The entire home, and even your personal aura, can be cleansed with smoke. Use smudge sticks or your favorite cleansing incense. In many cultures throughout history; herbs, resins and incense have been used for purification rituals. Push the smoke into the corners of every room and say a prayer or mantra to invoke peace and remove negativity. Light incense during meditations and move through the smoke to help purify your own aura.
Open windows and doorways while burning incense and smudge to allow the smoke to carry away negative energies. Traditional incenses used for cleansing are Frankincense, Cedarwood, Nag Champa, Patchouli and Sandalwood.
