Clear Your Energy and Space Clearing with Palo Santo Ritual

Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens) means “Holy Wood” in Spanish or literal transition (Saint Stick)  . These sticks are gathered sustainably from the forest floors of Peru, South America.

Palo Santo has an exquisite aroma with tones of mint, lemon and pine.

These aromatic sticks can be used in techniques of space and energy clearing. For my palate, the aroma is more pleasant than sage and (if you are tolerant to smoke).

How to use: Ignite your Palo Santo stick and let the stick burn for 30-60 seconds and then blow the flame out. The smoke will continue for a couple of minutes where you can walk through rooms to spread the aroma. Another option is to sit in the stillness of the aroma.

When you are finished, place your stick in a fireproof bowl. The glow will end on its own, unless you continue to blow onto the ignited end to produce more smoke. Ensure the Palo Santo stick is completely extinguished prior to leaving unattended. The same stick is then used again and again until it is too small to do so.

If you are not tolerant to smoke, remember to use space clearing essential oils in a diffuser in preference to smoke producing techniques such as palo santo, sage, incense or incense cones. .
