Designing the invisible air, through scent
Bow your head,
and enter.
From here, you go on.
Light the incense.
A single thread of scent rises, quietly.
Drift
Observe scent.
Perceive it yourself.
A scent shifts with time. The more closely you attend to that shift, the more quietly your senses sharpen.
Sharpening the senses, in three directions
Layer scent over the air, and the same room, the same view begins to look and feel different — another landscape, unseen, added to the space.
Cut away the excess and settle on a single scent. Face your own breath and senses, and raise the resolution within. Time to sharpen.
Look closely at the material a scent comes from. What expression each one holds, what power sleeps inside — drawn out, with care.
Awakening
The senses grow clear.
未踏の知覚の、奥へ。
One breath.
