Juniper is also best for blessing a new venture or dwelling, and inviting in abundance. It is an excellent addition to a more standard smudge and is a great addition to resin burning.

Although most smudges are designed to clear negative energy and juniper does this as well, it also creates a safe and positive healing space once the negative energy is removed.

About smudging: Smudging is an ancient practice used by many walks of life that involves the burning of herbs for cleansing and purification. Smudging calls on the spirits of sacred plants to drive away negative energies, restore balance, offerings to spirit, aid in visions, dream work and more.

Smudging your home/space: Light the smudge wand and allow the smoke to drift (smudge) around your body or home. To clear the home, begin in a corner of your home and move from the outer part of a room and circling to the center. There are some who move counterclockwise and others only clockwise—do what resonates with you or as your beliefs/practice/ceremony dictates. Move to each corner of the room/home and give specific attention to window casings, doorways and behind doors. The heavier the smoke, the heavier the energy—smudge until the smoke burns clean and travels straight up.
