為什麼聞香會想哭或頭暈、排氣、想吐？Why do some people feel nauseous upon smelling incense?

    聞香會頭暈想吐，首先，必須先確認是否買到化學香。由於化學香燃燒時，會釋放苯、甲醛、丁二烯、二甲苯等十多種有毒化學物質，對能量感知較敏銳、體質較敏感的人，或在密閉不通風的空間燃香，都會讓人產生噁心、想吐、頭暈、胸悶的感覺。

If you feel sick and nauseous upon smelling incense, there are some things for you to clarify. First, check if the incense you bought contains chemicals. Since artificial incense consists of poisonous chemicals, including benzene, formaldehyde, butadiene, dimethyl benzene, those who are sensitive to energy tend to feel uncomfortable while smelling it. Or, if you burn incense in close surroundings where the ventilation is not good enough, then you may also feel sick, dizzy, or even stuffy.

 

  

    但如果是漢方和香，聞了會有這樣的感覺，可能是當下對這種氣味的排斥〈可參閱【為什麼會排斥身旁點香的人或香】一文〉，或是身體的好轉反應，把體內長久積壓的穢氣或負面能量透過排氣、嘔吐的方式釋放出來。除了身體，情緒也會有排毒的現象，香氣有時會引動潛意識的事件，被壓抑、未被處理的情緒，就會透過哭泣釋放出來，讓我們去面對、處理、圓滿一切。

However, in case you smell natural synthetic incense but still feel uncomfortable, it is likely that you reject the scent of the very product. (In such a case, please refer to another article, titled “Why do some people reject incense and those who burn it?”) Additionally, such a reaction may signal that your body is becoming healthier, because you are getting rid of the negative or filthy energy accumulated in your body by breathing or vomiting. On a deeper level, your emotions can turn more positive, for the fragrance of the incense can trigger some suppressed or unhandled emotions that lie in your sub-consciousness. As a result, you may also feel like crying to let go of those emotions. Such an act actually reminds you to cope with some things in order to improve your life.

  

品香靜心時，寂靜的氛圍會讓我們對日常生活的事件、情感等議題有了距離，這個距離很自然地就會產生一種美感、明晰與洞察。就在這個狀態下，我們會感受到天地萬物和自己的存在、會深思生命存在的價值與意義。當我們透過香氣，將注意力完全收攝回來，跟自己的心、跟內在的愛有很深的連結時，淚水也會自然的流動出來。淚水是很好的淨化與療癒，經過這樣的流動，身體和情緒都會覺得輕鬆，內心也會變得很寧靜。

When we quiet down and appreciate the incense, the serene atmosphere creates a subtle distance, which separates us from our daily routines or emotions and such a sensation makes us feel more profoundly about beauty, lucidity, and inspection. Under such circumstances, we may feel that we coexist with all the beings and can thus start to ponder over the value and meaning of life. As soon as we pull back all our attention, we build up a very strong bond with our heart and love. Meanwhile, we may also shed tears to clarify and heal ourselves. This makes us more relaxed and peaceful physically and emotionally.

  

  

香可以凝心安神，幫助我們排除身體與情緒的負面能量；也具有開啟內在愛力的作用。當嗅覺開始甦醒，也意味著我們內在正逐漸的覺醒。

Incense can stabilize our mind and help us eliminate the negative energy in our body and mind. Incense activates the power of love. As our sense of smell awakes, so does our consciousness.
