How to use Palo Santo for manifestation to attract goodness into your life.

Using Palo Santo for manifestation is a beautiful practice that combines the aromatic and spiritual properties of Palo Santo with the power of intention to attract and manifest the life you desire. Here are some steps to help you bring Palo Santo to your mindfulness and manifestation practice

• Set your intention.
  Before beginning your manifestation practice, clarify your intention or the specific outcome you wish to manifest. This could be a specific goal, a positive change, or something you desire to bring into your life. Be clear and specific about what you want to manifest.

• Go to your sacred space.
  Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus without distractions. Bring in some crystals or other tokens that create a sense of safety in your space. Take a moment to appreciate the space and show gratitude towards your little sanctuary. This step helps clear away any negative energy and create a sacred environment.

• Ground yourself.
  Take a few deep breaths and centre yourself. If you feel called to do so, close your eyes and visualise roots growing from your feet into the earth, grounding you and connecting you with the energy of the earth.

• Gently light your Palo Santo.
  Light the end of the Palo Santo stick or smudge bundle and let it burn for a few seconds. Then gently blow out the flame, allowing the wood to smolder and release its fragrant smoke. I adore this scent!

• State your intention.
  Hold the smoking, glowing Palo Santo in one hand and speak your intention clearly and confidently. Visualise your desire as if it has already manifested, and infuse your words with positive emotions and belief. Choose ‘I am...’ statements rather than ‘I will…’. Always ‘act as is.’ Read more here if you’re unsure what I mean.

• Move the smoke.
  Using your free hand or a feather, gently move the Palo Santo smoke around your body, starting from your feet and moving upward. Imagine the smoke wrapping around you and your intention, purifying and energising your aura.

• Direct your thoughts.
  As you move the Palo Santo smoke, focus your thoughts on your intention. Imagine it as if it has already come to fruition. Feel the emotions associated with achieving your desire, and believe in its manifestation. How does it feel to have reached the goal (that you’re wanting to reach)? How does it look, how does it sound? Act as is.

• Express gratitude.
  Express gratitude to the universe, spirit guides, and the higher power you believe in, for listening to your intention and assisting in its manifestation. Feel genuine gratitude for the blessings and opportunities that are on their way. We live such a beautiful life!

• Conclude your ritual.
  Once you have completed the smoke cleansing and visualisation, you can press the Palo Santo stick into a fireproof container, or a pot filled with sand. If you have nothing nearby you can also rinse the Palo Santo stick off with water. Save the Palo Santo for future use!

• Take inspired action.
  Manifestation requires more than just intention; it also involves taking inspired action towards your desired outcome. Look for opportunities, follow your intuition, and take steps that align with your intention. Listen to your inner voice and trust that your dream life is already starting to happen for you.
  
  You can repeat this practice frequently. I like to combine my New Moon manifestations with a beautiful Palo Santo ritual.
