Should you go with the flow or not? Should you surrender or should you manifest and create your own reality?
I am going to answer your question from experience, my experience and the experiences of many of my clients and students. So this will not be an intellectual answer or one based on suppositions or beliefs.
You ‘should’ do whatever you feel inspired to do. There really is no should involved in this. But there is the appearance of choice.
You can choose to imagine that life and reality are yours and that you can control and create your own reality. Most people do. But there is a price to pay for living this delusion. If you choose to live in this way then there will be struggle, suffering and there will always be unintended consequences. Inner peace will only be a fleeting or periodic experience no matter how ‘successful’ you become. Total and complete fulfillment will be elusive and out of reach. Experience of the flow will be intermittent at best and only at moments when you are completely focused on a particular task or practice.
If you choose and commit to constant total and absolute surrender then you relinquish the belief that you are in control of reality and that life belongs to you; Life flows beautifully, Synchronicity is how events play out every day, Everything working out perfectly becomes the norm. All of this happens effortlessly, without stress, without struggle, without suffering and without control.
The surrender requires great courage at first. Letting go of the beliefs that limit you takes some time and experience. Eventually the process becomes autonomic. I have posted an article about exactly how to do this and posted it at my blog
. You are most welcome to read it there and to use all the meditations and practices I have posted.

Happy Shopper –
Love this!! The mess stays contained! I was initially hesitant to lay a smoking scent stick in there because you lay it on the felt! That scared me at first. I’ve burned hundreds and it’s done great! I would recommend this to anyone who’s tired of the ash mess.

Absolutely LOVE my exotic-looking little incense burner… I love the rose gold colour. Beautiful, sturdy and perfectly functional!
Claudia –
I bought this to burn frankincense resin in and have already received a number of requests asking where I bought it so friends could buy it too!
Peggy –
Great if you want to use multiple incenses at a time. I love it!
D Wilson –
This incense holder is very nice and it does keep all the ashes in it. The incense that they sent with it smells WONDERFUL !! I just wish I knew the name of them so I could order more.
Jackson –
Once you get decent cones and line it up properly this works very well. My daughter has it in her “zen” corner of her room.
Lacey –
I thought this was way more beautiful than advertised. I love it!
Suellen Springer –
I love the rustic look of the incense burner. The wood grain and color is beautiful and it catches all the ash from the incense making it easy to clean up. No more wiping ask off counters and tables. This is exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend it.
Shannon Livesey –

I purchased the bronze one. Not a bad purchase its a good buy. Came packaged well in a product box. No dents, no scratches in or on it. Comes with ash tray and matching tongs for grasping your resins. Excellent weight. Its an adorable piece for its price. May buy a second one.
Brenda Miranda –
I love this incense holder, it holds all ashes, so no more spilling on the sides like those thin ones you can buy everywhere. You can also use it as a tray for gemstones, or just a piece of art on a table set, any way you use it, it looks beautiful.
Ebba Buchanan –
This censer works surprisingly well. Just don’t burn more than one stick of incense at a time. Burning two produces enough heat to scorch the bamboo.
Jessica –
A very useful product. Easy to handle. Value for money.
Louise –
Very cute! I like him a lot! Seems very high quality & it was well packaged with one backflow Incense cone & holder & a placemat for him to sit.
Lennon –
Cascading smoky effort makes it a good surprising gift element. Value for money.
Few scents partially broke during packaging. Yet usuable.
William –
Quality is awesome. Dimensions are as mentioned. Easy to clean. Perfect for standard size agarbatti. Ashes didn’t spill outside.
Kenneth D Quamson –
This incense burner is a little more refined than many of the basic incense burners out there. I like the fact that it looks like a nice, wooden bowl when not in use.

OMG this piece is amazing! I love it!
Linda R. Amburgy –
The level of detail is fantastic. Was shipped very nicely.
Alysha –
Much better than the thin holders where you have to angle the incense stick right down the middle or you’ll end up with ash everywhere. This is a nice unique handmade crafted boat-style shaped incense holder that will catch all the as.

Love these, great for gifts. Bought three.
James –

I bought this for my brother for his birthday. He is hard to shop for. He loved it! It’s really nice.

Looks great on my bookshelf! Great size, shipped in protective packaging.
Deirdre C. –
This is a beautiful incense holder and worth the price. I’ve used really cheap horizontal holders in the past and the holes are always drilled a little sideways so most of the incense stick isn’t over the tray, which gets ash everywhere and defeats the purpose of an incense holder.

This little Buddha is very beautiful. I elevated it by putting it on a dish with pretty marbles to make it stand out. I am very happy with this little decorative tree and statue. It is now the main centerpiece of my meditation table ❤️🧘♀️😍.

Good quality for the price, I was pleasantly surprised. I hope I can give him a happy home.
Richard –
Love it! Exactly as described.
Smith –
Looks very nice and can be displayed anywhere in the house. However, I find it intriguing how few incense sticks burn till the end while keeping them horizontally without manual stimulants and few extinguish within a few minutes/seconds of lighting them.
