(Smudge bowl, sacred herbs like sage, sweetgrass, or cedar, and a lighter or matches.)

(Pick a quiet, respectful place where you won’t be disturbed.)

(Use a lighter to gently light the herb until it smolders—don’t let it burn with a full flame.)

(Use your hand or a feather to waft the smoke around.)

(Bring smoke toward your head, heart, arms, and legs—cleansing your mind and body.)

(Walk clockwise around the room or area, letting smoke touch each corner.)

(Pass personal or sacred items through the smoke.)

(Say something meaningful, or sit in quiet reflection.)
