A backflow incense waterfall or backflow incense burner is a unique and eye-catching way to burn incense. It uses special backflow incense cones that allow the smoke to flow downward in a gentle cascade, creating the illusion of a waterfall. This type of incense is not only visually appealing, but also has a positive effect on one’s mental health and inner peace. In addition, backflow incense is known to increase concentration and relaxation.
In order to use a backflow incense waterfall, you need to have a good incense burner and a special incense cone. These incense cones are partially drilled from the bottom to under the tip, which allows them to glide downward instead of upward when lit. The incense burner should be made of ceramic or resin, and must have a hole in the top to accommodate the incense cone.
Once you have the correct incense burner and cone, you can start using it. Light the tip of the incense cone and let it get glowing hot for a few seconds. Then, blow out the flame and let the cone cool down. Once the incense cone has cooled, place it on top of your waterfall incense burner directly above the hole. After a few minutes, the waterfall incense effect should begin.
The rhythmic downward flow of the incense smoke is hypnotic, mirroring the steady flow of breath that is essential to meditation and other spiritual practices. In addition, the calming scents of the incense can help you relax and focus on your meditation practice.
In addition to enjoying the mesmerizing waterfall effect, you can also cleanse crystals and gemstones with the smoke. To do so, simply place the crystals or gemstones on a heat-resistant surface, and then hold them over the waterfall smoke for a few minutes. Afterward, the stones should be rinsed and dried thoroughly.
You can also use a backflow incense waterfall to create a calming ambiance in your home or workplace. You can use it in a meditation space, as a centerpiece, or even as an air freshener with your favorite fragrances. Just be sure to follow proper safety precautions when handling the cones and burner, as they can get quite hot while burning.
For best results, a backflow incense waterfall should be used in an environment that is free from drafts. A windy or cold room can ruin the enchanting waterfall effect, and will just produce white water rapids instead of a graceful waterfall. Additionally, you should make sure to place the incense waterfall on a fire-resistant surface, and it’s also wise to have an extra saucer in case the incense spills. Lastly, you should replace the incense cone when it begins to dwindle.
