The Seven Chakra Symbolism

At the heart of this design lies the traditional seven chakra system — a symbolic map of the subtle energy body.

Each colour represents a different aspect of human experience:

• Root (Red): Grounding, security, physical stability
• Sacral (Orange): Creativity, sensuality, emotional flow
• Solar Plexus (Yellow): Personal power, confidence, vitality
• Heart (Green): Compassion, love, equilibrium
• Throat (Blue): Communication, expression of truth
• Third Eye (Indigo): Intuition, insight, perception
• Crown (Violet): Spiritual awareness, transcendence

Above them all, the meditating Buddha embodies awakened stillness — reminding us that true balance is found within.

How to Use

Using your incense holder is simple and mindful:

1. Place the holder on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the incense stick securely into the hole.
3. Light the tip and allow it to flame briefly.

Always burn incense responsibly and never leave it unattended.

Care & Attention

FAQs

We understand that when choosing a ritual or altar piece, small practical details matter. Below are answers to common questions.

Does this holder catch falling ash?
Yes, the base is designed to catch most falling ash from standard incense sticks. However, airflow within a room can occasionally cause ash to drift beyond the base. For additional protection — particularly on wooden furniture or altar cloths — we recommend placing the holder on a larger heat-resistant surface such as a slate tile, ceramic dish, or metal tray.

Should I place it on a protective surface?
Yes. Although the holder is stable and catches ash, incense embers and cones produce heat. Using a protective surface underneath provides added safety and preserves furniture.

Can it hold thicker incense sticks?
The hole fits approximately 1–1.5mm standard joss sticks. If you use thicker incense, the opening may be gently widened. This should be done carefully to avoid damaging the resin.

Is it suitable for cone incense?
Yes. Cones may be placed at the base of the holder. As cones produce more concentrated heat, always ensure the piece is placed on a heat-resistant surface.

Does the resin become hot?
The resin body does not usually become excessively hot during normal use. However, embers and cones generate heat. Always allow the holder to cool fully before moving it.

Can it be used purely as décor?
Absolutely. Many customers choose this piece for its symbolic chakra alignment and calming Buddha presence, even when not actively burning incense.

Will the colours vary between pieces?
Slight variations may occur due to the finishing process. These differences enhance the individuality of each piece.
