage
    •    Light the tip of the smudge stick
    •    Let it burn for 10–20 seconds
    •    Gently blow out the flame so it smolders
Use a fireproof bowl or shell underneath.

3. Cleanse the Space or Yourself
To cleanse a space:
    •    Walk slowly around the room
    •    Let smoke reach corners, doorways, mirrors, and windows
    •    Open a window to allow released energy to leave
To cleanse yourself:
    •    Waft smoke around your body
    •    Move from feet → heart → head
    •    Focus on areas where you feel heaviness

4. Close & Ground
    •    Extinguish the sage safely
    •    Take a few deep breaths
    •    Follow with grounding (cedar, palo santo, or crystals)
This step is important so the space doesn’t feel “empty.”
