All the ingredients are certified organic, and hand picked from the area of mount Olympus in Greece. It is bound by hand with 100% organic cotton thread.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmudging has its roots as a ritual in many Pagan traditions, from Shamans of Indigenous Peoples in North America, to India and ancient Greece as a preparation before temple rituals. We smudge our homes and bodies to clear heavy energies and renew our energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to use:\u003cbr\u003eFirst and foremost, open a door or window before lighting up. After all, that negativity and smoke needs to have a pathway to get out.\u003cbr\u003eIntentions are central to the practice of smudging, so take a moment before you light the sage to determine what exactly it is that you're trying to purify or release from your space.\u003cbr\u003eOnce you're ready, hold the sage at a 45-degree angle, light it using a match or candle, and let it burn for about 2-3 seconds. After that, gently blow out the flame so you see orange embers on one end. If you blow on the ember it will re-light itself.\u003cbr\u003eSlowly walk around your space and allow the smoke to waft around. Guide the smoke—and the bad energy—toward the open windows or a door, so it can escape. Burn until 3cm above thread handle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealth and Safety:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways stay present!\u003c\/strong\u003e If you see little embers fall on the ground, tamp them out immediately. \u003cstrong\u003eNever let the burning sage stay unattended for any reason\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not inhale directly\u003c\/strong\u003e the smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you're ready to extinguish a sage smudge stick, press the burning tip firmly into a fireproof vessel, dirt, or sand \u003cstrong\u003euntil the smoke no longer rises.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways hold a fire proof vessel under the smudge stick to collect embers.
