The incense burner is considered an essential item for meditation practice. In modern yoga and meditation, many people use incense burners to adorn their meditation space, creating a tranquil, zen-like atmosphere that helps them relax quickly.

During meditation, the incense burner plays an important role in setting the mood and aiding in calming the mind. Many practitioners incorporate an incense burner to enhance the peaceful ambiance. The shape of the incense burner (such as a Buddha incense burner) and the fragrance it emits provide positive cues to the meditator, helping them stay focused and centered.

In Eastern culture, incense burners are also considered an important element in feng shui. They are believed to be a tool for communicating between heaven, earth, and humanity. The smoke rising from the incense symbolizes the transmission of messages or prayers to higher energy levels (such as deities or cosmic energies). In feng shui, using incense can enhance the harmony and stability of a home or workplace. The fragrance from the incense helps purify negative energy and stagnant air, regulating the flow of energy within the space. Eastern culture advocates using incense to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.

The use of incense burners has universal significance, symbolizing purification and connection to the divine in various belief systems. In Buddhism, incense burners are used during religious activities such as ceremonies and daily prayers. The rising smoke is seen as a symbol of transmitting prayers to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In Christianity, particularly in Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and some high liturgical denominations (like the Anglican Church), incense burners are also used. The burning incense represents prayers rising to heaven, echoing the Biblical reference that "prayers are like incense ascending to God." Whether in Eastern Buddhist rituals or Western Christian worship, the incense smoke symbolizes the devout prayers of the faithful, and you can approach its use with a positive mindset.

Incense burners come in various types, categorized by material and shape. Based on materials, they include stone (e.g., sandstone, jade), metal (bronze, gold, silver, enamel), bamboo or wood carvings, and ceramics. Ceramic burners are especially versatile, mimicking the designs and colors of bronze artifacts. By shape, they range from ancient vessel-like designs, such as tripod or cauldron-style burners, to footless styles like flat or ring-based designs. There are also footed burners, which may have two or more legs, and biomorphic designs resembling animals or plants. Additionally, spherical or long-handled types, such as tail-shaped or stick burners, showcase diverse artistic expressions.
