How to use it
-
Pick the blend to match the room, not the mood. Maha fills a space and stays; Gaia keeps it feeling open.
-
Use Maha for connection — shared rooms, evenings with people in them, anything to do with affection or communication.
-
Use Gaia for meditation and yoga, or simply when you want the room cozy without it becoming heavy.
-
Do not burn both at once. They are designed as alternatives, and together they cancel each other out.
-
Give the box, keep one blend. It splits cleanly as a gift if you want it to.

✨ Temple Tip — do not burn them together
Two masala blends in one room does not produce a third blend — it produces a muddle, because the eucalyptus in Gaia cuts directly across the amber and musk in Maha. Choose one per evening. If you want to compare them properly, burn them in different rooms on the same night rather than one after the other in the same one.
Questions we get asked
What is in the Maha blend?

How long does a stick burn?
Approximately one hour, and the sticks can be extinguished and relit for shorter sessions.

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.
