Palo Santos (Holy Wood)

Palo Santo is known for enhancing creativity and bring good fortune to those who are open to its wondrous ways.

Palo Santo is Spanish for Holy Wood, and is one of nature’s awesome tools for raising vibrations, and purifying and cleansing your space. You can use it either to clear a space of negative or unwanted energies; for meditation; or for cleansing your crystals.

Cleansing the Home:Take one stick and light it with a candle, match or lighter.Allow the Palo Santo stick to burn for 30 seconds to a minute, then carefully blow it out.Move around the space in which you wish to clear the energy - be it your bedroom, office, car or your entire home - allowing the smoke to waft around each area.

As you take the Palo Santo stick into the corners of each room or space you are cleansing, say aloud: "I ask that the plant spirit of Palo Santo please infuse this space with blessings". A rich smell will fill the air, bringing peace and clarity to the moment.Once you feel you have cleansed your space, place the Palo Santo stick in a abalone shell or fireproof bowl to allow the embers to burn out.

Remember to always exercise care and caution when working with fire.
