Lucky incense: swirls of luck and spirituality
In cone or stick form, lucky incense has been used for millennia for its health benefits. Its scents and perfumes fill temples all over the world. Its purification capabilities create Zen atmospheres conducive to relaxation.
During Christian masses, in temples throughout Asia or during health-related rituals: incense has always been used in conjunction with religious rites... but not only that. The least we can say is that determining precisely the meaning and origin of the use of lucky incense is a complicated task.
This doesn't scare us. So we set about it and the result of our research is interesting to say the least. Sticks or cones: aromatherapy and naturopathy teach us a lot about fumigating incense.
If it has been so popular, it is because incense has many benefits, particularly for health. Its smoke is indeed an ideal gateway to a state of mystical connection. It is not for nothing that lucky incense has been used during prayer sessions, meditations and spiritual reconnection since the dawn of humanity.
Whether it's reconnecting with yourself, or evolving toward higher levels of consciousness, we can all find value in lucky incense. Sandalwood, patchouli or lavender: the scent also plays its role
Besides its meaning and its spiritual origin, incense also has a much more practical role. Its scent can in fact be used to effectively deodorize the rooms of your house or apartment. For our part, we find this use less interesting... but hey, everyone has their own point of view after all!
In cone, stick or rod, lucky incense always amazes us. So, follow your nose and let it perfume your life. With your incense holder, your special case and your open mind, all you have to do is light it and enjoy its scents!
Actually, what is incense?
To put it simply, incense is an ambient product that you burn to release a fragrant smell and whose smoke contains active ingredients that act on human beings in a whole bunch of different ways (this can range from excitement to appeasement, through everything in between).
More scientifically, incense (from Latin: incendere meaning “to burn”) is composed of organic and aromatic materials which emit smoke with particular properties.
Often presented in the form of sticks, natural incense purifies an aromatic smoke with unique medicinal properties. This product therefore perfumes, but it also purifies and stimulates our esoteric power.
The materials used to make lucky incense are very numerous. Generally based on plants, we can find resins, barks, powders, roots, and essential oils of all kinds used in the manufacture of incense.
Truly, each recipe will be unique and will give you different effects.
For the record, incense has existed since Antiquity. People like the Greeks, Egyptians and Sumerians already used it during rituals and religious ceremonies.
Yes, the image of the Hindu temple filled with burning incense sticks in rooms dedicated to mystical trances is not just a legend. The information collected here on Hinduism shows this to you well.
We know that, from the beginning of its use, incense was used for its highly sacred and spiritual character. Talking about lucky incense is therefore probably not as stupid as that.
In reality, as soon as man discovered fire, he noticed that burning certain plants gave him pleasant effects on his health or well-being.
Perhaps the use of incense is as old as humanity in fact…
In any case, today we find this product in most esoteric or spiritual stores.
In the form of a cone, stick or resin to burn…
With hundreds of flavors and aromas…
Each having its own properties…
There is no doubt that you will find incense that suits you!
Religions and magic: the use of lucky incense
We told you that the priests and sages of yesteryear already used lucky incense, and it is true. Regardless of the fragrance, all were used during a particular ritual or sacred ceremony.
According to certain sources (writings, oral tradition, etc.), incense was once seen as a key to open the “gates to the higher realms”, a sort of first step towards certain spiritual processes.
Mystics and meditators throughout time have used incense to activate certain energetic or psychic centers and facilitate certain paths of meditation. Allied to myrrh or sage, the burning of incense was a kind of offering made to the forces of the world.
When we also know that incense can dissipate certain forms of negative energy, we understand how precious this ally is for those seeking to work on energies.
To learn more about all this, we invite you to consult our section dedicated to witchcraft.
In short, traditions around the world recognize these oh-so-special effects.
Certain American Indian tribes already used incense thousands of years ago during their religious ceremonies and healing rituals.
Both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda (medicine practiced in India) recognize the powerful effects of certain types of incense and readily place them in their pharmacopoeia.
Concretely, burning a little lucky incense at home will protect your home, ward off certain bad entities, open your energy centers (chakras or others, call them what you want) and harmonize energy flows.
All this of course will be done to a certain extent, each type of incense acting on different areas. Let us remain aware that there is no such thing as a “miracle product”.
