Resin incense has been used for centuries in spiritual and religious practices (from the Egyptians, Middle Eastern & Christian cultures to the Native Americans), as well as for its aromatic and therapeutic properties. When burned, these precious resins emit a purifying smoke and beautiful fragrance known to clear negative energies, connect us with our higher consciousness and spiritual realms, and surround us with high vibrations.
ENERGETIC BENEFITS
There are many different types of resin incense available, each with its own unique properties and benefits.
Frankincense - protection, purification, energetic cleansing & to soothe anxiety. It’s said to enhance intuition and clairvoyance, and is ideal to use before meditation.
Myrrh - Provides clearing, spiritual connection, healing – keeping you grounded with a connection to the Earth. Helps to increase your overall state of awareness & clears the way to easily see your truth.
Dammar(sometimes marketed as Indian Copal) – uplifts the spirit, bringing light & joy to the darkness or depths of the soul & increases your connection to higher energies.
These are just some of the energetic aspects of these resins & you can truly see how they can be used to purify your space, heart & mind alongside any of your other meditation practices.
Comes in a PET jar of 30g and/or 60g.
Optional add-on – 1 pack (10 pieces) of golden charcoal discs for a cleaner, more consistent burn with less of the smoky/burning smell. Each charcoal disc is for a single use & burns up to 30-40 mins.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BURNING RESINS VS INCENSE STICKS/CONES?
Resins have a typically more concentrated aroma compared to sticks/cones and is a more natural option as sticks/cones use a base material as a binding agent (which may sometimes include chemicals or other additives). On the downside, the smoke and fragrance or resins dissipate more quickly than with sticks/cones. This can be a good thing for those who are sensitive to strong smells or for those who want a more short-lived burst of fragrance. You can also decide how much resins to burn based on your aromatic preference & they can also be mixed together with other resins or herbs for a customized result.
SOME THINGS TO TAKE NOTE
- All of the resins are solely for burning purposes ONLY and are not certified for consumption, boiling or related internal use.
- As these resins are naturally harvested from nature, please note that there might be slight variations in color, shape, size & aroma from batch to batch.
- DAMMAR - it is recommend to burn smaller pieces as it sizzles & liquifies very quickly compared to the other resins, you might not get the full ‘burn’ effect of a bigger chunk.
- Be careful of inhaling smoke that may be irritating to the eyes, throat & lungs. Always burn in a well ventilated area, using a heatproof dish and other suitable equipment & never leave it burning unattended.
- Allow the charcoal disc to completely cool before discarding. When in doubt, douse it with water to put it out completely.
