Smudge — Blog — Kristy M. Ayala, M.A.Kristy M. Ayala, M.A.

I love reading round up’s and favorites from people that I follow; so I thought you might like to see 5 things that I’m loving right now too. These aren’t in any particular order; I’m loving all of them and I hope that they’ll offer you some support too.

Love,

Blue Light Blocking Glasses

These glasses filter the harmful blue light that emanates from the screens we use all day long. Every day around 5:00 pm my eyes were bright red and painful and no matter how many breaks I was taking it wasn’t enough. Since I started wearing these glasses I no longer experience burning and watery eyes. I’ve also noticed that it’s easier for me to wind down at the end of the day since that blue light stimulates your brain making it hard to rest and relax.

I’m loving them so much I have two pairs; I keep one pair next to my bed and the other pair next to my computer. You can find these at any big box type store or online. They tend to range from $16-$19 and come in a variety of styles for men and women.

Energy Medicine Book

If you’ve ever wanted to understand How and Why Energy Treatments work, this book gives you all of the information you’ve been wondering about and includes Physics, Quantum Physics, Mathematics, Statistical Analysis and More.

This book is incredible; and was recommended to me by my dear friend + Astrologer and Intuitive extraordinaire, Elizabeth Pendleton. If all the science and math makes your heart sing, this book is for you! You can find this book online. Make sure you Order the 2nd Edition.

Face Rollers

These little guys come in a variety of stones; including Jade, Rose Quartz, and Amethyst to name a few. They help to reduce inflammation, stress, tension, and pain that you may be holding in your face, neck, and chest.

I’ve been using my roller every evening for several months and I’m still shocked by how much tension I have in my face every evening. I can literally feel the tension and pain move out of my face as I use the roller and can see puffiness and swelling reduce after using it too. You can find these rollers at most big box stores and online and they tend to range from $15-$25.

Organic Flower and Herb Smudge Bundles

If you love to smudge your home as much as I do but your flower boxes are still sleeping like mine; check out this lovely gal’s etsy shop. She has organic flower and herb smudge bundles that she hand gathers and ties then ships directly to you so you can enjoy beautiful smudge bundles at home. I’m not affiliated with Mallory, but I’ve ordered from her many times and I really love her shop. She also has crystals and handmade jewelry too.

Smudging 101

Smudging is a form of space clearing that’s been used for generations to cleanse, uplift, and shift physical spaces, outdoor spaces, people, pets, and objects. Smudging with Sage helps to move out stale dense, or negative energy. It can also be used to purify air and to clear away germs and bacteria.

Space clearing helps to move out stale or dense energy and makes space for the new to come into our lives. Space clearing helps to lighten and brighten the feeling, vibration, and quality of the space and it's something that you, your loved ones, and pets will feel and benefit from.

If you or a loved one who lives with you suffers from Asthma or other breathing issues, Smudging is NOT the best Space Clearing option for you and you should use a different method to clear your home.
If you live in an apartment, you may need to check your building regulations to check to see if you’re allowed to burn sage. If not, you should use a different method to clear your home.

You can find sage bundles at most health food stores or you can make your own.
You can add a rosemary bundle to your sage, lavender, or roses if you feel guided.
If you want to create your own bundles just make sure to use natural fibers to wrap your herbs.
Do Not use acrylic or other synthetics fibers to wrap your sage bundles.
If you want to add additional herbs or flowers to your sage bundle you may want to research the meaning for each flower you choose. You can easily find the flower meanings with a quick internet search. Each flower or herb that you choose has its own special clearing and healing element supporting a deep clearing of your home and or office space.

Choose a non-flammable dish to rest under your bundle so you don't get embers on your furniture or flooring. (Some people use abalone shells but you can choose whatever is right for you.)

Then open all your windows so the old energy can move out when you begin smudging.
This is also important because your space will be filling with smoke and you want to avoid your smoke alarm being activated.
You may also want to turn on any ceiling fans to help circulate the air.

Before you begin you can set intentions for your space and your clearing; you can ask your angels to be with you and support the clearing process, or anything that feels right for you.

Then light your sage bundle carefully, it may take a minute to light and begin to produce smoke.

Begin moving throughout your home, office, or other space allowing your sage to waft. Make sure that you smudge behind doors, in corners, under furniture if possible, and in places or spaces that aren’t used very often. If there are any rooms or areas that feel off to you, spend more time in there allowing the sage to clear and waft over the entire space. Walk into and around every room you’re clearing.

Smudge electronics, televisions, routers, cell phones, websites, social media accounts etc.
You can bring the online accounts or websites you would like to clear up on your device and clear them with the smoke.

Continue smudging until you’ve cleared every space. If you’re clearing your home, make sure that you clear the front and back doors, and every door leading to the outside especially well. Clear both sides of the doors, so you’ll have to go outside to do this.

Clear your property and any out buildings you have including garages and sheds.
If there are weird spots on your property, spend more time clearing those areas.

You'll feel the space shift and snap, similar to snapping a sheet as the space clears of old energy.
You may notice a deep calm come over the space, you, and anyone else in the space. Sometimes the space will feel and even look bigger after it’s been cleared. There is a palpable shift and you'll feel it. When you're finished make sure you stop your bundle from burning, you may want to use some water to ensure that it's out. Place your smudge bundle and your dish somewhere that it will be safe so you can smudge again when you feel guided. You can continue to use the same smudge bundle until it’s completely gone.

Smudging is a powerful tool to keep your spaces uplifted, supportive, and feeling like you.
I hope you’ll enjoy this method of space clearing as much as I do.

Love,
Kristy~ xoxo
