This Positivity Smudge Kit contains a Sage smudge stick, a stick of Palo Santo, an Abalone shell and stand, selenite, and Amethyst.
The term “smudging” refers to the ritualized practice of burning herbs - such as sage, palo santo, cedar, or sweetgrass – derived from Native American traditions. While smudging is primarily performed to cleanse a space or person of negative energy, it has many added benefits as well. Smudging can assist in improving mood and promoting relaxation and may lead to more restful sleep. It is also believed to encourage healing, wisdom, and longevity. Smudging is also used for protection or to reconnect with the Earth. Furthermore, such medicinal smoke has been found to have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
White Sage is a sacred herb in the Native American tradition and is the most popular source of smudging material due to its efficacy in clearing negative and stagnant energy. Wood from the Palo Santo tree has been used in South American traditional medicine dating back to the Incan era. It is a popular choice for smudging material to rid a space of negativity and to invite health, positive energy, and good fortune. The Abalone Shell is the traditional vessel for the burning Sage or Palo Santo, adding a water element into the ritual that already contains air, fire, and earth.
Incorporating crystals into your smudging ritual can add further benefits, and this kit includes a Selenite rod and an Amethyst druze. Selenite is very effective at cleansing, purifying, and balancing energies - so much so that it can also cleanse and charge other crystals through contact. Infused with the energy of the moon for which it is named, Selenite can also bring restful sleep and beneficial dreams. Amethyst is a strong healing stone with cleansing powers that also relieves stress, fear, and anxiety. It uplifts perspective, promotes integration between our body and spirit, and decreases delusions. Amethyst also enhances meditation, protects against negative influences, aids with releasing old habits and patterns, and connects us with the Divine.
Abalone shells have been used for centuries in blessing and protection ceremonies as they carry the energy of healing and emotional balance. It is traditionally used with sage as it is believed the smoke from the sage carries your prayers and intentions to the heavens. Through its soothing energy, it provides a layer of protection that lifts the spirit up with the confidence necessary to view situations from a new, higher perspective.
