Incense and Meditation
A Subtle Tradition Serving Well-Being
For centuries, the alliance between incense and meditation has woven a unique link between spiritual tradition and the modern quest for well-being. Far beyond a simple fragrance, incense smoke invites itself into our meditation practices as a precious sensory ritual — an invitation to calm, introspection, and inner openness.
Why use incense in meditation?
Lighting incense marks a transition: the act signals the mind that a sacred moment is beginning. Certain scents — sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh — soothe mental agitation, enhance concentration, and rekindle a sense of presence to oneself. Thus, each session is anchored in reassuring regularity, where the familiar aroma awakens the body’s memory of calm and balance.
