Incense Sticks

Incense has been used for thousands of years for important events. The powerful aroma that incense produces is what heals a person's body as a whole in a multitude of ways; especially since the power of smell has more of an effect on the brain than we realize. When you smell something pleasant, your brain automatically begins to calm down and finds balance. To begin enjoying this calming ritual, decide what type of incense you want: direct or indirect. Indirect incense doesn't involve setting it on fire. Instead, this type of incense requires a heat source, such as coals or embers, that sit directly beneath it. This technique is generally used when the incense is in a raw state. In contrast, direct incense is the most common form of incense today; as well as the easiest to use. This is when the incense is bound to other types of flammable substances, like oil, and rolled around a bamboo core using compression and water. This allows for a very easy, steady burn and is typically used with incense holders. 

Essential Oils

For centuries, herbs and plants have been used by many to heal various ailments. Nowadays, these miraculous healing tools are being used in the form of essential oils. Through a process of distillation, essential oils are extracted from flowers, branches, leaves, and roots. These highly-concentrated oils can be diffused, eaten, or topically applied. Some oils can even be applied to the hands, wrists, feet, abdomen, or lower back to provide support for various functions in the body. Essential oils can also be used to uplift your spirit, purify sacred spaces, and promote positivity. 

Meditation

With the purpose of calming the mind and the body, incense is commonly used during meditation and yoga. This peaceful practice began as far back as the Egyptians when they would burn dried flowers to produce a beautiful aroma. While incense sticks naturally relax the mind and body, they are even more powerful when they are used during premeditation rituals and meditation. Many Buddhists light incense sticks before they begin their meditation to help clear their mind and prepare it for the journey it's about to take. During meditation, the aroma from the incense sticks can elevate your senses and help you focus on the present moment. If you turn this into a ritual every time you meditate, your mind will start to connect the incense with meditation and will signal your mind to start calming down and focusing.
