How to Burn Palo Santo:

Palo Santo, also known as “holy wood,” is a natural wood incense used for cleansing spaces, meditation, and spiritual rituals. Here’s how to safely and effectively burn it:

 What You’ll Need:

  • A stick or cone of Palo Santo
  • A lighter or match
  • A fireproof bowl, dish, or incense holder

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Set Your Intention
    Before lighting, take a moment to set your intention. Whether it’s to cleanse energy, relax, or meditate, focusing on your purpose adds meaning to the ritual.
  2. Light the Stick
    Hold one end of the Palo Santo stick and light the other end with a lighter or match. Let it burn for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, fan it out lightly until it begins to smolder and releases fragrant smoke.
  3. Waft the Smoke
    Move the stick around your space, body, or items you want to cleanse. Use your hand or a feather to waft the smoke gently.
  4. Place in a Safe Spot
    Set the stick down in a fireproof bowl or holder. It will continue to smolder for a few minutes. If it goes out, you can relight it.
  5. Extinguish (If Needed)If you want to put it out early, press the burning end into sand or a heat-safe surface until the smoke stops.

Safety Tips:

  • Never leave burning Palo Santo unattended.
  • Use in a well-ventilated area.
  • Keep away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets.
