If you're smudging yourself fan the smoke so that it touches all parts of you. You may want to especially focus on areas where you feel there are blockages or where there has been or is physical, emotional, or psychic pain. Have a fireproof receptacle to put the smudge stick in when you've finished, such as a shell or glass or ceramic dish. Always make sure that a smudge stick is out before leaving the room where you keep it.
