The Journey to QiLing Aura
From Urban Stress to Inner Peace
Emily Teng, the founder of QiLing, understands the challenges of navigating a high-pressure urban lifestyle.
Born in Zhejiang, China, and moving to Los Angeles with her family, Emily frequently traveled between the U.S. and Hangzhou for work.
This hectic schedule left her struggling with insomnia and anxiety.
Seeking relief, Emily turned to ancient Eastern practices like meditation, aromatherapy, and mindfulness.
These traditions led her to holistic health and inner peace amidst the chaos.
Inspired by her journey, Emily created QiLing Aura as a sanctuary for urban dwellers seeking balance and tranquility.
QiLing Aura draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Chinese traditional culture to offer a unique collection of Thangka jewelry and natural handmade incense sticks, infused with centuries-old wisdom and heritage.
Rooted in the belief that harmony of the senses leads to inner peace, QiLing Aura’s offerings are crafted using authentic techniques and recipes passed down through generations.
Each piece of Thangka jewelry and every incense stick serve as conduits to ancient rituals and practices, guiding individuals on a journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, and tranquility.

The Essence of QiLing Aura
A Bridge Between Tradition and Modernity
QiLing Aura, derived from the Chinese transliteration of “啟靈” (Enlighten the Soul) or “麒麟” (Qi Lin), explores the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese culture to offer a unique line of Thangka jewelry and natural handmade incense sticks steeped in heritage.
Each incense stick and piece of Thangka jewelry connect users to ancient rituals, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and calm. Inspired by mythical creatures from Chinese folklore, QiLing Aura embodies ancient wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
Drawing from the revered Kirin, QiLing Aura leads individuals on a transformative path of serenity through the art of jewelry craftsmanship and incense rituals.
