Welcome South Australian Sandalwood.  
 
This is one of the four Sacred plants of the Australian Medicine Wheel, that I have been guided to work with.  She sits in the South, with the Ancestors and Elders and helps us find deep stillness and sacredness.  
 
These beautiful sticks come from already dead branches on live Sandalwood trees that won't be cut down.  They are cared for by a loving Brother that holds deep sacredness for Sacred Plants of Australia.  This is true sustainablility!
 
Sandalwood is the Sacred Plant for the South.  In the Southern Hemisphere Medicine Wheel, this is the place of our Elders and Ancestors.  The place of deep winter and the Mental Body.  Sandalwood has a stimulating effect on the pineal and pituitary glands, as well as the third eye chakra which assist us to access the southern archetype of the Visionary.  Sandalwood is known for clearing the mind and bringing calmness to the entire being, while promoting inner peace and feelings of greater unity.  Sandalwood helps bring you to the moment and has a strong grounding effect.  If you find yourself distracted mentally, or feel out of your body energetically, Sandalwood can bring you to the present moment.
 
Sandalwood can be burnt in the same way as Palo Santo.
 
In Many traditional cultures, herbs and woods were burnt to clean and clear people and spaces.
Burning these herbs helps clean and clear the energy field of stagnant and unwanted energies. And has also been found to kill 99% of airborn bacterias and viruses.
