Burned as a cleansing incense and used as a smudging tool to release space from negative forces, palo santo wood invites practice with intention. The scent beckons a hundred stories; naturally occurring organic compounds\u00a0l<\/em>imonene<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0terpineol<\/em>\u00a0produce a\u00a0focal aura of citrus and cedar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choose a stick of palo santo wood from your bundle and hold one end of the stick over a flame until it begins to burn. Stay a few moments with the flame as it grows. Rattle the stick gently in a back-and-forth motion and let the cleansing smoke rise through the air. If the smoke shrinks, blow a little until the ember regains its deepest glow.<\/p>\n You can use palo santo wood to cleanse your space with a lit stick in your hands, moving the smoke around until its restful scent fills the room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Palo santo\u00a0is a type of tree (Bursera graveolens)\u00a0growing wild near the equator and down into South America. \u00a0This tree species is known for its healing properties and has a deep spiritual history.\u00a0History immersed in ritual.
