Smudging Prayer

Smudging Prayer & Methods: I wrote the following prayer for smudging ceremonies. There are many others that can be found on the internet; better yet, make up your own! ( (if you haven’t already seen it, I included information about smudging in in a previous blog post, ‘Smudging to Cleanse, Bless & Purify.)

When smudging in a group you can use your feather smudge wand to direct the smoke toward the group as a whole, or toward each individual.

When smudging yourself, place your hands into the smoke and gently rub them together as though washing them. Next, gather the smoke into your hands as you bring your hands to each part of your body as outlined in the following prayer.

Smudging Prayer

May your hands be cleansed and blessed,

so you creatively and lovingly use them in service.

May your eyes be cleansed and blessed,

so you clearly see the greater picture of all that occurs,

and always see the beauty and blessings this world has to offer.

May your throat be cleansed and blessed,

so you clearly speak your truth with love and compassion.

May your heart be cleansed and blessed,

so you are open to giving and receiving love

and acknowledge your soul’s whispers.

May your solar plexus be cleansed and blessed,

so you use your power wisely and with integrity.

May your feet be cleansed and blessed,

so as you walk this earth, you do so with respect for all of life.

As this sacred smoke surrounds you,

give thanks for your life

and for the gift of being a clear channel of service.

May the smoke of this sacred plant

carry your prayers of love and gratitude

into the sacredness of the All That Is.

So Be It and So It Is
