Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing ~ Smudging
Smudging
‘Smudging’ is the common name given to the Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing, a powerful cleansing technique from the Native American tradition. However the burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification is common practice in many religious, healing, and spiritual traditions. It is a ritual way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies or influences. The theory behind smudging is that the smoke attaches itself to negative energy and as it clears it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another space to be regenerated.
Smudging is very effective when you’ve been feeling depressed, angry, resentful or unwell or after you have had an argument with someone. It is also great to smudge yourself, the space and all the guests or participants before a ritual or ceremony or celebration. You can smudge your home or work space as part of a general spiritual housecleaning and you can cleanse crystals or other objects of any negative energy with a smudging ritual.
There are many ways to smudge and a variety of different herbs may be used. When the herbs used for smudging are tied into a bundle and allowed to dry they are called a “smudge stick”. In traditional societies the herbs used for smudging are considered sacred and the smudge stick is treated with great respect.
How to Smudge
Any action, undertaken with intention and belief can become a potent ritual so consider your intention before you smudge and hold it clearly in your mind. You may wish to invite the spirit of the herbs to join you and guide and assist with your intention.
A candle flame is recommended to light the smudge stick as it may take a little time to get the stick smoking. Once there’s a flame blow it out so that the smudge stick is smoldering, not burning. Blow or wave the flame with your hand to put out the fire. Allow the smudge stick to smolder, freeing the smoke to circle in the air.
Smudging Yourself
Fan the swirls of smoke around your body from head to toe. You may want to especially focus on areas where you feel there are blockages or where there has been or is physical, emotional, or psychic pain. Imagine the smoke lifting away all the negative thoughts, emotions and energies that have attached themselves to you. If you are feeling depressed for instance you could visualize the smoke carrying away all your feelings of depression.
Smudging Another
It is often appropriate to smudge guests as they enter the space at a ritual, ceremony or special event. Smudge as if you were smudging yourself, fanning the smoke all over their body. You may want to speak an intention or a suggestion for the smudging as you do it. For instance “Allow the sacred smoke to cleanse your body and spirit and bring you present and available into this moment”
Smudging a Room or Space
Light the smudge stick and walk about the perimeter,move in a counter clockwise direction to banish negativity, giving special attention to the corners and the places behind doors. You can also fan the smoke throughout the room with a large feather.
During Healing Work
During healing work, the smoke may be fanned over the person either by your hand or with feathers. This clears out unhealthy energies and brings in the special attributes of the herbs. You may also direct smudge to each of the person’s chakras and as you do so visualize each chakra coming into balance as it is purified by the smudge.
Cleansing Crystals or Other Objects
Hold the objects to be purified in the smoke or fan the smoke over them. If you are clearing your crystals prior to programming them thank both them and the smudge stick for helping you to realize your goals.
After Trauma
Illness strongly affects the energy in the home. Illness subdues the energy in a home, whether physically or mentally in the case of the person suffering, or from the nervous tension and energetic output of the person tending the ill. Fresh air must be brought into the home, as well as plants and flowers, candles and some form of purifying water. By bringing the four elements into the home and the sense of a fresh clean, beginning, you will raise everyone’s spirits and incorporate balance into the home again.
Conflict in the home or violation in the form of constant arguing or anger or if the home has been robbed or damaged in some way can also strongly affect the chi of the home and its occupants. This is another instance where space clearing, regularly if necessary, can help you move on from negative energy and holding onto the past and moving forward into a happier future.
After Change or to Elicit Change
When change comes into life, whether positive or negative it can’t help but affect people and their environment. If you change jobs, lose someone you love, have to deal with conflict or resentment, or if you end a relationship, you need to make sure that you take the time to process your emotions and then cleanse yourself and your space. Honor the passing, mourn, grieve, let your anger or anxiety our and then work to let those emotions go so you can continue unencumbered on your path. Chi is all about balance – learning and moving forward and working to maintain harmony internally and externally. Clearing space is a good habit and one that can help you move on in all facets of your life with more ease.
Extinguishing the Smudge Stick
Have ready a fireproof receptacle such as a shell or a glass or ceramic dish to put the smudge stick in when you’ve finished. It’s ideal to damp the stick out in sand, or earth or you can just press it against the bottom of the receptacle. Always make sure that a smudge stick is out before leaving the room where you keep it.

- A traditional way to cleanse away negative energy

- Use to clear energy out of a room where stress occurs.
- Use to cleanse people and pets that are depressed, sick or anxious
- Clear energy from a previous resident.

