Rest it among raw Palo Santo chips to renew its natural aroma.

What is Mindful Living?

Mindful living is the practice of bringing attention and awareness into daily life — noticing your breath, surroundings, and actions with calm curiosity.

It can look like this:

Taking a moment to pause and breathe deeply.
Moving your body with intention.
Keeping a daily gratitude note.
Creating a calm ritual space with natural materials such as Palo Santo.

The goal is not perfection, but consistency — showing up for yourself with patience and care.

What is Palo Santo?

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a wild wood native to South America.
After a tree has naturally fallen and rests for several years, its aromatic oils begin to form, giving the wood its signature scent.

Only wood from naturally fallen trees is collected — a method known as sustainable harvesting or sustainable reclamation.
All Palo Santo used by Light of Ki was responsibly reclaimed in Peru in 1989, allowing the wood to mature naturally over decades.

How do I care for my Palo Santo products?

To preserve their beauty and aroma:

Keep them away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight.
Avoid exposure to perfume or heavy perspiration.
Natural contact with skin may gently lighten the color over time — a mark of genuine use and connection.
