Mind Body and Spirit

Frankincense today is widely being used in cosmetics, perfumes, medicines, and even foods. Even though the origins of this ancient herb had similar uses, its key properties are how it works with the mind body and the spirit to deepen your spiritual experience.

Mind

For thousands of years the use of frankincense has helped one in meditation and prayer. Being used globally in places of worship, it keeps our mind focus and still. The aromatic smoke from the resin has a chemical known as Incensol acetate that activates TPRV3 channels in the brain increasing brain activity. The smoke is known to help with mind conditions such as anxiety, stress and depression, when we are in a state of awareness we become naturally conscious of what’s going on around us. The brain is known to have abilities that many of us cannot tap into due to the way we live our lives today. By using more of our brain we have the potential to connect on a higher spiritual frequency to the creator.

Body

Not many people are aware of the fact that Frankincense can be taken internally. People in Arabia and Africa chew on frankincense, as we would chew gum after a meal or as a mouth freshener. But there is also strong medicinal use for frankincense by taking it internally. Frankincense helps with digestion, menstrual pain, arthritis pain, kidney infections, Bladder infection, Purifies red and white blood cells and can even stop the spread of cancer.

The method to internally use frankincense is by drinking the resin. This is carried out by boiling one piece of resin, the size of an almond and adding to a pan of boiling water (4 cups full). The resin will start to fizz and dissolve. Continually stir the resin in the pan until it is fully dissolved. The water will turn cloudy in colour. Just pour into a mug a drink. This can be taken around three times a week.

Spirit

One of the key uses of frankincense has been in the use of purifying negative energies and a protection from Jinn’s (bad spirits). When we burn the frankincense the smoke from the resin releases its particles into the atmosphere, which push out all the impurities that we cannot see with the naked eye. The spirit world is one that even if you don’t belive it.it does exist, and we must not be ignorant to the fact that there is another world within our own another dimension. Jinns have the ability to transform transcend and even appear into human form. But the heavenly aroma of frankincense repels these bad Jinns as the pure smell makes them react and keeps them away