Tips for Energetic Cleansing & Revitalization – on your own!
Energetic Cleansing & Revitalization
Smudging
‘Smudging’ is the common name given to the Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing, a powerful cleansing technique from the Native American tradition. California White Sage removes negative energy. You may use a smudge stick or single piece of Sage and a large feather to waft the smoking sage into the auric field and space you inhabit.
Incense
Incense can be used by burning a piece of charcoal and placing the herbs/ resin on top. There are many different kinds of incense but Copal is probably one of the best for cleansing. Once lit allow the charcoal disc to turn white before placing the incense on top. Use a feather to waft the energies into the auric field and personal space. Please Remember to Place Charcoal & Copal in a Fire-Proof Container!
Crystals
Crystals can help protect and cleanse your energy. Quartz Crystal may be used for cleansing and Amethyst is also a great cleanser if you work on a computer. Place a cluster on or near the computer to neutralize the electromagnetic energy it transmits, you can also use plants to soak up the vibrations. Please Remember to Cleanse the Crystals After Use with Sage!
Sound
Sound is an effective cleanser. Clapping your hands, using bells, chimes, crystal bowls, music, singing, anything that has a vibrational energy can change stagnant energy.
Bathing with Epsom Salt
Water helps wash away dirt, both physically and energetically. Adding Epsom Salt to a bath stimulates the flow of your own energy and also draws minor psychic debris out of the Energetic Field.
Essential Oils for Cleansing:
cedarwood, cypress, geranium, juniper, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, mugwort, orange, peppermint, pine, & rosewood
Essential Oils that Revitalize & Seal the Aura:
frankincense, lemon, rosemary, bergamot, vetiver, geranium, sage, patchouli, and mugwort

Space Clearing & Protecting
Space Clearing & Protecting
Space Clearing is a technique used to clear, balance and/or eliminate discordant, predecessor, old and stagnant energies from the environment. Physical places can get saturated with dense, heavy, unworkable energies and they can become stored and the cause of imbalanced energy fields which warp and affect our ways of being when we are in them. Space Clearing is a way of cleansing and disconnecting physical places from energies which adversely affect those who live and work in them. Space Clearing & Protecting can dramatically improve the energies and feel of a place, making it a more pleasant environment and fostering more harmonious living and working conditions. Today we live in a complicated, stressful world where the consciousness of inner and world peace is being overpowered by fear, war and discord. Regularly clearing these energies and intentionally balancing the energy in your home can create harmony for you and your family. Many different tools can be used for a space clearing; bells, drums, sage, clapping, salt, tuning forks and essential oils are just a few that can be used during any clearing or balancing ceremony. Space Clearing consists of cleansing, purifying, blessing, and protecting the home and land to bring your space into peace, balance and harmony. DesertStar Healing utilizes the Practice of Smudging to Protect & Bless the Space after it is Cleared. Smudging is the practice of spiritual cleansing, protection, blessing, and involves burning of certain dried herbs. The burning of herbs and resins for purification or blessings has been used in many cultures around the world. Smudging is the Native American way of using the power of herbs for cleansing, protecting and blessing. It is a very simple yet effective method of clearing a place, an object or a human being of negative energies. The most common plant used for smudging is sage, specifically white sage. Dried sage stems and leaves are bundled together and bound tightly into what is known as a smudge stick. When lit up the smudge stick produces a very cleansing and pleasant smelling smoke. However, entities and negative astral beings dislike the scent of white sage and flee from it. Smudge is therefore perfect to purify and clear people, places and ritual tools from negativity. The act of smudging is a sacred ritual. DesertStar Healing uses forms of journeying to spirit worlds, along with prayer and ceremony to communicate with the spirit world; guardian angels, nature spirits, and evolved spiritual teachers for healing, guidance and wisdom. Most indigenous cultures practice some sort of space clearing rituals on a regular basis. In South America, Asia and India, Shamans perform space clearing rituals for health, family prosperity and abundant harvests.

