Step-by-Step Home Cleansing Rituals

If negative energy has been weighing you down, white sage is your ultimate ally for cleansing and rejuvenating your space!

  1. Set Your Intention
    Begin by declaring your purpose—focus on clearing negative energy and inviting positive vibrations into your home. Take a moment to centre yourself and visualise the energy transformation you desire.
  2. Gather Your Smudging Tools
    Collect your white sage smudge stick or loose white sage, along with a Palo Santo stick if you choose. Have a fireproof dish or bowl ready to safely extinguish your smudge stick later. These tools are essential for cleansing your home and creating a sacred space.
  3. Light Your Sacred Herbs
    Ignite your white sage or Palo Santo stick until it catches flame. Allow it to burn for a few seconds before gently blowing out the flame so that the herb smoulders and produces a steady stream of cleansing smoke.
  4. Smudge Each Room
    Starting at your front door, walk clockwise through your home, allowing the sacred smoke to permeate every corner, doorway, and crevice. Use a feather or your hand to guide the smoke, ensuring all areas are enveloped by its purifying energy.
  5. Cleanse Personal Items
    If you have objects like tarot cards, crystals, or cherished personal items, pass each one through the smoke to clear any negative energy they may have absorbed. This step is key to maintaining the vibrational purity of your sacred tools.
  6. Conclude the Ritual
    Once every room has been smudged, return to your starting point to close the ritual. Express gratitude for the cleansing process and carefully extinguish your smudge stick in a fireproof dish, ensuring all embers are fully put out.

Follow these step-by-step home cleansing rituals to effectively smudge your home, clear negative energy, and create a balanced, energetically vibrant sanctuary.
