How to Light Palo Santo
Light the tip till it has caught the flame, then waft the flame out, like a usual incense stick and let it smoke as it gently burns down. Light it again if it goes out.
- 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 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 fireproof bowl and allow the embers to burn out
- Remember to always exercise care and caution when working with fire
