A meditation corner, a long breath, and the fine, gentle resinous scent of copal slowly, gracefully filling the room. The Banjara Incense Resin Balls in the Copal version offer small balls in one pack, each lasting a long time — during a celebration, a moment of depth, or attuning to a slow evening, the warm, cinnamon-resinous note of copal stays in the background.
The scent and its effect
Copal is a foundational material in the cleansing and spiritual-protection traditions of Central and South America. The scent is at once spiced-woody and softly resinous — warm, ripe, with a rounded character, never cloyingly sweet. It is an ideal choice for home meditation, yoga practice, or a slower evening of quietude. The aroma does not dominate — it is only gently present, a mature scent note that makes the room a degree warmer.
The Banjara tradition
The Banjara people are one of India's nomadic tribes, who preserve centuries-old traditions of incense and aromatherapy. Banjara incense recipes are built on natural ingredients — herbs, resins, woods — and the ball form is characteristic of their traditional processing method. The compact pack is suitable for travel as well as for a home meditation ritual.
How to use it
Place the ball on a fire-safe incense holder or charcoal. Light it with a match or lighter, wait a few seconds, then blow out the flame — the ball will continue to burn by smouldering and releases the copal aroma. Ensure ventilation in the room. One ball can burn for 15-30 minutes, depending on room size and the desired intensity. Never leave it unattended, and keep away from flammable materials.
