This sandstone incense burner, printed with the seven chakra symbols, comes from an Indian workshop. The 10 by 10 cm square plate fits easily on a window sill, a desk or a meditation altar, and discreetly collects the ash of the incense stick.
The meaning of the seven chakras
According to tradition the chakras are subtle energy points placed along the spine. The seven main chakras each have their own colour and symbol – from the red root chakra to the violet crown chakra. The printed motif can help you walk through every energy centre more easily during meditation.
Material and craftsmanship
Sandstone is a natural mineral, fine-grained and warm to the touch. A digital print applies the chakra design to the surface, so the details stay sharp and the colours stay vivid. The material tolerates the heat of the incense and long-term use.
How you can use it at home
The square holder suits incense sticks. Place the end of the stick in the central hole, light it, blow out the flame and watch the rising smoke. The plate catches the falling ash, keeping your furniture clean.
Fitting your meditation space
The natural sandstone tone and the bright chakra colours look beautiful in a setting of wood, stone or textile. You can also place it on a felt coaster if the surface beneath is particularly sensitive.
Safety and cleaning
Never leave a lit incense stick unattended and place the burner on a heat-resistant surface. Wipe the ash away with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Do not wash the sandstone under running water, as it dries slowly.
