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 an easy-to-burn stick. 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 it 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 coated tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
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 in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of curtains and drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.

• Buddhist Temple Blend Incense Cones: the same temple blend in cone form.
• Buddha Incense Sticks by Sree Vani: hand-rolled Buddha incense for meditation.
• Frankincense Incense Sticks: frankincense for prayer and focus.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: loose sage smoke to clear a space first.
