A reader asks, “Is there something I should think about when I smudge with white sage and sweetgrass, or should I clear my mind of any thoughts? How much would I interfere with the smudging healing session if my mind is wandering or if I try to guide my thoughts?”
Thoughtful Smudging Healing
Great question! We are truly thinkers, and our minds are very powerful. We are able to manipulate our own thoughts, too, and even though we don’t always realize it our mind will fill in any gaps in the “stories” in a way that makes us right or proves the past has repeated itself.
On the other hand our mind is a powerful healing tool. We can focus our energy by using thoughts, and we can transform energy as well into healing, forgiveness, decision, commitment, and so much more.
A White Sage Smudging Healing Prayer
You can offer a prayer, also known as an affirmation or even “well wishes” as you smudge. What is the desired outcome? This is a time when you can step out of your own wants and agenda, and wish for the “Greater Good”, meaning the best outcome for yourself and anyone else. By wishing for the Greater Good you don’t have to solve the problem yourself or know the answer, you state that whatever the best solution is that your wish is that they gracefully find that path. What a nice way of stepping out of “control” and into flow.
Have a great smudging healing session with your white sage!
