How to Sage: The 6 Steps to Effective Space Clearing

By Amanda Linette Meder Psychic Medium

When I space clear a house, I always try to keep in mind that it’s like cleaning any house.

All houses are different and each situation requires different attention, depending on who or what needs to be cleared and where.

You couldn’t use windex to clean every spill in the physical world, and likewise you couldn't use sage to spiritually clean every house in the spiritual and energetic world.

White sage is an excellent tool for space clearing, but it’s just that - a tool. It’s an all-purpose cleaning product that does a wonderful job when it can, but it does have limitations.

White sage is an effective tool for lingering low energy.

It’s great for dealing with heavy, low, lingering thoughts, emotions or feelings - such as those that have been built up over time from arguments, human interactions or the previous interactions of the deceased.

Sage clears residual energy.

If you have a Spirit individual in your space though, White Sage doesn’t always work for that.

To get a person to leave, you usually have to directly address them.

Many of them need a direct address to leave the space. They either need a command, such as,

“All no longer Spirits that are in this space, I ask you to go - including the person who made my bedroom door close last night.”

Or, they need to hear the intention that you set before you begin space clearing.

Meaning, they need to know it’s them you want them to leave. And sometimes they also need you to give them a place (or direct them to a place) to go when they do leave. In many cases, this means a Divine Light channel, sometimes, it just means, straight out the front door.

so, to fully clear your space, you need at least two tools:

If it's residual energy that is lingering (and not a Spirit) in the space, I sage those spaces to help grab onto the lower energies I'm going to be releasing. Ask that all that is no longer serving to be attached to the smoke and then released.

If it's a Spirit in the space, I call down Divine Light.

From there, here is my step by step process:

6 Basic Steps to Space Clearing

All situations, places and scenarios are different, so please keep in mind this is a basic process that is adapted and altered in each and every case.

DIY Spiritual Cleaning! Using sage like a professional intuitive does not have to be hard. Smudging, clearing and cleansing your home can be easy! My tried and true steps that I teach in my classes are in this post - check it out -

1. Tune in

Tune in, and ask to see what is going on in the house. Here, see if you can get a sense for what needs to be cleared, where or if there are areas of specific focus for the clearing.

2. Use clearing tools judiciously

Depending on who or what is there, you choose your preferred space clearing tools. Generally, I select Sage or Cedar for residual energies, and Divine Light for Spirit individuals that are around. But, these are just two tools of many!

3. Clear each space with the tool of your choice

From here, walk from room to room to clear the space, while stating your intention or request.

4. Release Spirits (if necessary)

Cross over any Spirits that need to go into the Light and tell anything Dark to leave.

5. Final clearing and release

After that - I generally call Divine Light down through the entire space and conduct a special power wash through the space. Once done, I open all the windows to let out the energy or Spirits that need to leave the structure at this time.

6. Call in positive, loving Spirits

Depending on who owns the house and the space, at the end, I'll burn sweet grass and welcome in the Spirit Guides, Angels, Loved Ones (and earth Spirits of the area) to assist in naturally clearing and protecting the house after the ritual is complete.

This is the basic, yet flexible, outline for a small space clearing process!

I include Sage in my process, but it is not necessarily a mandatory need to get the job done.
