2. Creating Smoke: Fan the smoldering sage to produce a steady stream of smoke. The aromatic smoke is what carries the cleansing properties.

3. Directing the Smoke: Move the sage bundle around the space or object you wish to cleanse, guiding the smoke with intention. Ensure the smoke reaches all corners of the area.

How to Extinguish White Sage:

1. Safe Extinguishing: When you've completed your cleansing ritual, gently press the smoldering end of the sage bundle against a fireproof surface like a ceramic dish or bowl.

2. Ensuring No Flames: Make sure there are no active flames before leaving the sage unattended.

3. Minimal Moisture Method: To ensure the sage is fully extinguished, you can lightly dampen a paper towel. Gently press the smoldering end against the damp surface.

4. Avoid Using Fingers: Never use your fingers to extinguish the sage, as it may still be hot.

5. Storage After Use: Once completely extinguished, store the sage bundle in a fireproof container.
