How do you smudge a room or person?

You can do smudging in different ways. One way is to leave a burning smudge in a bowl somewhere safe. In this way the smoke spreads itself and cleans a permanent place or person. Of course you can also spread the smoke by lightly waving a feather or a fan. Another way is to walk around with it and send the smoke to certain places. This can be accompanied by a ritual in which, for example, certain prayers are said.
