The lovely Palo Santo is a very balancing, calming and grounding essential oil. It can help with feelings of stress and anxiety. It is also to enhance creativity and bring good fortune. The scent is sweet, balsamic and woody, with hints of lemon and mint. It is quite unique.
On a metaphysical level Palo Santo can help dispel negativity and clear negative energies. It is truly a spiritual oil.
Deep Meditation
The art of meditation is deeply relaxing, grounding and healing. It is a practice I do at least three times a week, sometimes more if I’m feeling stressed or under pressure. It helps relax my body and mind, and allows me to decompress.
I apply this blend onto my pulse points before I meditate to help me to switch my brain off. In a 10ml roller bottle I add:
- 2 drops of Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens)
- 2 drops of Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha)
- 2 drops of Frankincense (Boswellia serrata)
- 10ml Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis)
Safety: Do a patch test before applying to your skin. This involves placing a small amount of diluted oil onto a bandaid. Then, place it on the skin for 24 hours to see if there is any noticeable reaction. If you are pregnant or have any underlying conditions it is best to speak with a medical professional before use.
