Smudging is an ancient ritual most commonly used for purification and the removal of negative energy but can also enhance mindfulness, joy, serenity, and even creativity. Learn to raise vibrations by creating smudge sticks with 15 projects, starting from the most basic sage stick and progressing to elaborate floral bundles. Each project is made using fresh flowers, plants, and herbs that are then stored in a cool location to dry before using. From the calm-inducing Stress Relief Smudge with lavender and sage, to the Anti-Anxiety Smudge with bay leaf and rosemary, recipes suit all needs. An inspirational quote and suggested intention are included with each project.
