How to Use a White Sage Smudge Stick

1. Set a Clear Intention

Because sage is strong, intention is essential. Example: “I release all energies that no longer serve me and invite peace, clarity, and protection.”

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.”
