Once the Magi visited Christ upon his birth, they brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold. We all know and value gold, but why did these so-called wise men give frankincense and myrrh? The reason is the same today as it was then: the pleasurable effects of incense. The frankincense and myrrh the Magi gave on the first Christmas were simply crude types of incense, recognized for their powers of relaxation. This can be a truth that has extended further back than recorded history, as gleaned by the artifacts that we have collected. Even ancient man knew that the refreshing properties of good incense, burned in an appropriate setting, produces an impact worthy of meditation, and also you don't need to be considered a wise man to understand it. Let's examine several reasons why herbal incense leads to ultimate relaxation:
Pleasing Aroma: using herbal incense can be a total sensory experience, the one that begins in the olfactory glands. A waft of the wise gift could be enough to bring back strong memories of your past, or perhaps an ancient past to which we are linked. Herb incenses are available in a number of scents, and every scent has its own uplifting properties. With all the different choices available to consumers, the choice today is sort of a bag of jelly beans for your nose.
Visual Delight: nothing sets an exotic ambience like a little dancing smoke within an appropriate environment. This effect is ideal to entice your lover or to visually stimulate your guests. Not even a candle can hold a candle to the classic touch that can make your apartment look like a Shaman's tent.
Auditory Effects: the subtle hissing from the incense because it burns can aurally titillate a listener. It's as though the incense is whispering: "I know a relaxing secret. Allow yourself to relax. You're here now." Just like the birds chirping or the river running, the sound of incense exhausting itself for your bemusement is a that you might interact with peace.
The Feel of It: as silly as it might sound, when one becomes used to preparing incense, a powerful connection could be formed just in the manner that it feels. Each blend may have a different texture, but you may grow to understand them all, until each seems like a familiar handshake from a good friend. The feel supplied by each particular combination leads to a nearly full sensory experience.
Caution:Using herbal incense could be intensely relaxing, and it is perfect for setting the mood, but it is not a full sensory experience. Keep in mind that it's not for human consumption. You should not directly inhale the vapors made by any burning incense, nor in the event you taste the incense. You should only burn inside a well-ventilated area rather than leave burning incense unattended.
