Positive Energy Set – White Sage & Palo Santo

The Positive Energy Set contains the key elements to purify your space, body, and mind, thanks to the power of incense.

Native Americans purified their physical and emotional bodies, as well as places and objects, with the ritual of smudging. This ritual is a universal practice and is said to promote mental clarity, joy, and calm.

Palo Santo
Palo santo wood is used as incense to cleanse energies and purify the environment. It comes from the Bursera graveolens tree, native to South America. To use it, light the wood and then shake it to extinguish the flame. The smoke will release its delightful aroma. Our palo santo comes from fallen trees and complies with current regulations in Peru (the wood of the Bursera graveolens tree is not classified by CITES).

California White Sage
“What can a man die of who has sage in his garden?” This phrase from a treatise of the Salerno Medical School (12th-13th centuries) is significant. Sage is a medicinal plant whose name comes from the Latin *salvare*, to heal. It grows wild in southwestern North America, primarily in California and northwestern Mexico. Most of its properties are concentrated in the leaves, which absorb the sun’s energy and produce a large quantity of essential oils that aromatize the plant. They give off a very pleasant aroma that provides a feeling of well-being. Our sage is 100% naturally grown, without fertilizers or pesticides.

Abalone Shell
The abalone shell is a precious ritual object. Placing a little marble dust inside makes it a bowl for incense. Its mother-of-pearl interior displays beautiful iridescent reflections. It is said to provide a feeling of protection, purity, and balance. When smudging with abalone, the divine power of fire and the spirit of water are invoked in an energy cleansing ritual.

How to use
– Place a small amount of marble dust inside the abalone shell.
– Light the bundle or palo santo with a match. Blow on it to fan the flames and let it go out. Be careful of sparks!
– Place the lit part of the bundle inside the shell on top of the marble dust.
– Smudging: Bring the smoke close to the people participating in the ritual. With the feather, direct it to their head, back, arms, legs…
– Cleansing: Walk around the space to be purified with the shell, dispersing the smoke with the feather. Take it where your intuition guides you. Remember that intention is the foundation of any smudging: if your heart is pure and your desire noble, you will enhance its effects. Ventilate after use. Do not inhale the smoke directly. Fragrance: Assorted. Description: 21 x 16 x 5 cm. Contains 1 abalone shell and its poplar wood stand, palo santo, 1 bundle of white sage, 1 turkey feather, 1 marble dust bag, and matches.
