Abalone

Abalone shells are often used as tools to perform smudging rituals. These shells are considered a gift from the sea and, thus, symbolically represent the water element while the Palo Santo represents earth, the lit Palo Santo represents fire, and the smoke represents air.

Palo Santo Sticks 

Palo Santo literally translates to 'Holy Wood'. An aromatic wood with a warm, sweet, woodsy scent. Palo Santo wood has been used for centuries by the Incas and other indigenous peoples to guard against misfortune, negative thoughts, and bad energy. Traditionally said to be used for the relief of common colds and flu, stress, asthma, headaches, depression, anxiety, and inflammation, Palo Santo is also commonly used for calming the immune and nervous symptoms, aiding fast recovery from ailments and illnesses.

How to Use:

1. Open a few windows and doors to help any smoke and negative energy leave easily.

2. Start with a simple intention of focusing on clearing the negative energy out of your space and mind. Once your intention is set light the stick over the abalone bowl until a small flame has caught. While holding your Palo Santo over the bowl, lightly blow on the flame until it goes out. The stick will then smoke gently like incense. 
   

3. Walk around your home clockwise, carefully Using your hands or a feather to waft the smoke into all areas of your space. Be sure to allow the smoke to drift into even the hidden spaces, like inside closets, cupboards, basements, and dark corners. If there are stairs, go up or down when you encounter them. Then keep moving clockwise until you meet the stairs again. Then continue to go down or up the stairs and resume the main floor.
   

4. Remember that the goal is to allow a slight amount of smoke to move around your space; there’s no need to create a thick cloud of smoke!
