Day eleven: smudging

Today was another cleaning day: I cleaned my apartment. It felt and smelled better. After I was done, I decided that it was a good time to smudge my apartment, too. It has been several months, if not over a year, since I smudged it last. I always feel better and the energy feels better in my place feels better after I smudge.

This is the last of a smudge stick my mom made me years ago. I am letting it burn all the way out as I write this. Smudging for better thoughts and energy is therapeutic and cleansing. The physical process also reminds me of the inner process of pushing out the bad thoughts and focusing on the positivity that is around. The fluidity and movement in this picture seems to capture this...it is a movement and process.

Here's to new, positive energy that surrounds!
