The ancient practice of Shamanism teaches us that plants have spirits, and that these spirits can be strong medicine. The shaman turns to the spirit of the plant, asking for healing. It is believed that the spirit of the Palo Santo tree contains within it a wisdom that enables the smoke of this burning wood to heal people, but it is a sensitive process that requires a great deal of respect for the tree. It has been burned by Shamans for centuries to clear negativity, attract positive vibrations, as the naturally fragrant smoke of this sacred wood enters and purifies the energetic field. It is also sought after to enhance meditation and concentration. These incense sticks are extremely unique in that they are not held together by any chemicals or isolated oils, but are a rare blend of 100% natural ingredients.
