Halito Shelly You can use a sage bundle to do it. What I usially do and this is the way we bless the Sweat lodge also. First you burn juniper and Tobacco to call all of the Spirit's. You have to call all of them good and bad at the same time. Then you burn Sage to ask the bad ones to leave in a good way. When you smndge with the Sage go compleatly around your property line in a clockwise direction , then each Room inside the house from the outer walls ending up in the center of your home. Always in a clock wise direction. Then each member of you household. Hold the sage toward the east Say a prayer to grandfather and ask his blessings for what you have just done. This is the way I was taught to do it.
