Simple silence in everyday life
The Milarepa Tibetan incense, with its restrained, cleanly herbal aroma, can be kind to you if you truly enjoy the simple, quiet moments. In Tibetan tradition, Milarepa is the figure of the saintly yogi living in simplicity, and this incense was originally composed in his spirit. If you wish to surround yourself with a kind aroma on a slow Sunday morning or during a long read, this stick fits your day well.
What is it made of?
The stick is made of Tibetan herbs and a small amount of natural resin, rolled around a wooden core. The aroma is light, earthy, almost like a calm meadow – not sweet, not floral, not heavy. There is no synthetic fragrance, and this fits especially well with the Milarepa stick being for you the aroma of simplicity and an honest, clear life lived gently.
When do you light it gladly?
Many people light a Milarepa stick on a Sunday morning, when they begin the day with a slow coffee and a book. Others choose it for a longer meditation session, because the aroma is delicate and does not disturb the focus. It can be a kind companion to soft classical music, quiet handwork, garden rest or a slow evening of journaling, when you think back on the events of the week with calm.
How to light it properly
Take a stick, light the tip and blow out the flame so only the ember remains. Place it in a stable holder that catches the ash. One stick burns for about forty to fifty minutes, enough for a long read or meditation session. Always air the room while it burns, and never leave the ember unattended at any time while it is glowing.
Useful information before buying
The pack contains fifteen to twenty sticks, so with regular use it lasts for many weeks. Because this is a hand-made natural product, the aroma may vary slightly from stick to stick – this is the mark of the traditional technique, not a fault. Store the pack in a dry, cool place so the aroma stays fresh for a long time inside.
