Begin incense, resin and scent rituals safely and consciously, and observe what smoke and scent do in your space and in you.

For thousands of years people have made scent, smoke, resin, and plants part of their rites. On this path we get to know incense, resin and scent rituals — from their history to their safe use — through a conscious beginning.

At the end of this path

Begin incense, resin and scent rituals safely and consciously, and observe what smoke and scent do in your space and in you.

Where you start: You burn incense or resin, try changing your space with scent, or are curious about it — and want to know what you use, why, and how to use it safely.
Where you arrive: After the first threshold you have observed your space and hold a safe starting routine; continue from here while the full path is prepared.

Stage 1
First Threshold
Observing Your Space
Purification begins with attention, not with smoke or scent. Incense, resin or a smokeless scent — whichever you choose, at this threshold you learn safety first, then observing your own space.

  Safety first
  Your choice shows you a safety note.
  What should come first when you burn incense or resin?
  Plenty of smoke — the more smoke, the more effective.
  Ventilation, a heat-proof dish, and staying beside it.
  The scent does not matter; burning is enough.

  The heavy corner
  Choose the corner of your home that feels 'heaviest'. Open the window and stand there for a minute. You can do this without smoke or scent; observing the space comes first on this path.
  What did you notice — light, air, clutter, sound? How much of what makes that corner 'heavy' is observation, and how much is feeling?
