[Blindtlk] Incense

[Julie J.]

You just light the end, like you would a candle or a cigarette or whatever. 
the only difference is that you only let it burn for a few seconds, then 
blow it out.  An ember will remain which will burn slowly and send up the 
smoke that is the scent you want.

Check for flame by holding your hand near it.  Then gently blow on it. 
Usually you can hear the flame go out.  Then check for the remaining ember 
by holding your hand over the end of the incense.  If it's a flame you will 
feel a lot of heat several inches from the source.  If it's the ember you'll 
be able to get quite close before feeling the heat.

The dangerous part is not putting the burning incense into an appropriate 
holder.  They make all sorts of really neat ones, but any ceramic plate will 
do.  I like the incense cones better. They fit nicely into a small dish or 
ashtray.

Hello,

I’m wondering, is there some way for someone blind to burn incense? I have 
no vision, and am afraid of lighting an incense stick. Are there other ways 
that aren’t so dangerous?

Thanks,
Brandon
