The role of incense in ritual
Aroma has been present in ceremonies across many cultures. Rituals with incense remain widespread today among people who want to create a particular atmosphere before meditation, a yoga session or a moment of introspection.
The simple act of lighting a stick can mark the start of an activity, which is what makes the experience feel deliberate rather than part of the everyday routine.
