Goloka Reiki Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen / Timelessness

Second review - scroll down for earlier


I discovered a box of older incense, some of which was unreviewed, others, such as this, which have been reviewed, but a long time ago. I've enjoyed burning these "vintage" incenses, and renewing acquaintance with some of my favourite incenses from Satya and Goloka, the two most popular and readily available masala incense houses. 

The scent on the stick is luscious. Fluffy and woody and floral with light playful spring flowers - rose, jasmine, daisies. The burn is steady and attractive, leaning more toward the wood than the florals.

First review

This Reiki series is based on the Japanese reiki healing system, which is a form of faith healing or alternative therapy. There are five fragrances in the series - I got this one in a clearance sale for 20p from the UK site Ian Snow,  but they are now all sold out. The Scenter (UK) still has some in stock for 99p each, or a random any two Goloka for £1.59, or £3.48 for three of your choice with free postage [2024 comment: All links down so have been removed]. A Google search for "Goloka Reiki" will show sites all over the world selling the series.

This Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, which is translated as "Timelessness", is what is called distance healing in reiki. As there is no barrier in reiki - there is no past, present, or future (hence "timelessness"), then healing can be sent across time and space.

The scent is gentle and quite delightful. Hints of dark fruits - plum, fig and blackcurrant, with top notes of green tea, supported by a a clean and refreshing base of sandalwood. This is top quality incense by what I feel is the one of the best incense producers in India, and possibly the world. Goloka's incense is always beautiful, and always gentle, and always unique. And they are a non-profit organisation helping women and children in India. What's not to like?

    Well thanks for that promotional link Chandalie

    The links go to an advert for some books/CDs on reiki healing. The company is selling them for $47 / £40.

    Accredited and professional courses range from around $/£200 for beginners up to $/£1,000 for advanced. So getting some books sounds cheap. Except that you can get an introductory book on reiki healing for around £/$6, in which case the books sound expensive.

    But you pays your money and takes your choice.

    My personal recommendation. Get a book such as Reiki-Healing-Beginners-Practical-Remedies for starters, and if you remain interested, seek out an accredited course in your local area.
