Kindling has several meanings. I'm thinking you mean the most common, which is small sticks and other flammable material used to start a fire. Here are some sentences.

  • Gather some twigs and bark for kindling and we'll start our campfire.
  • The kindling is damp, so the fire won't light.
  • If you don't have kindling, it's harder to light a fire.

Kindling is also a verb meaning to start a fire. He is kindling a fire in our fireplace.

Kindling is also a term used to describe a process that occurs in the brain. If your brain is exposed to small stimuli for long periods of time, it can become hypersensitive to them, and the stimulus can then trigger your brain disorder, Scientists have found this kindling effect in epilepsy, Bipolar disorder, and alcohol withdrawal.

  • His mania was triggered by rapid mood cycling, and the psychiatrist said this was called kindling.
