Incense has a profound
influence on all of us. You already would know that we as human beings have 5
senses. However out of them all our sense of smell is one the most powerful. It
is also the one which is most spontaneous.
It is the one which is connected to
that part of the brain which processes memory. Unlike the other senses the
sense of smell is directly wired to the brain. This means that there is a very
close link between smells and brain
response.

Incense can also help to
gain access to certain parts of your mind quickly and with great precision.
Thus choosing the type of incense is very important. By choosing the type of
incense you have, determines not only the type of environment you have in your
room, but also on your mind. So it many ways directly impacts the way you feel.
In one of our previous blogs titled "Meditation and its benefits" covered
in detail the benefits of meditation and the reason why burning certain incense
sticks helps in the entire process. So choosing the right incense is very
important and you must know how to choose the right incense sticks for what you
want. One way to do so is knowing, how
to know that you have incense which is not so good. So the following are the
key points how you would know it easily.
Simple Ways to know you have not so good incense:
1. If you can smell chemicals or paint thinner
By using your common
sense you can know a great deal of things in simple ways. One way of knowing or
judging that the quality of any incense is not so good is if you notice the
presence of smell of any chemicals or paint thinner then you know immediately
that the quality of the incense is not that good.
2. If you have a headache after continuously smelling the incense
There are certain
physical indications from which you can know instantly that the quality of the
incense is not up to the mark. One common way of knowing it is if you have a
headache after continuously smelling the incense, then you know for certain the
incense is not of a good quality.
3.If you feel nausea following smelling the incense
Certain persons are more
sensitive to what they smell. Another indication of knowing that the quality of
incense is not so good is if you feel nausea after smelling the incense. If you
are more sensitive to smell then you would get more affected by poor quality
incense.
4. If the aroma from the incense is very strong and harsh on your senses
If you find that the
aroma emitted from any incense is very strong and harsh on your sense then it
may not be the right type to suit you. One of the primary objectives of using
incense is to calm down your mind and soul.
So in case the incense being used
is too strong or harsh on your sense it may actually make you feel more
disturbed. Thus the entire purpose of using the incense gets defeated and thus
should be avoided.
In conclusion we can say
that by using the above simple steps you can immediately know that the kind of
incense you have is not such a good one.
