Tools: Sage, the herb or basil if you do not like the smell of sage.
This ritual originates with Native Americans and is a popular method for cleansing just about anything.  When burned, sage is a sweet smelling herb.  To cleanse a room, simply pass the smoke of the burning sage over the walls, into the corners, the closets, any nooks and crannies where shadows and energy gather.  Pass the smoke along the frames of the doors and windows.  Let it eddy across the floor.  This simple process is vital whenever something tragic, negative, or emotionally wrenching has happened.  It's beneficial if someone in your home is physically ill or feeling out of sorts.  You don't have to say anything, don't have to engage in any ritual.  Simply hold the intent in your mind that you are cleaning the area of negative energy.  A sage wand is ideal for smudging.  It's easy to carry and when you are finished, you simply stub out the burning end so that it can be used again.  Basil can also be used instead of sage.  The waning moon is the ideal time for this spell because you are getting rid of something.  You are purging.  Source: The Everything Spells & Charms Book by Trish MacGregor.
