Smudging is a common practice among Lakota people for the cleansing of energy through the burning of sage, cedar, and sweet grass.

When performing a smudge, the sage, cedar, and sweet grass are placed in a bowl or in my case an abalone shell. The mixture is placed in the bowl/shell and burnt in that order. After the ingredients start to smoke use a feather or your hands to fan the smoke over your body. I start by using my hands to bring the smoke towards my chest where my heart is. I continue fanning the smoke over my body and covering it. Your thoughts and prayers are carried on the smoke to the Creator.
