How to use it
-
Light it before you sit, not after. Give it two or three minutes to settle into an even burn so you are not managing it mid-practice.
-
Place it behind you or to the side. Directly in front of a seated body is usually too much smoke in the face.
-
Ventilate. A window cracked a hand-width keeps the room breathable across a long sit.
-
Extinguish deliberately in sand or a heat-proof dish when you finish, and relight the same stick next time.
-
Pair it with a fixed cushion and a fixed hour — scent is the fastest cue there is for a body that is learning a routine.
✨ Temple Tip — scent is the cheapest habit anchor you own
Burn one incense for one practice and nothing else. After a few weeks the smell alone starts doing part of the work — the body recognizes the cue and settles before the mind has agreed to anything. Use a different stick for cleaning the flat, and keep this one for the cushion.
Questions we get asked
Is this a strong scent?
Yes, relative to a thin stick. It is deep and resinous rather than sharp, but the sticks are thick and one hour of burn fills a room properly. Start with fifteen minutes.
Will it awaken kundalini energy?
It is an incense. The name and the blend come from a tradition of association — we make no claim about what it does to your body or mind, and nothing here is medical advice.
Can I put one out and relight it?
Yes — that is how the maker intends them to be used. Press the lit end gently into sand or a heat-proof dish, let it cool, and relight when you next sit down.
Do I need a holder?
Yes. Use a heat-proof holder or ash catcher on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a ventilated room, and never leave a burning stick unattended.
Can I return it?
No. Incense is a consumable and this item is non-returnable. If something arrives damaged, write to us and we will make it right.
California Proposition 65 warning: Burning incense produces combustion by-products. Use in a well-ventilated space.
Burn safely: Always burn in a heat-proof holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a well-ventilated room. Never leave a burning stick, bomb or disk unattended. Keep away from children, pets, curtains and anything that catches. Smoke-cleansing products give off a lot of smoke — start away from smoke detectors. Store dry and out of direct sun. A ritual object, not a remedy: traditional associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.
Grounding is usually the missing half of that conversation — signs and safe practice is the sober version. the full stick shelf holds the lighter meditation blends if an hour of resin is too much. Somewhere to burn it matters as much as the stick: a small, private altar.
For the sit that goes longer than you planned. #TempleOfDesire
