Smudging

White Sage or PaloSanto/Holy Stick can be purchased through Woodland Gatherings at www.woodlandgatherings.com

 

The use of smudging is common to Native American and Peruvian spiritual practice, but this great tool can be used by anyone wishing to perform some basic clearing work. Smudging with sacred plants is most commonly performed with White Sage or PaloSanto/Holy Stick. White Sage is one of the four sacred Native American herbs used in spiritual and healing practice. These Native American herbs include sage, cedar, sweet grass and tobacco. Palo Santo/Holy Stick originates from Peruvian shaman traditions for healing and smudging work.

When smudging, the White Sage or Palo Santo/Holy Stick is lit with wooden matches and the flame is blown out (similar to lighting incense). Next, the smoke is wafted over the object, room or individual until there is a shift felt, a lifting, or until it is deemed complete. During the process it is common for prayers to be stated for assistance in the smudging or healing. These prayers can be offered up to any deity you work with, or the universe at large. If weather permits it is helpful to open a window or door at the end to "send out" the dense energy.

The technique of smudging is generally used whenever there is negative, stagnant, or dense energy present. This energy can be in an object, a room, or even an individual. Usually you can tell if this dense energy is there simply by feeling it out. Below are some hints for determining this: 

An Object: 
1. Does holding the object give you an unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach?
2. Has the object been involved in some type of negative experience for you?
3. Was the object recently acquired, and is to be used for spiritual or healing work? 

A Room:

1. When you walk into the room does it feel like you are "hitting a wall of dense energy" as you move into the space?
2. Do the hairs on your neck prickle as you enter?
3. Do you experience negative emotions such as anger, frustration, grief, or anxiety for unexplained reasons while in the room?
4. Do you get an unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach while in the room?
5. Has the room been involved in some negative experience for you? 

An Individual:
1. Do you, or the individual, have an unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach?
2. Have you, or the individual, been involved in some negative experience recently?
3. Are you, or the individual, trying to prepare for some healing work?
***If you are thinking of offering clearing to an individual make sure you ask permission before you do this type of work!***

Channeling

Channeling

Channeling is performed when an individual is able to receive messages from the realms of Spirit. This is usually done in a meditative state. These messages may come from Divinity, angels, faeries, our relations, or the voice of nature itself. Generally these messages are used to heal, inspire, or create change in the world so that the vibrational resonance continues to expand into love and light. 

The channeled messages on this blog are from the channeling of Abby Drew, owner of abbydrew.com. Abby has been a lifelong mystic and channel, using her gifts to heal the world around her.

What is Channeling?

            

What is channeling? 

     This is a common question that is often asked of those individuals offering this specific service. In its essence, channeling is a direct link between the provider and their divine source. A common analogy is used regarding a hollow reed in a pond. The water flows through a hollow reed, uninterrupted and uninhibited in its course. Channeling is similar to this hollow reed in that the person whom is providing the channeling opens themselves to their divine source, allowing the information, messages, or images to flow through them like the water does through the reed.

     Channeling, like many other alternative modalities or services, varies widely across the healing spectrum. Usually, the biggest difference is a question of where the practitioner is tapping into, or receiving their information from. Some of the most common sources for channeled messages are angelic, faery/elemental, star reams, animal guides, or ascended masters assisting us from the other side. Each of these sources can be directly linked into by the channeling provider. The outcome is that the divine source can communicate directly to us.
     Most people that seek out a channeling provider are looking for answers to questions they have in their life, guidance as to the directions in which to take in healing or growth work, or as a way to tap into their deepest selves. Whatever the reason though, most people find a channeling session to be a hopeful and inspiring experience. Divinity wears many masks, and takes many forms, however the messages for love, light, healing, joy, and abundance are universally felt and communicated.
     Abby Drew offers channeling sessions both in person as well as over the phone/video chat. Abby has been a lifelong channeler and guide for those seeking to deepen their journey, begin tapping into heart centered awareness, or connect to the rhythm of the natural world around us.
