What is Palo Santo? – with Carli<\/h1>\n

Smudging<\/a><\/strong> is the ritual of cleaning the energy of physical space<\/strong>, object<\/strong> or person<\/strong>. Palo Santo sticks can be used for smudging to clear negative energy<\/strong> in your home.<\/p>\n

This is called the ‘Holy Wood’<\/strong>, as it is believed that the Crucifix Jesus died on was made from Palo Santo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to Use in Meditation<\/h2>\n

If you have a meditation<\/strong><\/a> ritual, you can burn Palo Santo before your practice. This will help prepare your energy<\/strong> and mind<\/strong> for meditation and allow you to connect more easily.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its high resin content, this wood is believed to release its purifying properties when burned. In the Shamanic<\/strong><\/a> history of South America, it is said to remove negativity<\/strong> and attract good fortune<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cleanse Your Home<\/h2>\n

To smudge your home, take the stick into the corners of each room<\/strong> or space you are cleansing, starting upstairs and say aloud: “I ask that the smoke of Palo Santo infuse this space with blessings”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A rich smell will fill the air, bringing peace<\/strong> and clarity<\/strong> to the moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to Use<\/h2>\n

Light a stick of Palo Santo and let the flame burn for up to one minute. Blow it out and walk through the areas you wish to cleanse<\/strong>, allowing the smoke to waft<\/strong> through the room.<\/p>\n

With a spirit of gratitude, ask the smoke for its blessing<\/strong> and protection<\/strong>. Smudging in the summertime provides the additional benefit of warding off mosquitoes in a natural, non-harmful way.<\/p>\n

Palo Santo features volatile oils<\/strong> and aromatic resins<\/strong> that communicate a warning sign to pesky bugs, but without the harsh chemicals of products such as DEET.<\/p>\n

Vibrational Cleansing<\/h2>\n

Crystals<\/strong><\/a> do much of the heavy lifting in the work of drawing out negative energy. Like humans, crystals benefit from a ritualistic cleansing<\/strong> to maintain their best qualities.<\/p>\n

Performing a smudging practice every 2-3 days for your Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Jasper, Citrine, or other crystals, is a lovely way to keep your crystals primed<\/strong> for their true power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Using an Abalone Shell to catch the ash helps to raise the cleansing vibration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
