In the new year, we want to be new people. We make lists of what's in and what's out. We want to take on healthy new habits to help revitalize our lives. Some people want to get rid of the bad energy that followed them from the past and they do that with sage.
Traditionally, burning sage or smudging sage is the practice of burning herbs to purify or bless people and places. In new-age spirituality, the practice claims to essentially eliminate negativity from your space or even yourself. Smudging can clear your emotional, energetic, spiritual and physical body. The most important aspect of it is that it should help you start fresh.
