What is a mindful living?

A practice of daily remembering that you are pure original energy taking a temporary human form.

Here is how a practice might look like:

Elevate your Ki vibration. Ki energy is the life force in your body and in every living entity. It is a universal energy that penetrates everywhere, uniting all seen and unseen manifestations. In Japan, it is referred to as "Ki." In China, it is mentioned as "Chi" or "Qi" and in Sanskrit, it is known as "Prana." You can do this through mindful breathing, conscious body movement, emotionally-activated gratitude, and through potent materials such as palo santo or crystals.
Get quiet and listen. Your intuition will speak to and through you.
Come back the next day.

Committing to be back again and again, curious and nonjudgemental, you will contribute the building blocks to your journey of mindful living.

What is palo santo?

Palo santo (Bursera Graveolens) is a wild tree native of South America.

After the tree has naturally fallen and stays on the forest floor for at least five years, aromatic oils start to develop, giving this wood its unique aroma and energy. Only trees that have naturally fallen will go through this process. This is what sustainably harvested, reclaimed palo santo means.

If the tree is cut when it is still living, the oils will not come into being.

Our wood has been sustainably harvested and reclaimed from Peru in 1989. Over the past thirty years, is has been developing its aroma and energy.

How do I care for my palo santo products?

Keep them away from water, aromatic oils, and direct sun exposure.

Prolonged sweat also affects its appearance. While the contact with your skin doesn't damage the wood, the amulet or beads' appearance will change, and the wood will become bleached.

What is our environmental commitment?

We pledge to honor and support the region where our wood comes from.
A percentage of our revenue is used to plant trees in Peru through our partnership with 1% for the Planet.
