I constantly have temperature issues with that room, we've checked the vents for blockages, and the house could use some extra insulation, but I don't think that is what makes it so cold (wink). Our home was an estate sale and although the previous owners did not die in it, the man of the house was very sick/disabled before he died. I think any area can benefit from smudging, initially I used it again for the SE corner of our home, which happens to be the master bedroom. This sage is very hearty, if you can, put it in a pot to prevent it from taking over your garden. I don't see why you couldn't also use it for burning though.

Hey Tsmog, I've personally never used Hummingbird sage. Rebecca (author) from USA on December 16, 2013: Notice the immediate emotional benefits! If you're having a really hectic week, burn it more often! It will clear old energy, allowing new to move in. When feasible burn sage weekly in living spaces you will notice a lightness of energy and calm come into your living quarters with this practice.Incense is not necessary but is lovely to burn after smudging. My personal favorites are Sandalwood, Nag Champa, Nitiraj, but any incense will do.
Sage is more masculine/yang energy and complemented by the feminine/yin aspect of incense. Many don't, but this is something I do each and every time I smudge my entire home.
#Sage burning windows
Be sure to concentrate especially on high traffic areas such as doors, door frames, hallways, windows (thresholds where energy passes frequently) as well as corners and closets if you are cleansing rooms. Proceed to cleanse your space, or spaces, by slowly moving throughout your home, office, or near people or persons, allowing the smoke to go into each area you are cleansing.Some also believe that if you don't know what parts of a home need cleansed, to ignite it and allow the trail of smoke to lead you.

Continue to hold the purpose clearly and concretely in your mind before and during the burning. Whether that includes prayer, meditation, or simply stating your reason, do this first. Before burning sage, state your intentions around burning it clearly.The theory behind this burning ritual is that the smoke will attach itself to negative energy, and as the smoke clears away, it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another space where it can then be recycled into positive energy. If you have imbalances (physical, emotional, spiritual) in your life, it can negatively affect your overall health and well-being. All one needs to do to gain these benefits is to burn it in their home or any place needing cleansing. What other benefits come from burning sage? Sage brings wisdom (old sage/wise), clarity, energy cleansing, and increased spiritual intuition. The Latin word for sage is salvia, from the root salvus, meaning healthy.

Other cultures have incorporated this practice for many years. Indigenous American culture is the most commonly associated culture with the practice of burning sage in the U.S. Sage burning, also known as "smudging," is an old, tried-and-true method of cleansing a person, group of people, pets, sleeping quarters, or living and working spaces.
