How can incense brighten up your day?

Have you ever sensed the "heavy mood" in a room?

When you go to a restaurant or a bar with friends and family, you feel great because the atmosphere is excellent. The atmosphere has a positive effect on your mood.

If there is an argument in a room, it also affects your feelings. Next time, when you enter a meeting space during or after an argument, pay attention to your feeling. You may sense the "thick" air filled with grief, anger, and sadness lingering in the space.

Arguments can happen anywhere. It could be in a meeting room, retail store, bar, or even in our own home. The atmosphere is heavy, and some people call it "negative energy". This "negative energy" seems to linger and stay in the room, affecting the next people coming in.

Burning incense is one of the methods to neutralise this negative energy.

Burning incense to cleanse the atmosphere

Burning incense has a strong influence on the environment. When you burn incense, the fragrant smoke will help to clear the atmosphere of any negative energy. The smoke from the incense will help to raise the vibration in the room, making it a more positive space for everyone.

Burning incense in religious sites

People have burned incense to purify, neutralise, or positively alter the "air", where many people have gathered since ancient times. In many holy religious sites such as Buddhist and Hindu temples, Churches and Mosques, the Abbots, the Pandits, the Priests, and Imam often burn incense during lectures, discussions, praying and services.

Burning incense in places where grief and arguments took place

If you sense the negative energy in a room, it is advisable to burn some incense to cleanse the atmosphere; for example, where there has been a death, an argument, or a fight. The act of burning incense will help to dissipate the negative energy and make the place feel lighter.

I have witnessed a heated conversation between the store owner and a customer. It was an early morning at a local store in District 11 Ho Chi Minh City; a customer came and asked for a discount on a fabric roll. The owner agreed, and the customer was about to pay. Unfortunately, the customer forgot the wallet at home and told the store owner he would come back later. The store owner spoke quietly but loud enough for the customer to hear it "

How can someone go shopping without a wallet? What a time-waster !"

The customer heard that, and they exchanged words. Fortunately, they did not exchange fists at that time. Some people believe if the first customer brings trouble to the store, the rest of the day will be doomed.

Once the customer left, the store owner burnt three incense sticks and prayed: "God Of Wealth, please bring me some luck, please bless my store and my business today!". Then he respectfully poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the altar.

People also burn incense in the morgue or funeral home before taking the body to cremation or burial to purify the space and guide the deceased's soul to the afterlife.

How to cleanse your room with incense

Keep windows shut to purify the air in a room or space.

Walkthrough the area or from room to room, fanning the rising smoke all around: Then leave the room and shut the door. If this is done at night, leave the incense burner in place and let it sit for three hours. Let the fragrance sink in and fill the air.

After three hours, you can open the window and let the fresh air in.

Ensure that the area is ventilated after that.
