The moment of birth is profoundly mystical, beyond what words can fully express. How many times have you witnessed or personally experienced the birth of life? Many people might answer, "not very often." This highlights how rare it is in one’s lifetime to be present for such a profound event.
If you have never witnessed the birth of life or experienced it firsthand, look forward to the possibility of such a moment in your future. Celebrate yourself in anticipation of that experience—because after all, you, too, were once born into this world.
As mentioned in previous discussions on the theme of prayer, the act of blessing is a deeply sacred gesture. The moment life comes into existence on this Earth is profoundly meaningful, and it is only natural to welcome it with blessings. This act of blessing is a universal ceremony, carried out by those who came into this world earlier, wishing for the happiness of all.
Each person has their own way of offering blessings. No matter the method, does incense play a role in yours?
For those who do use incense, what kind of prayers do you infuse into its fragrance? They are filled with beautiful sentiments, perfectly suited for a blessing. And if you have never used incense before, why not give it a try?
Incense carries invisible thoughts and prayers, delivering them through its scent and rising smoke. Choose one that aligns with your blessing ritual or tradition, and at the right moment, let its fragrance fill the space. Planning a new way to celebrate can also be a joyful experience. We offer a wide variety of incense, so you will surely find one that resonates with you. May you fully embrace and cherish the precious moment of life’s birth.
As a note, giving incense as a gift for a baby’s birth is a wonderful idea to support the mother’s relaxation and create a pleasant atmosphere. However, since the environment includes a baby, it is important to avoid strong scents or ingredients that may be stimulating, and instead choose a gentle, natural fragrance.
