2. Light the Incense
    •    Hold the tip of the incense stick or cone to a flame
    •    Let it catch fire for a few seconds
    •    Gently blow out the flame so it smolders and releases smoke
Place it in a fire-safe incense holder.

3. Let the Smoke Flow
    •    Allow the smoke to fill the space naturally
    •    You can move the incense around a room to cleanse energy
    •    Or keep it nearby during meditation, journaling, or rituals
Always make sure the area is well ventilated.

4. Close the Ritual
When finished, you can:
    •    Let the incense burn out naturally
    •    Or gently extinguish it in sand or a fireproof dish
    •    Take a deep breath and mentally “seal” your intention
