Good Morning Everyone! I wanted to give you a meditation today that will make your house smell Amazing, uplift your mood and set an Intention for your day! I don't know about you, but sometimes I need an extra boost to get motivated. One of the easiest ways to give yourself an added boost, or set a certain mood, is through the sense of smell. Smells come in many different Aromas... from baking cookies, burning a candle, putting out fresh lavender or rose petals, diffusing essential oils or burning incense. I absolutely love burning incense! Along with my love of diffusing, incense immediately relaxes me. I use it in all of my massages at the Spa and at my home. I have my favorite scents, but I wanted to share this recipe I found in my Meditation book, and give it a try!
When you put together this incense blend and light it, watch as the smoke carries your intentions up and into the Universe, enhancing your day.
What you'll need:
A small bowl
1 Teaspoon Frankincense Resin
1 Teaspoon dried Chamomile Blossoms
1 Teaspoon dried Rosemary
1 Teaspoon dried Mugwort
1 Teaspoon dried Jasmine Flowers
STEP ONE: Place the Frankincense in the bowl, making sure its crushed into small pieces. Add the herbs one at a time, stirring gently in a clockwise direction.
STEP TWO: As you blend the herbs together, envision power and energy infusing them. Set your intention by saying aloud what you want to see happen in your life. This can be something you are working on for yourself, or something you want to see happen in your community or the world. Peace, love, good fortune, kindness, devotion, motivation, energy, good health, spiritual or physical healing, etc...
It's your intention to make, so take some time to think on it.
TIPS for BURNING Incense:
When you're burning incense, be sure to use a firesafe bowl. Light a charcoal disc(available at any spiritual supply shop. I like to get my Incense and massage supplies at Radiance Herbs and Massage in Olympia). When the disc begins to spark, sprinkle a small amount of the loose incense on top and let it burn. As the smoke rises to the sky, set your intention and ruminate on your thoughts as you sip this cocktail pairing 🍸
