Every day, people come in and out of your home environment bringing with them whatever it is that they’ve attracted and collected over the day. Some of it is wonderful and positive and some of it, not so much. Using smudge and a burden basket is a wonderful way to cleanse yourself and your environment.

A burden basket is a real or imaginary basket to keep outside of your door where everyone enters and exits. It’s useful to have a burden basket, so that when leaving home or coming back, you can drop your burdens into it, so that all the troubles from work and the hecticness of your day are left outside your threshold. The same applies when you’re leaving, so that you are not taking anything from the home environment out into the world. This simple act assists everyone in the family. This can be done for work as well, even if the basket is in your imagination.

Smudge creates an energetic change in the environment. All cultures have a way of cleansing that usually involves incinerating something. Blessing your home or work environment brings the best qualities into any space.

In this podcast, ShamanWeaver Shiela Baker describes how to smudge yourself with sage and how to smudge your home with sage and sweetgrass. Sage burns quickly and easily and the smoke is dense enough to see it going back into the corners of your house. Sweetgrass has a beautiful smell and is used to draw sweet new energy back into your house. A blessing invites positive attributes into your place.

By cleansing yourself and your environment with smudge and using a burden basket then offering a blessing, you bring more love and compassion, less trouble and strife, and all this by three simple things: a burden basket, a lighting of sage and a blessing.
