Palo Santo Wood Stick

Palo santo is one of the tree species known for its energy benefits, since its wood is often used as incense around the house. In addition to cleaning the energies, the intense aroma with a citrus touch of the palo santo helps to bring peace and tranquility to the people who inhabit the space.
 
Palo Santo means "Holy Wood" and is used in cleansing and purifying rituals in much the same way as White Sage Smudge. It is a wonderful, deeply aromatic wood which has been used by the Incas and people of the Andes for many centuries. It's purpose is to purify and cleanse, to get rid of evil spirits and influences and it's smoke is believed by many to have healing and therapeutic powers. Each stick is about 4 inches long and half an inch wide (varies as this is a natural product!). This material is from Peru.
 
Just choose the amount of these wonderfully scented, premium quality Palo Santo Sticks you need! You can choose 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz or 1 lb. Natural item so please allow for some variance from item to item.
 
PALO SANTO (HOLY WOOD) FOR CLEANSING: The ritual of Palo Santo burning has its beginnings in the South America native traditions. People burn Palo Santo and also other holy herbs to cleanse and protect their environments, objects and even people from negative energy.
 
REPELS NEGATIVITY: It is common to find Palo Santo as an important smudging tool for some spiritual rituals in South America. This ancient ceremony is used to clear all the negative energy we accumulate from people, places, or even objects that we have in our homes.
 
INTENTION: “Set up your intention” when burning this Stick, so that it’s power is directed towards what you are aiming for. It is very important to have a positive attitude and focus you mind, body and heart around a specific aim. I suggested to purchase the Palo Santo Candle.
IMPORTANT:  Do not use if you suffer from Asthma or have respiratory issues. Do not use near infants or young children or anyone who is or may be pregnant. 

Do not leave burning smudge unattended! If you are just starting out with smudging don't be too worried about which instructions are 'correct' 
or 'work best'. 

Do what works best for you and 'feels right’ for you. Your 'intention' is a key component of the ritual so be clear on what you want to achieve and keep that in mind as you perform the ritual. At the end of the ceremony make sure the stick is extinguished. You can crush the end in sand or dirt, place the cover of the pot over it or simply place the stick in the open water container. Just be sure the stick is extinguished before it is left.
