Transcript

Before we begin this smudging prayer and affirmation,

I'd like you to just gather yourself,

Become mindful of your emotions and your state of mind.

Take a long breath in and let the breath go.

If you need to take a few breaths,

Just pausing this audio and then resuming when you are ready to.

When you are ready to begin,

Find yourself in the middle of the space,

House,

Room,

Wherever you are.

Become mindful of your emotions and your mind frame.

If you are currently feeling angry,

Frustrated,

You've got lots of tension inside,

You might need to do a little meditation just to realign these emotions.

You want to be in a neutral state of mind here.

You can come back to this when you are ready.

If you are ready however,

Find the energy of the room.

How does it feel?

Notice the lighting and the blinds drawn if you are in a room.

Is there any breeze?

Is it warm or cold?

Is there any signs or feelings of heaviness?

Just assess all of these things,

Whether it's a house and hole or maybe it's just a space or a room.

You can reflect on this throughout the whole house and each room if you'd like to.

For now we'll keep moving on.

What is your intention here?

If you've chosen this smudging prayer to release any negative emotions of your house or yourself or any negative energies,

Perhaps you feel like you've got some things or perhaps you believe in ghosts or any past life people still hanging around.

It could be anything or none of these.

Become aware of your intention and keep that intention in mind when we do begin.

Ensure that you are mentally and emotionally stable to do so.

What you'll need is preferably some white sage or palo santo,

Both the great cleansing and clearing tools.

The white sage generally cleanses all energy,

Whereas palo santo only cleanses the negative energy and welcomes in the good energy.

So you can use either or both.

I generally use both.

You'll need a bowl to catch the ashes when we do light these little tools.

You can use simply a plate,

Perhaps a bowl or shell,

Anything just big enough to catch the ash.

In this bowl or plate you might want to carry around some water or even some sand in it.

That way we can put out a lit palo santo or sage.

So far we have our sage and or our palo santo,

A bowl,

We'll also need a candle,

Some matches or some form of lighting device.

I generally like to light a candle because it's generally an added aroma.

It's often used in meditations and so forth and it has just a beautiful energy compared to matches or a lighter.

So preferably a candle.

This is my personal preference.

So once you've got those things,

You may also want a smudging wand.

I just use my hands and what I do is once I've lit my tools,

So my sage or palo santo,

I use my hand in a fingers together position and I just start to sway my hand over the smoke.

Now often if you're carrying your plate or bowl around with you,

You won't have this bare hand.

So just keep the bowl nearby if you do want to use a waving wand.

And another good idea is you might want some quartz or some sort of crystal on you as a little protection device.

This is just an extra option.

The next main or big point is wanting to do this in daylight.

So preferably not to do it at night time because you want the windows and the doors open and all the blinds open as well.

We're trying to bring in as much light as we can.

So if you need to pause this now,

Just get ready.

Get all of these tools.

So you've got your sage or palo santo,

A bowl filled with water or sand,

A candle or similar.

Perhaps you'd like a smudging wand or sorts,

Anything else that you think you might need.

So your house is open,

The blinds are open,

Windows are open in each room if you can.

And it's a great idea to open all of your cupboards if you've moved into a new place and you really want a clean,

Fresh feeling.

It's a great idea to have all spots of the house clearly free of any clutter.

If you're in the kitchen,

You might even want to open all drawers,

Cupboards,

So forth.

So again,

If you need to pause,

Do so and we'll begin.

So find yourself in the centre of your room or house.

If you're wanting to do the whole house,

Find quite a central location there.

Start by ensuring you've got your intention in mind.

We'll start by noticing all points of the house,

All of room.

If it's a house or space,

Start by noticing the east side if you're familiar,

Then the south,

The west and the north.

Now with this wand,

Raising it up with it a lit.

Notice the smoke and the embers and just patting it on the bowl or near the bowl if you need to let go of any embers.

We want to start at the lowest level of your space or house.

So if you have two stories,

Start downstairs.

And the affirmation goes like this.

I bring in white light from source or the universe to protect myself and the space around me.

Perhaps twirling yourself around,

Smoking yourself and your body from head to toe.

And you can repeat this affirmation.

I bring in white light from source and or the universe to protect myself and the space around me.

If you're in a room,

Start to go to each corner with the protection of this white light beaming from within and around me.

With the power of this smudging smoke,

I release all negative energies and emotions within and around me.

All negative energies and emotions that do not serve my highest good.

Allowing all of that energy and power to cleanse this room or space.

And if you want to do a more thorough cleanse of your home,

Go into each room and you can repeat this affirmation.

Now I'll repeat it for you here now three times.

Pausing whenever you need to to go into the next room or area.

Take a deep breath in.

Let the breath go.

Find your intention.

I bring in white light from source to protect myself and the space around me.

With the protection of this white light beaming from within and around me.

When with the power of this smudging smoke,

I release all negative energies and emotions within and around me that do not serve my highest good.

Pausing here if you need to.

And know that you can always change these words to suit you or your space better.

Again,

When you're ready.

I bring in white light to protect myself and the space around me.

With the protection of this white light beaming from within and around me.

And with the power of this smudging smoke,

I release all negative energies and emotions within and around me.

I release all negative energies and emotions that do not serve my highest good.

Notice any subtle or perhaps loud changes.

Maybe a breeze coming through.

Maybe any heaviness or a sense of lightness and clarity.

Stay really mindful here.

Perhaps you are ready to cleanse another room.

If so,

You can repeat that first affirmation about white light.

And just keep note,

You don't actually have to repeat that one every time.

But I find the more I say it,

The more white light and protective energy I bring in.

So here we go again.

I bring in white light from source to protect myself and the space around me.

With the protection of this white light beaming from within and around me.

And with the power of this smudging smoke,

I release all negative energies and emotions within and around me.

I let go of all negative energies and emotions that do not serve my highest good.

Sensing the presence.

If you have any more rooms to do,

Feel free to rewind wherever you need to.

Perhaps you can remember it off by heart.

I hope you have a nice sense of cleansing within yourself and around.

And just to end your smudging prayer,

It's a great idea to thank source and or the universe,

Whatever you believe in here.

Just thank them and this white light that protects you.

Find gratitude from within.

Thank you,

Source,

For protecting me and continuing to do so each and every day.

Namaste.