Space Clearing & Protecting Smudging Herbs:
White Sage– Other forms of sage can also be used for the smudge stick but the scent will be different and the effect maybe not quite as pronounced as with White Sage
Cedar– Cedar tree is a sacred tree believed to have healing properties. Cedar smudge sticks are used in healing and for ceremonial purposes. The cleansing effect of cedar is not quite as intense as that of white sage, but cedar smoke brings in a friendly, healing energy, and is a good alternative for those who have an aversion to sage.
Lavender– Lavender has powers of protection and cleansing. It has traditionally been used in herbal medicine for many infectious diseases and has a soothing effect on the nervous system. Magically it is used for protection and also for love. Lavender brings a positive energy, opens the heart chakra and calms the mind.
Sweet Grass– Sweet Grass is a traditional Native American herb that is also sometimes burned for smudging. However, sweet grass holds an energy of blessing rather than cleansing and is used after smudging with sage, to bring in positive energy after negativity has been released, rather than on its own.
“In Ancient times humans were intimately attuned to the environment for their most immediate and basic survival, and a type of innate wisdom prevailed: a wisdom that honored the sacredness of the Earth, and recognized the importance of humans maintaining harmonious relationship through rituals and ceremonies. These rituals were intended to balance the energies of one’s environment.”
-Christian Hummel
Ion-Cleanse: External Detoxification Method
What is Ion-Cleanse?
The IonCleanse Unit generates a programmable mix of positive and negative ions (charged atoms) which attach themselves to oppositely charged toxic particles and draw them out of the body through pores in the feet. The result over several sessions is a remarkable release of many different toxic materials, and a growing feeling in overall energy. Each session takes about 30 minutes. It is an External Detoxification Method, which detoxifies your body while you are comfortably seated with your feet placed in a container of warm water. This is a very efficient way to remove toxic accumulations regardless of where they are located in the body. IonCleanse sessions are painless and comfortable. The IonCleanse is not intended to cure or treat disease. When used properly, the IonCleanse detoxifies the body in an effective and fast manner with little or no stress to the body.
How Does Ion-Cleanse Work?
The human body is like a giant magnet that attracts and holds onto toxins. Heavy metals, partially oxidized fats, unassimilated proteins, cholesterol deposits, uric acid, plaque, lactic acid and the vast array of chemicals that pervade our water, air and food. These toxins attach themselves in ionized form to joints, organs, arteries, nerves and tissues. This disrupts normal body functions, and creates an environment for disease, allergies, and immune system problems. Ion generating technology has been around for several decades. It is this technology that is the secret to success in the Ion-Cleanse process by using an alternating positive and negative ion charge during the same treatment. This important discovery now makes it possible to remove unwanted toxic material from everyone regardless of the electrical charges the toxin may hold. Ions are charged atoms that have gained or lost an electron, which causes them to set up a magnetic field capable of attracting and neutralizing oppositely charged particles and pulling them out of the body through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term used to describe the movement of particles through a cellular membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. The lower concentration in this case refers to the ion field set up by the system in the water. Often times it is possible to reduce pain, swelling, edema and other symptoms caused by a long-term life style and a chronic toxic buildup in the body.
Why Detoxify Using the Ion-Cleanse?
Never before in the history of our planet has there ever been such an overwhelming volume of toxic materials dumped upon us through our air supply, water supply, food supply, food chain and into our bodies. Ongoing periodic detoxification is essential to maintain health and avoid disease. Having a successful detoxification regimen is clearly essential to maintain health and avoid disease. The Ion-Cleanse in combination with other forms of body detoxification processes such as colon hydrotherapy, cellular cleansing, a healthy diet, and a low stress lifestyle proved a thorough and efficient way to maintain high energy levels and long term wellness.
Session Frequency:
As a general rule, the maximum bathing frequency for persons under fifty years of age is three times a week for fourteen sessions, with a three-week break before beginning the next sequence. The maximum bathing frequency for persons over fifty is twice a week with a two-week break after fourteen sessions. Each session is 30 minutes in length. Once a month is recommended for maintenance.
Guidelines During Ion-Cleanse Session:
Remove all jewelry, including watches
Do not use a cell phone or a computer
If taking prescription medications take 6 hours before or 6 hours after treatment
Following the treatment replenish electrolytes with supplemental minerals including vitamin C and vegetable juices.
What You Will See During Ion-Cleanse Session…
Many different colors and objects will appear in the water during the IonCleanse session. These colors and objects may be a good indication of what your body is getting rid of.

Frequent detoxification with the IonCleanse gives clients a greater sense of well-being and helps them to feel better.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being.

Gem/Minerals resonate with perfect harmony and when they come into contact with something inharmonious, e.g. ailments, dis-ease, emotional or mental stress they work to restore us to our best possible state of being. This Practice utilizes gem/minerals to draw out, transform and heal blockages within the layers of the aura. They are placed on you or around your body during the treatment and you may feel a pleasant heavy sensation of magnetic pull, or tingling sensation throughout your body at times. Emotional and psychological blocks can be released and your aura will be cleansed of negative energies.

It lends clarity of mind and makes it more difficult for alcohol, drugs, and other addictions to alter one’s mood. It helps balance the nervous system and brain. It can be used to help with symptoms of tinnitus, nerve disorder, or brain imbalances. Amethyst’s energy also supports oxygenation in the blood, helping to improve the body’s assimilation of oxygen and the elimination of waste gasses, especially when in combination with high-iron content stones such as Hematite or Magnetite.
