Many people waft the incense over them as a sign of cleansing. This probably is a form of autosuggestion, for movement can represent an intention. It the case of lighting incense or using its smoke as a cleansing, it is the intention that is the great mover or cleanser. If the person can consciously feel the intention the movement is not necessary.
In India the ash from incense or joss sticks in temples is sometimes seen as holy and as having special powers of healing or prosperity, perhaps in a spiritual fashion. This ash carries the influence of the guru into ones life, and at the same time reminds one that physical life ends in such dust.
