The ritual of smudging is often narrowed to just humans. It is fact that it will benefit all life form, including animals. The magic of smudging comes from intent and the utilization of a botanical/plant deemed for its energetic and spiritual energies. With intent we ask the sacred plant to aid us in cleansing, purifying and healing a space, object, or ANY living life form. Our Temples (body) are a complex matrix of energy, as life happens often we become porous, allotting energy of any form to get in and out. Every living being has an energy field, and face stresses and challenges that compromise these energy fields, lowing vibrations that cause sickness. With this being understood, we can now see its ability to benefit our pets, in addition to ourselves. Smudging offers us help in dealing with ailments, physical, mental, and maintaining wellness over all. Simply light end of stick, always over heat proof vessel, set your intent and start dispersing the smoke. Always respect your pets/or any ones comfort zone with smudging. After use, there will be a pronounced sense of well being. Please always be sure to not leave any smudge stick unattended, I use a bowl of sand to snuff my sticks out. Wishing you all well on your journey of natural healing for you and your pets. As always….Namaste.
