The meaning of smoking
The smoker ritual is still today, as it has been from ancient times, a fascinating experience.
Noble substances such as woods, resins and herbs are converted into smoke when burned, which carries the essence to a subtle level. The purpose of smoking was and is to use the smoke to connect our earthly thinking with the perception of subtle, invisible spheres.
Over the gently curling column of smoke we come to rest and draw new powers for the soul.
About smoking
The burning of herbs and resins in different forms is one of many ancient traditions of our world. The fire acts here - in contrast to evaporation - as a mediator and transformers. When burned, gross substances are converted into smoke, which carries the essence to a subtle level.
This creates the connection with higher and finer levels. The purpose of smoking was and is to connect through the smoke our earthly thinking with the perception of subtle, invisible spheres.
In principle, there are two types of smoking:
1. The smoking on burning coal
Traditionally, smoking materials were smoked on burning coal. You need a refractory vessel and maybe some sand.
Nowadays, the most popular type of coal is the self-igniting coal. It is easy to use as it ignites itself once it has been lit. But here too we should make sure that the coal gets enough air around it during the ignition process. It is better to put the round tablet upright (especially if we are smoking on sand) so that it gets enough air to burn through. As soon as gray spots appear on the edges of the coal, you can tip them over again.
Now the smoking fun can begin. Dose carefully at first, as the smoke volume can be enormous in both resins and herbs.
Another option is the nature pur - charcoal. These are pressed herbs that even produce a pleasant scent. The herbal coal glows slowly and gels piece by piece the resin lying on it. So if the effect of black coal is too intense, it can try with the much gentler herbal coal. It is best to smoke the herbal coal on a mesh vessel, as it gets more air to smolder here than on sand.
2. The smoking on a sieve with tealight
The other type of smoking is smoking over a tealight with a colander. This method is based on aromatherapy. A very fine sieve is placed at a distance of about 5 to 10 cm above a tealight. Aroma lamps are suitable for this purpose, from which one can take off the shell and replace it with a smoking sieve or incense ovens specially made for the sieves. The herbs or resins are added directly to the sieve. Due to the rising heat of the candle flame, they slowly fade away. Caution: If the net gets too close to the candle, herbs or resins may ignite. Please do not leave unattended!
