-
Repeat the words softly: unconditional love. Let the phrase carry the session rather than trying to think your way through it.
-
Light the stick as a symbol of the commitment, not as the thing that does the work.
-
Stand barefoot if you can, to ground your energy, and reflect on where your own strength has already carried you.

✨ Temple Tip — one stick, several sittings
Because these extinguish and relight cleanly, a single stick can hold a whole week of five-minute sittings rather than one long one. For grounding work, short and daily beats long and occasional almost every time. Snuff it in sand rather than water — a wet stick will not relight well.
If you burn by the day rather than by the mood, our guide to planetary incense by day of the week is a workable place to start. The rest of the range is in Incense Sticks & Cones.
Questions we get asked
What does it smell like?
Sandalwood and roses — warm and resinous underneath, floral at the top.
Which ritual incense should I start with?
If you want something for daily grounding, this one. Inner Strength and Self Love sit close together; Inner Strength is the steadier of the two.
How long does one stick burn?
Approximately 60 minutes. The sticks are designed to be extinguished and relit, so a single stick can carry several shorter sittings.
What makes this incense different?
It uses a fruit-biomass base rather than the charcoal base most incense is built on — an upcycling choice that reduces the charcoal in the product.
Is it hand-made?
Yes. Handmade, hand-rolled, and hand-packaged.
Do I need a special holder?
You need a heat-proof holder that catches ash and holds the stick steady. Anything that can tip or scorch is not suitable.
Care & safety: Burn in a heat-proof holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, within sight, away from drafts, curtains, and anything that can catch. Never leave burning incense unattended or within reach of children or pets. Ventilate the room during and after burning. Extinguish fully before leaving. California Proposition 65 warning: burning incense produces smoke and combustion by-products, including chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. A ritual tool — no outcome is promised, and nothing here is medical, legal, or financial advice.
Light it, then go do the thing you have been putting off. #TempleOfDesire
