I'm Hindu, and we have something similar. As part of Yajna (sacrifice), we can light sage or Paolo Santo etc, sweep it towards the Lingham offering it to God, and then eventually sweep it towards ourself, to consummate the offering and remember the bond we share with God.

[@healthyliving7910]

This is my favorite video on smudging and ceremony. I feel so connected and feel the loving energy being channeled from the creator via our brother here. Thank you so much for sharing this sacred ceremony with us.

I recently cut my hair for the first time in just over three years. I was holding on to alot of grief that had been eating at me. My mom sent me this to encourage me to smudge to help the healing and I gotta say, this was very helpful. Thank you 😊

[@SneakyDolly]

We cut our hair when we one of our close loved one walks on… it is said to help with the pain of grieving and also to let others know that you’re in mourning. I’m Lakota btw.

Safe Blessing: May you be surrounded by a shield of protection, guarded by the watchful eyes of the universe. May your path be free from danger and misfortune, guided by intuition and clear-sightedness. May your journey be filled with unexpected delights, and moments of profound peace. May you return home every night to the warmth of loved ones, and wake each morning with renewed hope and courage. May your life be a tapestry woven with threads of safety, and may your heart always know the comfort of knowing you are loved and protected. So it is, and so it shall be.

[@stevewildeagle965]

I actually felt the Humble giving message in this upload, and will now follow these ways to smudge. Sadly my Shaman Dave Redman White Buffalo calf woman, passed away recently a loss felt deeply by our Spirit family. He was Part Navajo, and fully trained in America the old ways. He completely changed my family, and planted our feet fully upon a new path of Giving love and light, I still hold dear the 1st book he gave me to read, called The Four Agreements.🙏🏼 Gitche Manitou Bless his ascention and accept his Soul with the light and Love that he always gave other's. Love & Light Steve White horse. ❤☀️🐎

Boozhoo. Gaawiin aapiji ninitaa-ojibwemosii. Amanj igo, ninga-gagwejitoon ji ojibwemoyaan. Kegan nindizhinikaaz. Gaawiin ningikenimaasii nindoodem. Gichi-miigwech, Cecil and company, for this video. I am using this quarantine time to learn about our Anishinaabe culture that was taken from my family in the boarding schools. I wanted to share my excitement with you: after a few months of self-taught Ojibwemowin, I actually understood most of what you said. It is because of videos like these that I am able to connect to this part of myself. I look forward to the day when I can safely visit with our band's Elders. Mi'iw, miigwech biizindewag.

I am grateful I came across this and that he made this video, his voice and spirit was just so calming☺️

[@TheCelticGoldsmith]

I'm going to watch this video many many many times. I love this video.

[@liss3092]

Absolutely loved this! Very calming! I can say I felt this. I am educating self properly to be able to smudge my home my loved ones and myself. Wish more elders came about to teach us. I’m so happy to come across your page. I’ve learned so much already! I trust your energy; do you have a website to order sage from? I personally cannot pick them and I learned it’s best to pick them yourselves or someone you trust.

[@anphoneron]

If someone happens across this message that may know, can I ask what the prayer was in what I believe was Ojibwa? I think the first word is a greeting: Boozhoo. Hopefully I'm not terribly wrong or offensive. Who is he greeting and what are the words?

Beautiful voice and spirit in this man ❤️💚💜🙏🌱🍃🌿⭐️🙏

[@greenscarab2]

Very calming and healing. I sometimes take a charcol outside and light it till its red and white on the outside so there is no smell. Then i put the herbs/ medicine on there a little at a time or alot to really cleanse and then open the windows and let it all the stuck energy go out with the smoke. Its also good for resins as its the only way to keep them burning. I use a clay vissle with an area for the burnt medicine to fall into. I keep the burned medicine and collect it so i can make black salt for protection. I however love the way you smudged your sacred parts of your body. I had forgotten about that. Its so good to share and be reminded. Thank you and may the gods bless you.❤❤❤

Thank you for this beautiful video. I love to smudge with the sage. I have eagle, owl and swan feathers that were gifted to me by the birds. I love and honour them and their spirit energies. I have a native indian spirit guide who appeared when I was 10 years old after an accident. He has always appeared at times of difficulty to help guide me. I am so blessed and grateful to know a few things to help with cleansing, protection and connection with our Source Light. ❤

Sage smoke gives me good shivers in my body, I always had the instinct to go around and smudge the 4 corners of an area first. I can't get Eagle feathers but I have a large Seagull feather that I found near my home, it just felt right to use it and it's from a big local bird that is around us here a lot. Thanks so much for this video, love and good health to all.

I smudge my house but lately when I go away & come back( I live in 2 different houses , half week at one & rest of week at the other) When I smudge when I get to my luggage and clothes from the other house it always goes out always at these points. It doesn't matter at what point I do them. towards beginning, middle or end...what is it telling me. Are those negative energies from thay other house. The vibes are DEFINITELY different over there

[@davishropshire5361]

@@fanshaweiil I had the same question. I am a person of color and strive to be sensitive to cultural appropriation, so I would not feel comfortable smudging unless I was given permission, as it is only right and respectful to do so. I’m also a therapist and cannot smudge in my office, so I have resorted to white sage and palo santo spray as a means of cleansing and setting the environment for healing work to occur. I will try making sage tea and use that to spray as well. (Unfortunately I am allergic to cedar.) Thank you for this video ❤
