HEALING WITH AROMA

This is a fabulous company that was brought to me by Bibi McGill and I would like to thank her for highlighting such a great company . Bibi says “ I ’ m on the go and travel a lot . With myInsens , no matter where I am , I can create a sacred space reminiscent of a holy temple that assists me in cultivating peace , tranquility , grace and ease for my body , mind and emotions .”

myInsens is a Chicago-based company committed to providing holistic , natural , hand rolled incense sticks specifically for yogis , yoginis and the yoga industry . myInsens was founded in late 2012 and their products are used by yoga studios , health minded businesses and people throughout the United States , Canada and international yoga markets .
Working closely with local villagers in the majestic state of Gujarat in India , they researched and tested hundreds of aromas collaborating with world renowned yoga instructors and ambassadors to come up with only the finest selection of incense products . Each aroma has been carefully geared towards celebrating and enhancing the various human emotions . The first offering of scents included : Nag Champa , Sandalwood , Vanilla & Lavender , Rose & Olive Oil , Frankincense & Patchouli , and Raspberry & Rose .
Each incense burns for approximately 60 minutes which is well above the normal burn times of other incense sticks in the market .
This company believes in social responsibility and fair trade and have partnered with Yoga Gives Back .
Yoga Gives Back is a 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds in order to alleviate poverty in India . They started in Los Angeles in 2007 , determined to find a way for the US yoga community , which generates over six billion dollars per year , to help the poorest people in country that gave birth to yoga . Many charitable organizations have emerged from within the yoga community , but Yoga Gives Back specifically targets and supports our struggling sisters in India . In 2007 , inspired by Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Dr . Muhammad Yunus ’ revolutionary micro financing breakthrough , Yoga Gives Back began supporting micro credit programs . Through the Grameen Foundation , they fund programs who lend small loans to women who are otherwise excluded from the conventional banking and financial systems . In 2010 , exploring a way to get direct help to the poorest , YGB developed “ Sister Aid ” programs to fund education , vocational training on a personal basis , and micro credit programs . YGB has selected and partnered thus far with successful Non Governmental Organizations , NISHTHA in West Bengal and Deenabandhu in Karnataka . Yoga Gives Back is now a rapidly growing global community of volunteers , students , teachers , and advisors who work tirelessly by holding event classes , distributing information , and working hard to help change lives .
