Abalone Shell & Palo Santo Kit

Palo Santo x 3 (Bursera graveolens) - Palo Santo, translated from the Spanish words “Holy Stick” comes from a wild tree commonly found within the Yucatan Peninsula, Venezuela, and Peru. Originally discovered by Spanish monks, this holy wood was later also referred to as “the wood of the saints”. In accordance with local customs in South America, Palo Santo is used to combat “mala energy”, or “bad energy”, and in exchange, good energy is provided. Even within the time of the Incas, the oil of Palo Santo was used for spiritual purification, promoting a sense of relaxation and contentment. It is said that the spirit of this tree lives within the wood long after it has fallen. Palo Santo is never cut down, but rather collected after the natural death of the tree. The list of benefits for this aromatic wood can go on and on, with the following being some of the most apparent: uplifts the mood and increases vibrational frequency, grounds the internal body, brings chakras into alignment, relieves anxieties and patterns of worry, revitalizes the energy field, and increases vitality, stamina, and concentration. Just as the Shamans of Amazonia, we turn to the great purifying qualities of Palo Santo to provide relief from everyday worry so that we are able to focus completely on the task that stands before us.
