When working with crystals it is important to cleanse them before using them in order to remove any negative energy including other people’s energy. Cleansing your crystals by smudging (burning sage or other herbs) is just one way to remove the energy so there is room for positivity and clarity. This process is useful after an argument or if you feel bad vibes in your space, whether it’s your home or office. It’s always a good idea to clear out the old and bring in the fresh energy.
Indigenous people around the world have used smudging in ceremonial practices for thousands of years. It is used for spiritual cleansing as well as medicinal purposes and is a practical way to cleanse negative energy from a room, an object (like your crystals) or a person’s energy field. One thing you need to consider when smudging is your intention. Your mindset is a massive part of the process so keep your thoughts positive and your wishes and desires clear.
Keep in mind: Burning sage is a sacred religious practice in some Native American cultures. Treat the ritual with respect.
