Incense is not something new, it was already used by the ancient Chinese. No one knows exactly how old this form of ritual is, but it is likely to date back 6000 to 8500 years. During the course of history, incense is used for many different reasons. In this post, I would like to illustrate the way incense can be used to control your mood.
There is a strong relation between scent and our mood and emotions. There are different types of incense that give different types of scents. Every single scent provides a specific feeling. Roses, violets or lathyrus brings you in a happy mood. Sandalwood stands for inner peace and will help you meditate. The opposite of that is musk. When burned, this releases an active scent, ideal for waking up in the morning or when studying. Besides that there are adventurous or inspiring scents like passiflora and so on. But these are just simple guidelines. The influence of each type of incense can vary from person to person. So it is best to discover them for yourself. This way you find which scents match your personality, giving you the ability to fully take advantage of this power of nature.
