Burning Incense
Aromas, fragrances, scents, smells (or however to you refer to them) can be used to elicit many different responses.
For example: to relax and unwind, for meditation, to reduce stress and anxiety, for spirituality, generosity, and mindfulness, stimulate creativity, increase focus. air purification, create a magical experience. medicinal purposes (aroma therapy), yoga practices, aid sleep, etc.
I burn incense for all of these reasons and more, however, my favorite reason to burn incense is for spiritual reasons. I'll burn incense and sage to cleanse my spaces of negative energies, to send my intentions, goals, desires, and aspirations into the ether.
The burning of incense and smoke in this sense has long been a gateway to spirituality. Recently, with my wife, we burned some "money" incense about 3 days ago. Just yesterday, I received a random Cash App, and whenever we burn this incense and set our intentions, invoke the Law Of Attraction, things happen. Over the last few years, my wife and I have noticed our powers to manifest things into our lives has noticeably increased.
As a person who is an African in America, who has knowledge of self, our history, appreciates and venerates his ancestors, and recognizes his place and purpose, I implore the Africans in the diaspora to renounce these Abrahamic religions(Christianity, Islam, and Judaism). Take up the spiritual practices of our ancestors pre-colonialism!
