Great idea. Have some incense here that I will get out and start using. I like the idea of setting / creating atmosphere. Thank you.

I use Indian incense sticks, they are great. many aromas and last about 20 or so min. A word of warning there are many mass produced sticks made and a lot have chemicals to keep them burning ( not good , in fact very bad ) If you can find Indian sticks a lit are still made by hand and use recipies past down from many years ago. I used to sell this type of incense and one off the most popular scence was Vrindavan Flower a hand rolled stick, they are usually sold by weight in !/4 Killos and just wraped in paper.Vrindan is a small town about 100 miles from Delhi,it is a very spiritual place with many temples and a lot of incense are still made ther by hand. If you ever think off visiting India especially places off the tourist route beware As it nothing like theWEST, some people just cant cope with it. !! These incense are totally pure and I recomend them .

Asalaamualaikum Shifu.
My name is AbuMahdi Mitchell. Im a white sash in Warriors for Peace Karate Kungfu in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am wondering what is the most frequent incense fragrance burned by Qi going practitioners. Thank you.

The incense sounds nice and I agree with the idea. I try to set timers on my cellphone but it doesn’t have that nice aroma after. Seriously, this is good stuff. One of my other teachers talks about how this helps get your Tai Chi really strong or any other art you practice. Can be done with Tai Chi Stance too right? Thanks for another will power article Sifu.

In reply to Holly. Hi Holly. I've not had any breathing problems with incense, but I find that sticks from Tibet and China tend to be too strong for me and often give me a headache. The Japanese ones seem to be much less pungent and, so far, they work okay for me. However, I'm reaching the bottom of the box I bought in Seattle and so I need to see if I can get them in the UK.

I like the idea of this ritual but Im not sure about incense. I’ve had incense trigger asthma attacks and I don’t typically suffer from asthma. I once had to walk out of a yoga class when incense was used as my breathing was so impaired! Perhaps it would depend on the quality or fragrance of the incense. Has any one else ever experienced this problem?

Two of my favorite things merge! I’ve been using Morning Star patchouli incense for years! I order it in bulk from Nippon Koda. I’m delighted to add this ritual to my Qigong practice. Thanks for another great blog post, Sifu!
