Burning Sage + Palo Santo Sticks
White Sage + Palo Santo
To start, you will need a match or a lighter to ignite the end of the sage or palo santo stick. Hold the flame to the stick for approximately 20-30 seconds until it catches fire and begins to produce smoke. Once the stick is lit, blow out the flame gently. This will allow the stick to smolder and release its fragrant smoke without an active flame.

Cleansing
White sage is used to purify the energy in your home. Now, you can begin wafting the smoke around the desired areas of your space. This can be done by gently waving or fanning the stick in different directions, allowing the smoke to disperse throughout. To smudge, create a link between the white sage and spiritual ceremonies or customs. Palo Santo can be used in the same way.

Ventilated Spaces
Remember that sage and palo santo should be used in well-ventilated spaces and should not be inhaled directly. Ensure that you have an open window or door in the room where you plan to smudge. This allows any negative energy or smoke to exit the space. It's crucial for proper ventilation during the process. If you have any respiratory conditions or sensitivities, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using palo santo or any other type of incense.

Enjoy The Experience
White Sage and Palo Santo have numerous benefits, including its ability to clear negative energy, promote relaxation, and enhance focus. When burning white sage or palo santo, it's important to set your intention before starting the smudging process. This can be done through meditation or simply stating your intention out loud. It is important to exercise caution while handling burning palo santo sticks. Make sure you have a heat-resistant dish or holder nearby where you can place the burning end safely after each use. Additionally, always keep an eye on open flames and never leave them unattended.
