\"Incense<\/a>\u00a0Incense<\/a> is produced with a variety of plant based ingredients including barks, leaves, resins, roots and essential oils.\u00a0 Throughout history, plants and their essential oils have been used to facilitate healing on all levels \u2013 mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.\u00a0 Incense is also used in many traditions to purify the energy of a space, removing negative energies that can further fuel illness.<\/p>\n

Purifying smoke has been used since ancient times to send messages to the Gods and to welcome the presence of the Divine.\u00a0 There are several Bible references regarding the use of incense and anointing with oil for healing purposes.\u00a0 These practices have continued into our modern era for good reason.<\/p>\n

The fragrant smoke of incense can enhance meditations, promoting the state of mind required to guide healing energies intuitively to where they are needed in the body.\u00a0 Incense can also be used together with other items to enhance the healing effect.<\/p>\n

Healing Practices with Incense<\/b><\/p>\n

There are several ways to incorporate incense into a healing ritual. The techniques are simple enough that anyone can do them.<\/p>\n

Purifying Baths<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the simplest ways to detox and purify the body is to soak in a purifying bath.\u00a0 This is another ritual with a rich history in a variety of cultures.\u00a0 Ritualistic baths not only cleanse the body and help draw out toxins, they also soothe the mind and soul.<\/p>\n

Use Himalayan salt or Epsom salts in the water to draw out impurities and toxins through the skin and to cleanse the aura. You can also add your favorite herbal bath tea.\u00a0\u00a0 As you soak for 20 minutes, burn your favorite healing incense nearby, allowing the smoke to cleanse the area and to help induce a deeply relaxed state that can relieve stress and facilitate healing.<\/p>\n

Healing Meditations & Energy Work<\/b><\/p>\n

Meditating on the Chakras<\/a> and learning to cleanse and balance them is a great way to bring healing on multiple levels.\u00a0 Each of the 7 major chakras are linked to various locations throughout the body.\u00a0 When you cleanse and balance the chakras, it also promotes physical healing.<\/p>\n

There are specialty incense bundles available that can assist in working with chakras.\u00a0 Each chakra point has its own corresponding type of incense.\u00a0 Burn a stick during chakra cleansing meditations or Reiki sessions to facilitate the flow of healing energy throughout the energy body.\u00a0 Enhance the effect by adding chakra stones or other tools to your practice.<\/p>\n

Stress Relief<\/b><\/p>\n

Stress is often at the heart of many conditions and ailments like headaches, stiffness, aches and general feelings of malaise.\u00a0 The right type of incense can instantly relieve stress and relax the body.\u00a0 On a cold day, toss a bit of wood incense into the fire to release soothing fragrance throughout the area.\u00a0 Place a cone or stick on a pretty holder and burn it whenever and wherever you need to feel relaxed.\u00a0 Close your eyes and let the fragrance help you relax and unwind.<\/p>\n

Releasing stress is the key to health and longevity.\u00a0 Studies have proven that there is a direct link between high,\u00a0 chronic stress levels and life-threatening conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease.\u00a0 Unfortunately, our hectic modern lifestyles lend themselves to this dangerous chronic stress, but the effects can be undone by taking time regularly to relax and regroup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
