Materials Needed for Burning Cedar
Heat-resistant container (a ceramic bowl is suitable; ancient methods recommend using an abalone shell)
Ignition source (matches, candles, or a lighter)
Fan (not essential, but can be used to guide the smoke)


 
Precautions
Be cautious with the ignition source. Avoid wearing loose, long sleeves during smudging to prevent burns or accidental fires. Keep a water source nearby for safety.
Do not use containers that conduct heat easily, such as metal or glass.
When burning, always monitor the ignition source. Do not leave a lit smudge stick unattended in a room.
After burning, ensure the ignition source is completely extinguished.
If you have sensitive airways, open windows during smudging. Consult a doctor if you have severe allergies.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to avoid using smudge sticks.


 
Purifying Space with Burning Cedar
Light the smudge stick from the leafy end, extinguish the flame by gently waving it up and down, and let the smoke rise.
Place the smudge stick in the heat-resistant container. Hold the container and walk around the room, pausing in each corner.
Finally, position the container in the center of the room to allow the smoke to purify the entire space.

 
*Do not use water to extinguish the smudge stick; otherwise, it won’t be usable next time. Store the smudge stick in a dry place and relight it for future use.
