Sacred Smudging is an intentional practice you can use to clear and ground any residual energies in crystals or minerals to bring them to their pure, harmonic state. Following your intuition when smudging is one of the best ways to create your own personal and most effective rituals. Getting some basic guidelines will help, but always leave room for exploration and self led direction in your practice, listening to your inner voice.

Make sure to perform smoke smudging in a well ventilated area - open a window before beginning the process. Having a fireproof shell, tray, or glass to place your burning smudge on will ensure all ash and embers remain consolidated. Use the method of fire you are most comfortable with, this might be a match, candle, or lighter.
Lighting the entire end of your smudge isn’t necessary - follow your intuition to match your purpose and intention. Let the material catch on fire, and as the flame goes out, the smoke will billow and the embers will continue to smoke.
Consider using the smoking wand of the smudge stick to clear your space by waving it in each corner of the room. You can set the smudge on your fireproof tray and let the smoke envelope each of your crystals as you hold them above it or you could hold onto your smudge and gently blow the smoke towards your stones.
Use your intuition and mind’s eye to visualize the smoke absorbing unwanted energies and pulling them up to the ceiling or sky as it reunites them back to the ethers.
Burning a small part of your smudge and saving it to use again is normal! Making sure your smudge is out completely is the most important part of it. You can stub the end out or extinguish it with water if needed. Leave it on the fireproof tray until you’re sure it is out completely and once it is cool you can store it in a dark, cool spot for later use.
