Incense has accompanied Buddhist practice for millennia, burned in temples and meditation halls as an offering and an aid to focus, its smoke a reminder of impermanence and a carrier of intention. The warm, resinous, woody scents of temple incense are reached for to clear mental clutter, ground and settle the mind, and set a calm, focused tone for meditation and reflection. Buddhist Temple Blend, from the Escential Essences line, brings that contemplative temple character to a long-burning cone. The incense does not act on its own; it scents and settles the air and helps you settle into your own practice and focus. Light a cone to ground and quiet the mind, to open a sitting, or to bring a peaceful, sacred tone to a room.

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the pointed tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and begins to smoke.
2. Set it in a burner. Place the cone on a heat-safe cone burner, dish, or a bed of sand or ash that will take the heat as it burns down.
3. Settle into practice. As the warm scent fills the room, let it mark the start of your sitting or reflection and bring your attention to the breath.
4. Burn it safely. Burn on a heat-safe surface in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
