Smudge and Santa Palo, Guide to use
### How to use the white sage and the Holy Palo for energy purification
White sage and Santo Palo are powerful and ancient tools used all over the world to purify energy, spaces and objects. These rituals, which have roots in indigenous traditions, have become increasingly popular even in modern well -being practices. In this article, we will explore how to best use these sacred tools to create a more serene and positive environment.
#### What is white sage?
White sage is a sacred plant used for centuries by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes. His leaves, once dried, are burned to purify the energy of spaces, people and objects. This process, known as smudging, is considered a way to eliminate negative energies and encourage spiritual renewal.
#### What is the Holy Palo?
The Holy Palo, which means "Holy Wood" in Spanish, is a tree originally from the tropical regions of South America. Holy pole wood is renowned for its sweet and woody aroma, which is released when it is burned. Used by the indigenous populations of the Andes, the Holy Palo is known for its purifying properties and for its power to remove negative energies.
#### How to prepare for the purification ritual
Before starting, make sure you have everything you need:
- a bunch of white sage or loose leaves
- Palo Santo sticks
- a candle or matches
- a heat -resistant container (such as a shell or a ceramic bowl)
- optionally, a feather or a range to spread smoking
#### How to use the white sage
To purify with the white sage, he begins by turning on one end of the bunch until he took the leaves on fire. He blows gently to turn off the flame and let the smoke begin to spread. Walk slowly through the room, spreading smoking in every corner, since it is there that stagnant energy often accumulates. If you want, you can accompany the ritual with an intention or prayer to strengthen the purifying effect.
If, on the other hand, you are purifying an object, pass it through smoking, focusing on the intention to remove any unwanted energy. For the purification of a person, direct the smoke from head to toe, always keeping a positive intention.
#### How to use the Holy Palo
The Holy Palo is used similarly to white sage. Turn on one end of the stick and let it burn for about 30 seconds, then blow to turn off the flame. The stick will begin to release an aromatic smoke that you can spread in the room, concentrating on the corners and the less frequented areas.
To purify an object, pass it through the smoke of the Holy Palo, keeping the mind focused on the purpose of purification. If you are purifying a person, move the stick around his body, paying particular attention to areas such as head and heart.
#### Final considerations
The use of white sage and the Holy Palo goes beyond the simple physical gesture of burning plants: it is an intentional act that requires awareness and respect. Both practices offer a way to get rid of negative energies and promote a more balanced and positive environment.
When you use these tools, take the time necessary to reflect on your intentions and thank the nature for providing these gifts. It also recalls to use the white sage and the Holy Palo sparingly, respecting their sacred origins and the environment from which they come.
That you are trying to purify your home, your office, or simply to renew your personal energy, these rituals can offer you a powerful support for your daily spiritual practice.
