• Call on the spirits of the smudge to cleanse and protect you, saying:
• Sacred herbs, remove all negativity from my heart; cleanse me, bless me."
• First waft the smoke towards your heart. Hold the vessel away from you
• and use the feather to waft the smoke towards you. Then take the smudge
• smoke over your head, down your arms and down the front of your body.
• Imagine the smoke lifting away all the negative thoughts, emotions and
• energies that have attached themselves to you.
• Now bring the smoke down the back of your body towards the ground.

• away into the air.
• Go through each room and in clockwise fashion circle and waft the smoke about, seeing it exit the window or door, along with any "bad" energy.
