What is your favorite incense ?

[Patryc]

Hi everyone - I love my incense, just wondering what the favorites were out there ?

me personally I like the opium, frankincense, chandan and myrrh. There are more that I like but they are my favorites. I usually have 5 or 6 different ones which I burn depending on my mood.

Dragon's Blood (mix this one with cinnamon - quite potent)
Sandalwood
Nag Champa
Myrrh
White Sage
Cedar

[Patryc]

mmm yes White sage is divine, hard to get cheaply here, also love the Nag Champa and the Sandlewood. I used to have Bergamot in the bath hehe. And the Orange actually - they are very nice oils.

My favorite incense is this stuff called Song of India Temple Incense...absolutely lovely. Not entirely sure what herbs are used in the blend, but it appears to be sandlewood based. Probably Nag Champa in there too.

Bergamot Rose - that's a combo inscence that my daughter bought me for Christmas last year - absolutely divine

[ocean_soul]

Eheheh, I had a bar of Kiwi Bergamont soap, I can imagine how awesome Bergamont Rose would be! ^_____^

[sshenry]

I've got the oil too - a few drops of that on a lightbulb and... *sighs contentedly*

Favs...
Om for when I just need to clear my mind (releasing etc)
Lavendar for relaxation/before I go to sleep
Dragon's blood for protection and cleansing
Sandalwood because it smells so good
every week or so i do a Frankincense/Myrrh just makes me feel good

My mom was so funny, we had a problem with a stubborn spirit in my house. I smudged and salted in all the rooms, mom came back from Church (lol) and freaked out. It smells so gross in here... blah blah blah
My dad was saying I was doing voodoo and laughing. My grandpa stood up for me and said Native Americans used to use sage in ceremonies it's exceptionally old and very spiritual. *woot go grandpa*

[sshenry]

LOL Good on Grandpa!

Watch out for that Lavender Raz

I got some Nile Temple Gold Incense that I want to try. I have it in the rock form (quite a few are) and I have oils. I just like pretty smelling stuff... Orange is my favourite oil.

You know of course that lavender is great for relaxation - well, it turns out that too much lavender can also impede stimulation for the male. They get TOO relaxed.

On a brighter note, this might work even better that "not tonight dear, I have a headache"

[raztaz12]

lol ahahahah okay *throws lavendar in wastebin*
I'll get a different kind *looks around innocently*

*hangs up some white sage and sits back in a knowedgeable-looking lotus pose*

Mmmm... Maybe we should smudge the site? LOL

I need to find my book on making incense again.

As for "store bought," Nag Champa and Chandan are easy enough to come by. Dragon's Blood can be nice. Sandalwood is good for meditation and energy work -- nice and uplifting.

I've got some charcoal resin sticks that are nice, although some days they tend to smoke more than other incense. At home I've got this tub full of different kinds of incense from all the Tibetan fairs and such out here.

Nobody has mentioned my favourite, though. I like Jasmine.

[indigoglow4u]

I have a few that I vary through depending on mood...

I was wanting to ask... any suggestions on clearing insences?.. I have a whole world to cleanse and clear of a lot of stale, old , heavy energy...

Any 'Fung Shei'-ers out there... I'm working with placement, windchimes, crystals and rocks.. need to redesign and change the layout and flow of this space. Any good insights on 'moving on" in an old space...

I so value the space around us and where we plant ourselves.....

Thanks,
time to clean and clear....

Sage and cedar at the two clearing incenses that come to mind right away...Frankincence & Myrhh are supposed to be good for that too. I have a nice smudge blend that I like to use. Near as I can tell it's a blend of various herbs, most likely white sage, lavender and maybe some mints in there too. I don't care for burning it but I do add a pinch or two to my oil diffuser and let the scent spread that way. ^__^

thanks, I'll add those to my list.

I like t he diffusers as well sometimes that smoke it just too much ecspecially in winter when the windows are closed... good ideas...

[raztaz12]

Hm hadn't thought about that, good idea with the diffuser. I usually only use my sage in ceremonial type use, I just find it is to sacred for me to burn every day. Many people do and that's fine, just personal preference.
But I will try the cedar looking forward to it.
