Happy New Year you guys!
It's January 1st,
2024 and I wanted to bring you a smudge for the new year.
I love smudging my home whenever I feel like I need a refresh or just to slough off the old and I love doing this for the new year.
So it being the first day of the new year out with the old and in with the new.
So we're gonna go ahead and start off by gathering our smudge sticks of choice or smudge bundles.
You could use sage,
Palo santo,
Incense,
Whatever you decide.
And first things first,
We're gonna set our intentions on to this bundle or this stick that you're gonna use.
That could sound something like this.
With respect and reverence to this ancient tradition,
I command any negative energy lingering behind to leave through open space.
I command low vibrational energy to catch the wave of smoke and float out of the doors and windows.
Personally,
I like to use verbiage that helps me visualize what I'm asking because this solidifies it further for me.
So envisioning the negative vibrational energies just floating on that smoke out the windows and doors,
It's perfect for me.
So also what I like to do is I like to consecrate my space with good intentions and what wishes that I wish to bring into my home this year.
So this could sound something like this.
I ask the divine to bless this home,
Bringing abundance in health,
Happiness,
And stability.
I ask for your beautiful energy to wash over my family every time we step through our threshold.
I respectfully thank you for your love and protection.
And so it is.
So after you've set your intentions,
Go ahead and make sure you've opened doors and windows throughout your home because you do want a place for this to exit.
You're gonna light your smudge stick and you're going to walk through your home in a clockwise direction.
And this clockwise direction brings in more positivity.
But to be honest,
You guys,
Any sort of intention that you set with this,
It does not have to be perfect.
Just as long as you are with your heart,
That's all that matters.
So since you've already sent your intentions,
All that you have to say while moving from room to room is out with the old and in with the new.
Out with the old and in with the new.
And so after you've gone through your entire home,
Place your smudge stick in a glass bowl so it can burn itself out safely.
I like to place both my hands over the smoke when it's in the bowl and just say one last time,
Out with the old and in with the new.
And so it is.
So if you guys want to go a little bit further on your little witchy vibes,
You could also lay down some salt into your doorway and you could also blow cinnamon into your home.
So by standing in your doorway,
Place a little bit of cinnamon in your hand and you can speak out the intentions if you want to get more specific with it and then just blow it.
So I hope that you guys enjoyed this and I hope that this makes you feel like you're bringing more abundance and happiness into your beautiful home,
Into this beautiful year,
For your beautiful family.
And let me know if you guys enjoyed it.
So I hope you have a wonderful new year.
Bless up you guys.
Bye.
