2. SMUDGING WITH SAGE NEUTRALIZES THE POSITIVE IONS IN THE ROOM
Makes the energy around us more free. When you are stressed, angry or tense, there is a buildup of positive ions in the air that is being released from your body.

Now, just to be clear, positive ions, aren't the same thing as positive vibes, positive ions are harmful and can cause us to feel tired and burnt out. Smudging turns the positive ions back to negative ones and therefore the practice of smudging cleanses and purifies the atmosphere.
