How to use Palo Santo
To start the ritual, take a moment to express gratitude and set your intention for the practice. Next, open the windows to let in fresh air and positive energy. Light the incense stick and watch the flame dance for 20 seconds before extinguishing it. Now, take the smoking stick and waft the fragrant smoke around yourself and the corners of your room. Be sure to smoke any objects you wish to purify for at least 30 seconds, and then place the used incense stick in a ceramic dish or shell once you are finished. Remember not to extinguish the stick with water, which can damage the Palo Santo. Each stick can last up to 10 to 15 uses so that you can enjoy the benefits of this purifying ritual for a long time.
