Palo Santo
 
Sustainably sourced from the Peruvian Amazonia, Palo Santo or 'Holy Wood' is the wood from the branches of the Bursera graveolens tree, native to the region. When burned, it produces an enriching aroma which provides an energetic atmostphere that fills your home with positivity and a strong sense of well being. Lighting a Palo Santo stick provides the most ideal aura to achieve physical, emotional and spiritual equilibrium.
 
Abalone Shell
 
Abalone Shells are often used in smudging rituals, not only because they are practical in that they catch the hot cinders that fall away from the smudging stick during burn, but also becasue they are a beautiful gift that is naturally provided by Mother Earth's Ocean bed. Shimmering with gorgeous iridescent colours of mother of pearl, they hold the energy of the ocean which in turn brings about a strong sense of calm and relaxation. 
 
Smudging with Abalone Shell
 
Including Abalaone shell in your smudging ritual means your are incorporating all four of Mother Earth's elements - The shell represents Water, the un-lit sticks represent Earth, the lit sticks represent Fire and the smoke emitted represents the element of Air. With the magical compostion of all these elements, you are inviting Mama Gaia to be the focus of your smudging ceremony.  It is now that you have created the most perfect ambience for transformations and manifestations to occur.
