Using incense stand & ceramic plate

Light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame.
Put the burning incense in an incense stand and place on top of a ceramic plate to catch the ashes. Another method of burning incense is to place the stick in a container of help hold the stick up straight.
Place the incense in the center or corner of a room and avoid having it directly next to you.
The best way to experience incense is to enjoy the wafting fragrant smoke from afar. As you see the smoke rise you will begin to enjoy the pleasant fragrance that spreads throughout your space. You will also enjoy the lingering fragrance of the incense long after it has stopped burning.
