Incense has been used since ancient times as a sacred bridge between the earthly and the divine, with its fragrant smoke believed to carry prayers to higher realms. Across cultures like Egypt, Greece, China, and Japan, it played a central role in rituals, purifying spaces, enhancing focus, and symbolizing the soul’s journey. Today, incense continues to support meditation and spiritual practice by cleansing energy, sharpening concentration, and deepening the sense of connection to the sacred.
