Welcome back to "Rising Warriors Rachael Kulei" Indigenous Podcast. Today we have our Indigenous Elder & Professor, Rochelle Kulei, speaking with us on "Smudging".
Smudging is a purification ceremony that is a common practice among Indigenous cultures. Smudging as a way to create balance by purifying the body, aura, energy, and ceremonial space or other spaces and personal belongings. Smudging is performed to remove negative energy as well as for centering and healing. Clearing the energies from ourselves and our space, we also clear the spirit.
