Why do people use incense for meditation?
Incense acts as a timer (a stick burns for ~45 mins) and a focal point. Watching the smoke helps anchor the attention, and the scent signals the brain to enter a meditative state.
Which incense is best for prayer?
Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copal are the traditional "prayer" resins used in churches and temples for thousands of years.
What scent opens the "Third Eye"?
Traditionally, Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Lotus are associated with the Third Eye chakra and spiritual insight.
Is Nag Champa spiritual?
Yes, it was created in India specifically for use in ashrams and temples. Its scent is designed to induce a contemplative state.
Can I use candles instead of incense for meditation?
Absolutely. A flickering candle flame is a classic focus point (Trataka meditation). Scented candles can provide the same atmospheric benefits without the smoke.
