Smoking and purification of healing stones

Fumigation is a purification method used for many years , but it is not known exactly when it started. What we do know is that hundreds of years ago, for the native North American Indians, the burning ritual was a way to cleanse themselves of negative energies and gain a sense of peace and harmony in the body or an object, as well as in the home or space around them. Most of us are convinced that the body and home or objects are only made of physical matter. However, they carry their own silent, immaterial energy.

Everything has an aura
This silent energy is more commonly known as the aura. Aura is often described as "the peculiar atmosphere surrounding a given source." Everything around us has an aura. Plants, animals, people, minerals and even the earth itself.

Sometimes, as we go through life, we tend to feel tired, sometimes we feel very uneasy, or we feel like everything is on our shoulders. This is often caused by negative or unhealthy energies around us. Some of the most common examples of negative energies are:
• problems at home
• depression
• illness
• fear of losing a loved one
• or you just feel like you're having a bad day

The best way to get rid of these feelings is to remove the negative energies that are causing them. You can do this quite easily with the help of fumigation.

If you want to properly fumigate yourself or any object or space, whether at home or at work, you will need:
• either a smoking bundle of herbs or wood for smoking
• a large bird quill (if you want to perform the smoking ritual in the same way as the North American Indians perform it - otherwise you can do without a bird quill - use an improvised fan made of paper, your hand, etc.)
• A candle and, of course, matches
• A large natural shell or smoking bowl or censer (but a small heat-resistant ceramic or stone bowl can be used - preferably with some fine sand)
Smoking bundles are most often made of sage and sweet grass, or sage and cedar. Both components of the heating bundle play an important role in the heating process. Sage is used to remove negative energies, spirits and influences, while sweet grass or cedar will collect new and positive energies.
Positive tuning with the help of smoking does not come overnight. It will take some time and a fair amount of practice to tune into yourself or perhaps your healing stone; but you'll know when it happens.


Smoking yourself
To get started, light a candle. Use the candle to light one end of the heating bundle. Hold the bundle in the candle flame until the entire end of the bundle starts to glow. Extinguish the flames with gentle movements of the heating bundle through the air so that the bundle only smolders and emits smoke. Place the smoking bundle in a shell or bowl and place it on the ground.
Step your right foot over the shell (or bowl) so that your foot passes through the smoke. Pick up the shell and use the bird feather to direct a puff of smoke towards the body while slowly lifting the shell off the ground.
Imagine negative and unwanted energy leaving your body through the smoke. You can ask out loud, "all the powers that be, remove all negative and unwanted energies." Continue to move the smoke from side to side as you move the shell upwards to reach the chest and neck area.
At this point you can surround the head with smoke and then repeat the process back down. This time you can say out loud: "all the powers that be, please fill me with new and positive energy". When you reach your feet, place the shell on the ground and step out of the smoke with your left foot this time. You can repeat this fumigation procedure as many times and as often as you like.


Fumigation of your home or place
This ritual is performed similarly to smoking oneself. Start in the northernmost corner of your home and work your way clockwise from room to room. We highly recommend opening all windows and doors during fumigation so that unwanted energy can easily escape through them.
Gradually fumigate all the corners in each room or area from top to bottom. You can also burn sage or cedar wood at any time between individual heatings of your home.
Fumigation can be an effective and also fun way to cleanse your environment of all evil and negativity.
