Scents of the Seasons
Good sleep begins with good fragrance.
Since antiquity, incense has been a tool of practice — purifying space and calming the mind. In NEDO, the "Scent Tool" is not mere aromatherapy. It is a key that silences worldly noise and opens the gate to the land of dreams.
Each of the four scents invites you to a different realm.
Which scent will you sleep with tonight — that too is a form of practice.
The Four Scents
四つの薫
The White Musk
Hakujakou
A scent of pure innocence.
Like musk purified by moonlight, this pristine fragrance has been treasured since antiquity. It banishes idle thoughts and guides the mind to a state of emptiness. Burn this before entering your bed, and all impurities of the day are washed away.
Benefits for Practice
- Calms cognitive hyperarousal
- Pairs well with "Zen of Wakefulness" and "Listening to the Silence"
The White Tea
Hakucha
A scent dressed in silence.
White tea, picked in the misty mountains of Fujian, China. Its delicate aroma feels like walking through morning mist. A signpost for sinking into deep silence, away from the world's clamor.
Benefits for Practice
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system
- Ideal before "Breath Tuning" and "Rei of Bed-in"
The Crystal
Suishou
A scent of transparency.
Clear as crystal, free of all impurity. It washes away the turbidity of the mind and clarifies thought. A ritual scent for resetting the day before sleep.
Benefits for Practice
- Cognitive clarification and letting go
- Resonates with "Calligraphy of Dreams" and "Lunar Eclipse behind Eyelids"
The White Lily
Shirayuri
A scent of elegance.
The purity of white lily fused with the sensuality of jasmine — a harmony of contradictions. It transforms the bedroom into a sanctuary, blurring the boundary between mundane reality and sacred dreams. Those who sleep in this fragrance are said to dream with grace.
Benefits for Practice
- Enhances sleep quality (deepens REM sleep)
- Complements "The Way of the Roll" and "The Mercy of Re-entry"

How to Use

Add to Diffuser
Add 3-5 drops to a water-filled diffuser. Not too much, not too little. Follow the middle way.

Once the scent fills the room, begin your NEDO practice. Unite fragrance and breath, and sink into sleep.
