I recently learned about "smudging" while researching energy cleansing/clearing. I didn't know what to expect but was open to the experience. The sage bundles I received are exactly as pictured. I didn't use a feather or any other equipment. I simply lit the end of a bundle, gave a prayer of intent to clear any negative energy within the room and around myself. I felt better after I did it but what happened within the next 24 hours was nothing short of miraculous. Basically, a trip that I had been planning for several months had fallen through the week before. I was very down about it but the morning after the smudging, a friend contacted me about going on the exact same trip for almost free (she had nothing to do at all with the original trip and barely knew about it). I was off for the experience of a lifetime by that evening. To say that the stars aligned is an understatement! Now, that is not to say that I've had perpetual miracles happen since then. But I do believe that our environments affect us profoundly and that stagnant energy can be cleared. I use this sage maybe once a week. My husband and kids hate the smell but I think it's earthy and woodsy. I now open plenty of windows/doors and run the ceiling fans before and while I smudge, and always when the family is out of the house. There are smudge sprays that you can buy for places (like offices) where you can't burn sage, but I have found they are nowhere near as effective. I love this ritual so much that I look forward to it every week.
