Full moon period is the ideal time for energy clearing.

Rather than purchasing a smudge stick online or in a shop, I’d like you to consider making your own!

Why ? – Using your local herbs and plants is much more powerful to clear your aura and your home and adding your intent of respect is essential.

How to process?

1. Look in your garden or nearby park for trees, bushes or plants having antiseptic properties (Eucalyptus, Pine, Tea Tree, Lavender, etc…)
2. Ask permission to the plants to cut a few branches and explain what you are about to do with them. To many readers, this might seem strange to ‘ask permission to plants’ – to me, plants are alive and are happy to participate to what you are planning as long as they are respectfully involved. Ask yourself… How would you feel if someone comes and cuts your hair without warning, simply because you have long hair and this could make a wig for someone else? Same idea isn’t it.
3. Cut branches to your preferred dimension
4. Tie them with cotton leaving a little bit of space for air to flow between the branches/leaves, once lit, blow the flames out leaving smoke only. Let the stick dry for a few days or weeks depends on your local climate.

Smudge safely and with care!

Playing with fire always request common sense and care. Look around you, watch for kids and people and also at the environment where you will proceed with the cleansing and do so safely.

Ask your angels, guides, ancestors (or who you believe in) to accompany you and protect you during this ritual.

For body as well as for homes, the movement of the smoke FIRST goes anti-clockwise to clear and release the energies; then let the wind take away the negative energies that you just released. After a few moments, process then in a clockwise movement to protect body or/and building.

Before this full moon, I made my own and let them dry. I put cypress, lavender, rosemary and eucalyptus together as they were in my neighbourhood.

Last night in the full moon, I cleansed my aura. I slept very well and today, I feel great! Thank you dear local flora 🙂

I live in a quiet neighbourhood, the energies here are pure and kind. For those of you living in a busy polluted and noisy environment, I am prepared to sell you those that I made here with love and respect. Email me (through my website) for further info.

Space Clearing Tools & Ideas

Always start your Clearing Ritual by protecting yourself – and – at the end of it, cut off the energy link – for example by washing your hands.

Prayer
The power of prayer is undeniable.  Make a prayer that you can say that blesses the space and those who occupy it as you walk from room to room.  It is important to be in the space of love as you do this.  Imagine the energy/intention of your words pouring through the space and transmuting any lower energy into high vibrating loving energy.

Smudging
Can be used in conjunction with prayer.  Fill the space with the smouldering herb smoke, perhaps using a feather to move it around.  Sage, Cedar, Sweetgrass, Eucalyptus are all used by indigenous cultures to move unwanted energies on.

Incense
Is excellent to maintain the energies of a space by burning regularly between clearings.

Bells/Chant/Music
Sound has long been associated with enhancing and cleansing energies and can be utilized with the same action and intention as prayer.

Crystals
If you already love using these gifts from the earth then include them in your ceremony and place them around the space wherever you feel they need to be.

Whatever tools you choose, the most important thing for you to remember is to allow your intuition or feelings to guide you and be clear in your intention of what it is you want to achieve.  Try a few different ways and do what works for you, there is no right and wrong.

The safest way to clear a space is playing Jaroslav Kovaricek “Feng Shui Acoustics” CD, you don’t even have to be at home, it does it for you!

We ultimately have the greatest influence over our environment and the practice of good space clearing must always begin with us.  Start by checking your own energy.  How do you feel?  It’s all about learning how we feel about ourselves and that flows into our environment.  Get in touch with it.  The more you do it, the more you will feel it.  Good luck.
