Open windows and doors for ventilation
Gather sage, palo santo, or another preferred smudging herb
Use a fireproof bowl or shell
Light the herb until it produces smoke
Gently blow out the flame
Move through each room slowly
Waft the smoke into corners, doorways, and around windows
Focus on areas that feel stagnant or heavy
Keep the smoke controlled and avoid over-smudging
Extinguish the herb completely in sand or water
Close windows and doors when finished if desired
