For Your Home or Office. Step 1 - White Sage - CLEANSE NEGATIVE White Sage is traditionally used by Native Americans for energetic cleansing. Its bitter scent repels all kinds of energy, preparing the ground for attracting positive vibrations. HOW TO USE: Open a window or a door to let fresh air in. Hold the bundle stem side. Light the tip, and gently blow out the flame. Place the smoldering bundle into the abalone shell. Body Cleansing: For astral purification first bathe your hands in the smoke and then spread the smoke all over your body. Room Cleansing: While holding the bundle over the abalone shell, begin from the doorway and move around the room in a clockwise manner with the intention to push the negative energy out. If you’re smudging a house continue with each room finishing at the front door where you will extinguish the smoldering embers by rubbing them inside the abalone shell.
