How to Burn Incense (The Lo-Fi Rituals Way)

New to incense or just need a refresher? Here’s a simple guide to burning Lo-Fi Rituals incense.

What You’ll Need

  • Your favourite Lo-Fi Rituals incense sticks
  • An incense holder
  • A lighter or match
  • A moment to pause

Step-by-Step: Burning Your Incense

  1. Place it in the holder: Pop your incense stick into your incense holder, making sure it’s steady.
  2. Light the tip: Light the end of the stick and let it burn for around 5 seconds.
  3. Blow it out: Gently blow out the flame - the stick should smoulder and release those smokin’ fine scents.
  4. Enjoy the moment: Let the aroma fill your space while you relax, work, or daydream.
  5. When you’re done: Each stick will naturally burn itself out in around 60 minutes.
    If you’d like to finish up sooner, just:
    • Dip the tip in water
    • Gently tap the smouldering end against your heat-resistant holder to extinguish

Safety Notes (Important but Easy)

  • Always use a heat-resistant surface
  • Keep away from curtains, papers, and other flammable items
  • Never leave incense burning unattended
  • Burn in a well-ventilated, breeze-free space
  • Keep out of reach of kids and pets
