A little smudging ceremony at Lakshmi Ayurveda today

A fresh start and a new beginning. We welcome all the positives vibes and good spirits.

The practice of smudging has been around for centuries, practiced by many different cultures, especially a practice by the First Nations people as well as Native Americans. (Watch our stories to see more).

Smudge sticks are bundles of dried herbs, often sage, used in spiritual or cultural ceremonies to cleanse or purify a space. They are believed to clear negative energy and promote positive vibes and invite good spirits.

Each person, animal, rock, plant, home has an auric field which can capture negative energy. If this energy is not cleansed it can create illness for its owner. (Silver Wolf Walks Alone). 

It’s so beautiful to see the belief of the First Nations people and Native Americans correlates with the fundamental principles of Ayurveda.

The belief is “We are one with nature, we are all related” 

We are not separate from our environment we are all interconnected. Ayurveda believes in the Panchamahabhutas (five elements). 

What are the benefits of smudging?

- purifying a space by removing negative energy and creating a positive space 

- promoting relaxation 

- enhancing clarity, and providing a sense of well-being. 

Today is the first day after our summer holiday.

We are so happy to re open the doors for you.

We look forward to welcoming you. 

Much Love, Karin and the Lakshmi team
