Prayers to say when Smudging

Prayers to Say When Smudging

I receive so many questions asking me about what to sat when smudging that I decided to dedicate smudging prayers to their own article. These smudging affirmations can be the serenity prayer,  words from a religious book like psalms, Native American prayers, spiritual prayers or a special affirmation of intentions that you feel strongly about. Pick one that resonates with you and say this smudging prayer out loud. My only suggestion is that you replace any negative energy that is being removed with a positive one.

Never be Afraid of the Unknown Energies Around You

I received an email from someone looking for information on smudging which caused me to write today's article.  My article How and When to Smudge  explains all about smudging your home, what to use to smudge and has pictures and video. 

After you smudge you will feel peace and bliss in the house. But for those of you that are hearing voices or seeing wisps of energy flying around your home, you may still hear or sense other energy, even after you smudge.

Why?

You may be going through an "Awakening." 

With the new energies that are coming in, the veil is getting thinner and some of those energies maybe your guides trying to communicate with you.

Not all energy and spirits are negative. Don't be afraid if you are becoming more aware as the illusion of the 2-by-2 starts to fade. Yes of course smudge away any lower vibrational energy, but know that energy is all around us filling in the smallest spaces in our environment. And it's not all bad.

Blessings to you this day,

Moving Forward after a Breakup

Have you ever had a relationship that didn't turn out well? I think that over the years we have all had those types of experiences.  I certainly have.  I’ve receive a lot of questions regarding moving forward after a relationship and thought it was time I wrote about it. First of all I want you to know that if you are not with the right person, then move on. You DESERVE to be with someone who knows that you are a Goddess and treats you accordingly.

You can't see it, but I am shaking my finger back and forth as I say this! -  If they don't cherish you like the Goddess you are, then they need to go!

Cleansing your Space and Personal Energy

First, it’s always a good idea to "smudge" your home and yourself after you breakup with someone. Doing so clears their energy pattern from your space. Don't know how to smudge?  You can come up with your own words, but saying goodbye to your ex-s energy in a loving way is what I have done. Wish them well as they leave your space. Want more information? Click Here for a Complete Smudging Ceremony and more excerpts from the Smudging for Beginners: Secrets from a Professional. From experience, I can tell you that when you're finished, you space feels good, clean and upbeat. 

Why am I Feeling Drained for No Reason?

#supernatural #ghosts #tl #spirits #inspiration #motivation #worthiness #truth #smudging

Do you ever feel drained for absolutely no reason?  When Ghosts pay a visit.

I make my living writing and if I cannot get motivated to write, then I am out of business, if you know what I mean. I was recently in a place for a month in seclusion working and sleeping in the same area, as I attempted to complete a project.  I felt drained, lethargic and couldn't seem to get the energy to accomplish my task. If you know me, this is not in character.  

It took me about 2 weeks to figure out what was going on. 

How to Smudge, When to Smudge

Smudging for Beginners answers many questions like:

I answer your smudging questions that you put in the comments section. 

When to Smudge, How to Smudge
Today I want to provide you with a good overview of the definition of smudging, a little smudging history, instructions on how to smudge your home, how to smudge a person, prayers to say when smudging, smudging kit materials and their significance and what to expect to feel when smudging and perform a clearing ceremony. There are also many questions and comments received that I have answered at the bottom of the article.  

What is Smudging?

Smudging is a way to purify a location, object or person(s) by burning sacred plants. 

Why We Smudge   Smudging techniques
Native Americans traditionally smudged as the initialization of a ritual, but many cultures have used their own form of cleansing for centuries. Some cultures continue this ritual today, like the incense you see them burning in the isles of church at Easter as a vehicle to  cleanse the space and people in it and send prayers to God.

We smudge to cleanse and clear ourselves, we smudge to clear our homes of negative energy, whether the negative energy comes after interaction with negative people, an ex-husband or boyfriend and we smudge to send prayers to the heavens. Over the centuries we smudge to send people to the afterlife and we smudge to  banish unwanted spirits and bad vibes  As I say, maybe you just want to rid  your space of that crummy energy from your ex boyfriend. It happens! 

Smudging Materials

When people today think about smudging, they typically envision white sage leaves bound with string into a small bundle, called a smudge stick.  For the beginner, I would suggest considering purchasing a Smudging starter kit. Here's a link to one that I found for you that may be helpful (Starter Smudge Kit).  Here's a quick smudging materials list:

• A smudge stick 
• A lighter or candle
• A shell or dish 
• A feather (optional)
• Salt (I prefer pure Himalayan salt)
• Anointing Oil (I use a mix with Rose oil, since Rose has a very high vibration.-Optional) 
• Stones/Gems (optional)
