how to sage your house for the first time
Hi Butterfly, I'm interested in saging my house but it's my first time. Can you guide me through the process?
Of course! I'm more than happy to help. The first thing you'll need is a sage smudging stick. Have you got one already?
Yes, I just bought one. What do I do with it?
Great! Begin by opening a few windows or doors to allow smoke to escape. Then, light the tip of your sage stick until it starts to smoke. Once it's smoking, set your intention for the cleansing.
What kind of intention should I set?
Think about what you wish to clear out. It could be negative energies, maintaining peace, or inviting positivity. After setting your intention, gently wave the stick around the edges of each room, especially the corners, and areas around doors and windows.
Do I need to say anything while I'm doing this?
Some people like to recite a prayer, affirmation, or simply repeat their intention out loud. It's really about what feels right for you. Remember to move mindfully and respectfully through your space.
How do I extinguish the stick safely when I'm done?
Once you've finished, you can either let the sage stick burn out in a safe, fireproof container or gently press the burning tip into sand or dirt to extinguish it. Make sure it's completely out before leaving it unattended.
Thanks for all the help, Butterfly. I feel ready to sage my house now.
You're welcome! Enjoy the renewed energy in your home. If you have any more questions, just flutter them my way!
