There is no right or wrong way for smudging when going to a ceremony one would usually have a circle and the elder or conductor will like to smudge

What to use for smudging in the sage is the white sage

You can lite just the sage there but you can also mix it with all the other medicines

Then we strike a match and then we can lite it in the bowl

We would then use a eagle feather or anyone tends to have glasses and use that to smudge with the bowl

While Smudging rub your hands together and you can say some Mi'kmaq words to address him

You can say Mi'kmaw words for the creator to be with you and ask the creator to be with you for all that you do

You then pray in silence or pray for whatever you need then smudge your breath, eyes, ears, hair, feet, torso of the body

When smudging to other people in the circle come up to them with a side of the bowl and with an eagle feather smudge them with the smoke

As well as hold the eagles feather in honor and hope that they will help that the creator helps to hear these prayers.
