A tightly twisted herbal cord that smoulders slowly and evenly: this Himalayan Tibetan rope incense is made in the spirit of the 7th chakra, the crown chakra. It is twisted from pure, natural ingredients with no bamboo core, so its smoke is soft and herbal.
The crown chakra in tradition
Yoga and chakra teaching describe seven main energy centres along the body. The crown chakra is the energy centre of spiritual connection, openness and wholeness at the crown of the head; it is linked to higher connection and stillness. Tradition links it to violet and white and to spaciousness. This is tradition, not a medical statement – the incense is for setting a mood and tuning in.
The Himalayan rope incense
The rope incense is twisted from Himalayan herbs and resins to a traditional recipe; many pieces are blessed in monasteries and temples. Because it has no bamboo core, you smell only the herbal blend, with no charcoal or stick note.
Use and safety
Light the end of the cord, let it flare, then blow out the flame so it glows. Place it in a heat-proof, metal or metal-lined incense holder, or lean it in a bowl of sand. Never leave it unattended, and keep the room ventilated. Let a fireproof surface catch the ash.
Good to know
Because of the natural ingredients, the scent and the thickness of the cord vary a little from piece to piece. Keep it dry and cool so the aroma stays fresh.
