SAGING YOUR NEW HOME living yoga off the mat

You’ve bought your new home and are about to move in. One of the first things you should consider is saging your new home. What is “Saging” (also called “smudging”)? Saging has its roots in Native American traditions. It is a way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies or influences. Simply burn the dry herbs, and set an intention to clear your house of any lingering negative energy.

You can find dry, white sage at any Metaphysical store, online or at your local farmers market. (The sage you’ll use for smudging isn’t the kind you pick up in the produce section of your local grocery store.)

Before beginning, walk around every space and corner you can. When you go around the house, open windows, and any doors in your house (closet and to the outside).

Then, place your sage into a fireproof bowl. Burn a candle and set an intention, and then light the sage using the candle. Then blow out the candle, so the embers are glowing. (You can choose to sage yourself prior to saging your house.)

Focus on your living spaces, as that’s where vulnerability comes from. Start on the lowest level of your space and move from room to room. Use your hand to waft the smoke into all four corners, where the ceiling and walls meet. Also, your bedroom is important to sage because you want to get good sleep and positive dreams!

Burn regularly to ensure purity and balance, not just after moving into your new home. But, in order to ensure you can use the sage again, make sure you extinguish it in dirt or sand, or concrete. Don’t use water! You won’t be able to use it again.
