A new year always brings fresh energy and after the crazy year that has passed, this year’s energy seems stronger than ever. We’re reflecting on all the good that came out of the past year, but are also ready to leave the bad behind.
We’ve been hearing a lot about smudging lately. Smudging is a traditional ceremony common to Indigenous healing and shamanic traditions, used for purifying or cleansing negative energy. Every culture has its own way of smudging or clearing energy and healing on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Traditionally the elements of water, earth, light, and air are used. It’s a beautiful, in depth process. Some simply smudge by lighting a smudge stick (usually a bundle of herbs like sage) to create a smolder and guiding the smoke to specific parts of the home or parts of the body.
We’re not experts on this practice by any means but love the idea of using plant energy to clear away the negative—and we have essential oils that can do just that! Inspired by these ancient practices, we created this Smudge essential oil blend to diffuse, make into a roller or a spray to help clear away negative energy and make way for the new.
