Solar plexus chakra (Manipura) – positively affects complex emotions, personal power, suppresses fear, influences opinions. Its color yellow symbolizes optimism, enlightenment, warmth and clarity. Yellow is the color of the incoming and intensifying rays of the sun and the warmth it brings with it. It is the color of people born in the days of the beginning of summer, in the period from June 22 to July 22, i.e. in the sign of Cancer . It is therefore the color of the middle of the year, the successful start of a new journey, promises and fulfilled promises and "sunny" optimism.

Scented strings are handmade in Nepal using traditional methods . Local aromatic herbs from the Himalayas are used for this, which are ground into a fine powder mixture. This is then wrapped in thin strips of Nepali Lokta paper and gently twisted like a rope into a braid. Among other aromatic substances, the scented cords contain sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, nard - Nardostachis Jatamansi, foxglove - Orchis Latifolia, flowers from Didymocarpus Leucocalyx, chebuli heart, also called Nectar of Immortality - Tinospora cordifolia, musk, juniper and saffron.

Incense strings can be burned "standing up" in various containers, such as censers and smoking bowls , filled with fine sand, where we can stick them in like incense sticks, light their end and blow them out after burning for a while so that they only smolder. They can also be placed on the wire sieves of censers, in stone bowls, wooden chests or hung on a special stand designed for burning incense sticks.

Always make sure the incense strings are in a safe area away from places where their burning could cause a fire. Keep cords out of reach of children.
