Using your hand or feather, spread the smoke in a clockwise direction, around the area, person or object you are smudging. Quick, short, fanning movements break up blocked or stagnant energy. Long, flowing movements smooth out energy, creating a peaceful, balanced and harmonious energy flow. To use your smudge stick for Chakra Balancing, fan the swirls of smoke around your body from head to toe with your hands or feather, direct the smoke on the chakra where there are blockages and/or physical or emotional pain. Visualize the smoke lifting away all the negative emotions connected to that chakra, and as you do so visualize each chakra coming into balance as it is purified by the smudge.
