Sage smudging is an ancient Native American tool for cleansing a space, object, person, or really just about anything. White Sage is most commonly used as it has the most pleasing scent.
HOW TO BURN IT
The directions are simple; think of it as a giant stick of incense. Simply pull back string (if any) and light the leaf tips with a candle, match, or lighter. Allow it to burn for a few seconds, the blow it out. The edged of the leave should glow softly and release a fragrant smoke. Holding it over an abalone shell (traditional) or plate to catch any falling embers, waft the smoke over the object to be cleased, say a prayer or incantation if you feel you need to. When cleansing a room be sure your doors and windows are open to allow any bad energies to escape, and always start in the center and work your way out. Don't for get the corners!

HOW IT WORKS: MYTHOLOGY
Sage is used to cleanse negative energies and vibrations. It is also said that the scent drives away malicious spirits and demons.
HOW IT WORKS: SCIENCE
When burned, sage releases large amounts negatively charged ions into the air. These bond to positively charged ions already in the air produced by power lines, cell phones, TVs, and other electronics. The positive and negative charges neutralize each other, cleansing the energy in the air.
An excess of positive ions as been found to cause damage to cells in the human body, effect brain function, and cause feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression by raising seritonin levels in scientific studies. So, while people may be skeptical of burning this wild-growing herb, sage does literally cleanse the energy!
