Sandalwood is mentioned in many suttas in the Pali Canon. Considered to be a favorite substance of Amitabha Buddha, sandalwood is widely believed to transform desire and foster concentration, which is why it has been used in incense, healing, and religious ceremonies for centuries, and continues to be treasured today. Sandalwood's gentle perfume is soothing and peaceful.
​
Obsidian is said to foster clarity of mind, an expanded consciousness, and a greater awareness of habitual patterns. This volcanic stone is also said to soothe arthritis and other joint problems.
