Smudge

“Our Native elders have taught us that before a person can be healed or heal another, one must be cleansed of any bad feeling feelings, negative thoughts, bad spirits or negative energy—cleansed both physically and spiritually.  This helps the healing come through in a clear way, without being distorted or sidetracked by negative “stuff” in either the healer or patient.  The elders say that all ceremonies, tribal or private, must be entered into with a good heart so that we can pray, sing and walk in a sacred manner, and be helped by the spirits to the sacred realm.  Native people throughout the world use herbs to accomplish this.  One common ceremony is to burn certain herbs, take the smoke in one’s hands and rub or brush it over the body.  Today this is commonly called “smudging,” and in Western North America the three plants most frequently used in smudging are sage, cedar and sweetgrass.”
