Palo Santo Sticks

 The burning of Palo Santo has been used to purify the area of negative energies and to bring clarity and healing to our spiritual body, and make way for us to connect with our higher purpose in meditation.

How To Smudge

Prepare a fire resistant dish or shell with sand to hold your smudge stick/sage or to extinguish it once you have completed your clearing. Light your smudge at one end until it is full in flame and then gently wave or blow the flame out resulting in a smudging smoke.

To cleanse the energies of a space open a door and a window to allow the energies to flow freely as you clear that, which no longer serves your higher purpose. Prepare your smudge and shell as described above. Begin the clearing from the door of the space you wish to clear and the move around the room along the wall until you have completed a full pass of the space. Once you have completed the round you can place your smudge stick in fire resistant shell to smolder at the center of the room and begin your meditation practice or be sure to fully extinguish the sage smudge if you plan to leave the space.

To cleanse a person, you will prepare Palo Santo and shell as above. Begin the smudging from the feet of yourself or another on the front side of the body and concluding on the back pane of yourself or friend. Don’t forget to clear the space above making way for your higher purpose.
