Meditation Incense
Spiritual Self-Care

Incense is excellent for creating ambience and purifying a space to assist in relaxation, clarity, and mindfulness. The blends listed here are for loose incense that needs to be burned on charcoal tablets, which can be purchased at ethnic grocery shops, New Age stores, or ecclesiastical supply shops. Simply combine in a small closed glass container and shake to blend. If an ingredient is chunky (for example, dried juniper berries or dried rosemary needles), crush them in a mortar and pestle first. Don’t forget to label the container.
