How to Use Sagrada Madre Incense? | Complete Guide

The Basics of Sagrada Madre Incense

While many of our ingredients can be used in their pure form, our incense sticks and blocks offer greater convenience. Sagrada Madre incense sticks burn for an impressive fifty to sixty minutes! During ceremonies or meditations, you can let the stick burn freely as needed.

Moreover, our incense provides enhanced value through the combined effects of various ingredients, while maintaining the original energetic value and spiritual purpose of each component.

Safe Use of Sagrada Madre Incense

Here are some important guidelines for using incense:

• Always keep incense products out of reach of children and pets
• Never leave burning incense unattended indoors
• Use incense only in well-ventilated spaces

A container with bird sand is particularly useful; users typically develop an intuition for when the incense has burned long enough. This might be when the space has become energetically charged, or when a smaller room has filled with sufficient smoke.

The safest and most economical way to extinguish the stick or block is to place the burning end in the sand. This avoids any mess with water or waste from cutting the stick.

The Rich History of Incense

Incense and similar sacred smokes have been used in ceremonies, rituals, offerings, and meditations since time immemorial. Incense is renowned for its connection to the divine and its purifying and calming effects. Throughout the world, wood, herbs, resins, or combinations thereof have been and continue to be used. Depending on the culture, belief, or purpose, burning incense is considered a sacred act. Resins such as myrrh, copal, or olibanum are not called the 'Sweat of the Gods' without reason. Palo Santo literally translates to 'Holy Wood'.

Tradition and Dedication

Sagrada Madre products are crafted in Argentina. While perhaps less known as an incense producer, this country has a living and vibrant culture when it comes to burning incense and smudging. Words like 'Sahumo' and 'Sahumerio' loosely translate to 'smoking' and refer to its centuries-old use. This tradition comes from the indigenous peoples of South America, known for their knowledge of plants and herbs for spiritual and healing purposes. Everything is created with reverence for Pacha Mama, Mother Earth, the root of our existence.

Practical Usage Tips

• Start with a short burning duration to experience the intensity
• Place the incense in a suitable holder on a heat-resistant surface
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the space
• Store partially burned sticks in bird sand for reuse
• Experiment with different placements in the room for optimal dispersion
