Palo Santo
Palo Santo is Spanish for "Holy Wood"; The Tree of Life! The wood is cut into tiny sticks used to be burned slowly creating a trail of smoke.
Palo Santo is used for cleansing and removing negative energy and bad vibes. It brings peace and tranquility and can be used for meditation, spiritual awareness, yoga practice, reiki, crystal healing/ cleansing etc. Shamans have used Palo Santo in ceremonies and rituals for centuries....
To light the wood; hold it at a 45 degree angle and allow it to catch on fire before waving it around to allow the smoke to begin its cleansing. Then smudge out in our Abalone dishes or on a ceramic dish or run under water to ensure all embers are out.
Sage Sticks
Sage is a herb that is generally grown and then bound with twine to become a stick! You can also get Floral Sage sticks where flower petals are bound in the sage to create a different vibe. Sage is used for cleansing and removing negative energy and bad vibes.
