Native American cultures use smudge sticks in spiritual ceremonies and to remove negative energies and spirits.
To use a smudge stick hold the tip over a burning candle for around 30 seconds then blow out any flame and fan the stick with a feather or smudge wave. The following verse can be used to clear negative energy.
Into the sage smoke I release all negative energy that may surround me I release all fear that holds me back I release all energies that do not serve me Passing positive energy to those I cherish
