In this masterful work, Jacquelin Guiteau gives us a glimpse of  the sophistication and complexity of the traditional art of  smudging. Far from being merely about nice scents to feel good,  smudging in the hands of a trained traditional practitioner is a  powerful tool for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing.  Within the context of traditional holistic healing, a precise energetic  assessment of the ills is crucial. Depending on what the healer  finds, different prayers, techniques, plant helpers and other actions  are called for, as clearly outlined in the book.  Ultimately, the smudging scents are The Breath of the Divine,  linking our life's path to the divine and the universe.
