These two types of incense govern how and why it is created. Furthermore, depending on its intensity and the materials utilized, various incense will emit distinct odors and effects in their surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct-Burning-Incense\"><\/span><strong>Direct Burning Incense<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When using this type of incense, you need to light up the incense and let it die by itself, or you can put out the flame by blowing or fanning it. Then, the incense will release smoke that will spread into your surroundings. The smoke has the aroma of the materials infused in the incense. You can commonly find four forms of direct burning incense: stick incense, coil incense, cone incense, and powder incense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Stick-Incense\"><\/span><strong>1. Stick Incense<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick incense is the most popular among all direct burning incense, and it would help if you had a holder for the stick and a lighter to burn it. The regular bamboo sticks are usually made of bamboo core, sawdust, or charcoal dust and then infused with essential oils for the aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01MSJMWG8?&#038;linkCode=li3&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;linkId=5ff07bf4800c120668f57f64a675482f&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;ASIN=B01MSJMWG8&#038;Format=_SL250_&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;WS=1&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US\" ><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;l=li3&#038;o=1&#038;a=B01MSJMWG8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TESFod\" style=\"border-radius:19px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The stick-shaped incense makes it easier for you to light it up anywhere around your area. It is also suitable for a small room as you can choose to light up how many sticks you want. The formula is \u2013 the more sticks you burn, you will get the more potent aroma and more smoke. However, the burning time will depend on the stick length. Thus, you must be careful when handling incense sticks to avoid breaking them. It is because the sticks are usually thin and fragile. There are a few types of incense sticks aside from bamboo sticks, such as log-shaped sticks, joss sticks, resin incense sticks, and masala sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Log-Shaped Sticks: <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The log-shaped sticks do not contain essential oils or use bamboo as the core. Instead, they consist of dried paste of incense materials in log or cylinder shapes. The making process is straightforward, and there were no heavy processing procedures in making this incense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Joss Sticks:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The joss sticks incense originally came from China, where the name means something that holds a religious spirit. These days, joss sticks are more versatile and have different forms. For example, Indian joss sticks with bamboo cores and Japanese joss sticks without support in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resin Incense Sticks:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A resin incense stick is the more accessible version of resin incense. It contains resin, herbs, spices, essential oils, and other ingredients to give the aroma and shape of the sticks. Resin incense sticks are easier to use than traditional resin incense. This incense stick exists to cater to people who don\u2019t have enough time to prepare resin incense but still want to enjoy the intense aroma of the incense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Masala Sticks:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Masala sticks are most famous for rituals such as the Diwali ceremony. They consist of a blend of various traditional and natural oils that produce a woody and earthy aroma. Many believe this incense gives a calming and relaxing effect to the surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Coil-Incense\"><\/span><strong>2. Coil Incense<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name goes, coil incense has a spiral shape with various lengths. It contains only incense materials in a coil shape, and you need a holder and a dish to collect the coil ash. It is mainly known for its long burning time. However, like the stick incense, the burning span depends on the coil size or diameter. It usually produces more intense smoke, making it more suitable for use in a larger area. In addition, coil incense diffuses a consistent light aroma throughout the burning time. Thus, the temple mostly uses it for a spiritual ceremony or some people use it as home aromatherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gandhanra-Handmade-Assorted-Holder-Sandalwood-Osmanthus\/dp\/B08V8GBS23?crid=63PFXVZEKON&#038;keywords=Coil%2BIncense&#038;qid=1668423452&#038;s=home-garden&#038;sprefix=coil%2Bincense%2Cgarden%2C272&#038;sr=1-8&#038;th=1&#038;linkCode=li3&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;linkId=4b36e97c2bc5bdab8a1d81ad3c456850&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;ASIN=B08V8GBS23&#038;Format=_SL250_&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;WS=1&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US\" ><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;l=li3&#038;o=1&#038;a=B08V8GBS23\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3E92AwE\" style=\"border-radius:19px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Cone-Incense\"><\/span><strong>3.

It\u2019s because it is made from a mixture of incense powder and essential oils and has a smaller size. There are a few crucial steps to take before burning the incense cones. Fill a dish with sand or uncooked rice to hold the cones and maintain consistent airflow without overheating the burner. Then, carefully light the tip of the cone to burn it and immediately blow out the flame until it produces a spiral smoke. As cone incense has a thin smoke, you can use it in a small room for meditation or yoga practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baidekj-Backflow-Incense-Waterfall-Meditation\/dp\/B095B5LMXN?crid=889H4L5T1LDD&#038;keywords=Cone+Incense&#038;qid=1668423659&#038;s=home-garden&#038;sprefix=coil+incense%2Cgarden%2C288&#038;sr=1-19&#038;linkCode=li3&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;linkId=a828dd42a2708cff5ba8cc210f48fab0&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;ASIN=B095B5LMXN&#038;Format=_SL250_&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;WS=1&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US\" ><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;l=li3&#038;o=1&#038;a=B095B5LMXN\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3O5isoL\" style=\"border-radius:19px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Incense-Powder\"><\/span><strong>4.

Then, you need to burn the material to heat the incense and release the aroma through the smoke. There are a few forms of indirect burning incense, such as kneaded incense, in-koh (pressed incense tablets), resin incense, and powder incense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Kneaded-Incense\"><\/span><strong>1. Kneaded Incense<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kneaded incense consists of blended and kneaded incense materials. You can usually find this incense in small balls. They are put in an earthenware jar, buried underground, and left to mature for three to five years. This incense has a sweet and creamy aroma, and the Japanese usually use it for Japanese tea ceremonies. You need a burner or charcoal to burn this incense. Put the small balls on a burner dish and heat the burner from below, or put the incense directly on hot charcoal in a container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shoyeido-Fragrant-Plum-Kneaded-Incense\/dp\/B00LH49PFY?crid=12Y6A1ZYE2OG0&#038;keywords=Kneaded+Incense&#038;qid=1668424259&#038;s=home-garden&#038;sprefix=kneaded+incense%2Cgarden%2C277&#038;sr=1-3&#038;linkCode=li3&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;linkId=a91f33da0e517ac54311d07b8520998c&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;ASIN=B00LH49PFY&#038;Format=_SL250_&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;WS=1&#038;tag=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US\" ><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=yogaoasis-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;l=li3&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00LH49PFY\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Uyfvzt\" style=\"border-radius:19px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-In-Koh-Pressed-Incense-Tablets\"><\/span><strong>2.

It is almost similar to kneaded incense, where you need to burn it on charcoal or a burner. The beautiful shapes will enhance the aesthetic interior of your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Resin-Incense\"><\/span><strong>3.
