I just got back from Angel Camp in Orange County California!  I stayed in a beautiful Westin Hotel.  I have learned so much this year about clearing energy and lifting the space with essential oils that this time I went prepared to make the room a sacred space.
I brought with me
1. VibeRaiser Essential oil spray that Sunny Dawn Johnston sells
2. some of my favourite crystals as well as selenite
3. some of my favourite cards and a scarf to read the cards on.

Instead of just throwing my suitcase on the floor, I took the suitcase stand out of the closet and neatly arranged it in a corner.
I hung up my clothes in the closet and I arranged my toiletries nicely in the washroom.

Once I was set up I made sure that I had enough bottled water and a few snacks.  Being diabetic it is important to know where the room service menu is too!   Drinking a lot of water while on vacation is essential to maintain your hydration to be able to think and process through whatever you are learning.

In the morning wake up early to ensure that you have time for your daily spiritual practice.  Set your intentions and goals, pray, meditate, exercise, eat etc. ( I looked for the bible in the room as well.  I feel connected with the word of God close by)

When you get back after your day out and about, its always good to have a cleansing shower or epsom/sea-salt bath to wash off the energy of the day.  For protection during the day I used my protection blend essential oil.

Most of all when travelling remember to be PRESENT and have FUN.  leave the cares of the world at home and enjoy every moment.  I know that the more I stayed in gratitude, God gave me more to be grateful for.

I smiled a lot and made friends wherever I went.  The staff was courteous and kind and it felt like home away from home.

It is important to note the safety rules of the hotel as well.  Where the stairs are and what process the have in case of emergency.

I also checked out where the ice machine was, coffee shop etc.

Next time you go away I hope that you will do something to make your room a sacred space for the duration of your stay too.  If you have any great ideas to share please add in the comments.
Namaste, love and angel blessings.

Smuding is a practice known to many different religions throughout the world.  Buddhists use incense and Catholic churches use Frankincense.  Native Americans/Canadians use sage, sweetgrass, cedar and other herbs.

HOW TO SMUDGE?
Place the material of choice into a shell, clay pot, or other non burnable container or vessel.  Light it and allow it to burn for a minute.  Blow out the flame.  It is the smoke that is created that clears the negativity, cleanses, focuses and purifies.  I always open my windows and doors to allow fresh air in.

HERBS BEST USED FOR SMUDGING.
Sage- purifies, heals, banishes negative energy and carries protection energy.  It is used to bless cleanse and heal a person, space or object. 
Cedar- spiritual protection. Helps heal medical issues, speeds recovery, gives an instant feeling of peace.  It is often used to clear a new home and protect it from unwanted influences.
Sweetgrass- removes negativity.  Improves space with loving peaceful energy and is used to create harmony in the home.  It helps attract new energy.  ITs sweet vanilla scent is used to sustain the effects of smudging.
 Tobacco- enhances spirit communication and gives powerful insights, heals old wounds.

When smudging I call in GOD to bless the space.  I ask the angels, guides, guardians to help me clear the space.  I ask that only positivity remain.  
I learned recently that you can pray while doing it and also perform the sign of the cross at the doors. 

Walk around the perimeter of the house or room, wafting the smoke to each corner and outside. Use a feather ( not owl) I use a turkey feather that I blessed by thanking the animal that provided it... to push the smoke to each place in the house, or use your hands. As you pass by an open door or window, you may use the feather to push the smoke outside, carrying with it the negative energies. 


Just  follow your gut when doing it.. some people do all the rooms in the house.. some do the main level only.. depends on how the energy feels when you begin.  Its all in the intention that is set before you do it.

When complete and the ashes are cool, return them to the earth giving thanks to the earth for the plants that aided in the smudging.

Smudging is a sacred act.  Thank God, guides, guardians and angels for helping you.
