Need to remove negative energy and vibrations from a space but burning sage or palo santo sticks is impractical? You can use a DIY sage spray instead!
How Sage Smudging Spray Works
White sage, palo santo, and incense have been used for centuries to cleanse negative energy.
Normally when you smudge a space, you light a sage wand, palo santo, or incense stick and use the sacred smoke to go around the whole room.
The smoke fills the air, and as it dissipates, it takes all of the negative and lower vibrations with it.
You can use sacred smoke to smudge almost anything – your home, your office, your car, your crystals, objects, and even yourself!
But sometimes, using smoke to cleanse a space isn’t practical, which is where a DIY sage spray can be used instead!
Instead of filling your room with smoke, you spray the smudge spray.
The mist and essential oils fill the room, removing negative energy as it dissipates.
Sage spray works just as well as smudging with smoke, but it’s easier, faster, and not as smelly.
It also won’t set off any smoke alarms.????
When to Use Sage Spray for Cleansing
You can use sage spray for cleansing negative energy in the same way you would use sacred smoke.
The best times to use it are:
- When moving into a new home, apartment, or office.
- To remove predecessor energy from previously owned items.
- After arguments.
- When someone moves out of your home.
- When starting a new endeavor, project, or job.
- When you feel extremely stuck or like something is holding you back.
- When you’ve had a lot of different people in your home.
- When things keep breaking or bad things keep happening to you.
- To cleanse and activate your vision board.
- To remove negative energy from a space.
- To cleanse your aura.
- When you need a fresh start.
- When cleaning your home.
- At the end of a year or the beginning of a new one.
- During a full moon or new moon.
- To cleanse new crystals.
- To reprogram your crystals.
- When you place a new feng shui cure in your home.
- When you feng shui your front door.
- Any other time you feel like your space needs a refresh.
Of course, you can purchase a smudging spray, but if you need to cleanse your space ASAP, it’s easy and fast to create your own DIY sage spray.

How to Use Sage Spray for Cleansing
Set your intention. You can use a smudging prayer or incantation, or you can just use a short intention statement.
A good intention statement to use is:
I command any negative energy or vibration to leave.
Only positive energy is allowed to be here.
Make sure that you are grounded and centered when stating your intention.
If you are cleansing your whole home you can repeat the intention statement as you move from room to room.
Spray the smudging spray throughout the room.
Make sure to get any area where stuck energy likes to hide, such as corners and under furniture.
It is done!
If you need a deeper energy cleanse of your space, you can give it a thorough cleaning first.
This stirs up the stagnant Chi and makes sure everything is in motion so the cleansing spray can do its magic….
