Smudging with sage has long been a sacred ceremonial method of cleansing your mind,
body, and spirit. There are so many benefits of smudging, including improving your mood,
clarity of mind, and better overall health. One of the biggest benefits of smudging with sage is its
ability to cleanse a person or a space of negative energy. Sometimes we experience situations where
there is a spiritual energy that we do not want around us. Smudging the space can be a
peaceful and a very powerful way to remove it. Whenever you feel the energy of your space
needs to be cleansed or balanced out, or simply when you feel that something might be off about
a space that you occupy, smudging is a perfect solution for getting rid of that negative energy.
But how do you actually do this? We've helped thousands of people learn how to smudge with
sacred medicines and we've put together a list of eight amazing tips on how to get
rid of negative energy by smudging with sage. Okay guys, so let's get into this. By using
these eight tips, you can start smudging with sage to remove negative energy and invite in
positivity, gratitude, and self-awareness. The first tip to get rid of negative energy
by smudging with sage is to recognize the good in everything. While negativity can take
over our minds and lives quickly, acknowledging that not everything is bad can really help the
smudging process. Focusing on the positive, recognizing the good in your life, and focusing
your mind away from the negatives can help refocus the energy in your space as you smudge.
The second tip to remove negative energy by smudging with sage
is to know the history of the land you live on. Understanding the history of the land you occupy
can really help you identify where any negativity might be coming from. Depending on the history
of the land, there might be lingering energy that needs help being released from the space.
The third tip to get rid of negative energy by smudging with sage is to open your doors
and windows if you are indoors. Creating air flow throughout your space can help the energy
exit the environment and invite in new energy. Sometimes if you have a powerful amount of smoke
coming off your sacred medicines and you're smudging indoors, letting the fresh air in
will prevent your space from getting too smoky. The fourth tip to remove negative energy by
smudging with sage is to create a morning routine. Incorporating smudging into your morning routine
can help establish the energy in your space for the entire day. Start the day with good
positive intentions, and that energy will stick with you throughout your entire day. The more
awareness and gratitude you established first thing, the more positive energy you will attract.

The fifth tip to get rid of negative energy by smudging with sage is to prepare carefully.
The intention behind your smudge is just as important as the process itself. Make
sure you are in a positive frame of mind, that you're focused, and that you're fully prepared.
Have all of the materials that you need such as your smudging bundle, have these already assembled
so that you can focus on smudging carefully and intentionally, and then not feel rushed.
The sixth tip to remove negative energy by smudging with sage is to use a smudge prayer.
If you feel weighted down by specific energy or presence, you can recite prayers that help
that presence leave your space. This will direct the focus of your smudging ceremony
and help the spirit or energy leave your space. If you don't know what your smudge prayer should be,

The seventh tip to get rid of negative energy by smudging with sage is to let the medicine burn out
on its own. Let your smudge stick or bowl burn out naturally. This elongates the process and allows
the smudging ritual to come to a more natural and uninterrupted completion. When the time is right,
the smoke will go out and you can feel at ease knowing that the process is completed correctly.
The eighth tip to remove negative energy by smudging with sage is to consult an elder or a
knowledge keeper. If you need additional guidance or you feel that you need some extra support
with your smudging ceremonies, you can consult an elder or a knowledge keeper
who can offer you further advice. They'll be able to help you with specific situations
regarding special sacred medicines to use or life lessons that they've learned throughout their life
for smudging or other sacred teachings to clear out any negative energy or presence.
It's important to note that when you're asking an elder to offer you wisdom, that you then need to
give them or offer them tobacco as a sign of respect. It is a traditional practice and protocol
to offer an elder or a knowledge keeper tobacco as a form of respect and appreciation and gratitude
for the wisdom that they are providing to you. If you're looking for tips on how to smudge a
