What's the History of Incense?

Whats the History of Incense? 
Incense is deeply entwined with Tibetan culture, over 2500 years ago during the time of Buddha, medicinal and monastic formulas were developed combining five to thirty different ingredients. These masala mixtures contained herbs, plants, grass, wood bark, spices, flowers and minerals. Tibetan incense contains all nature ingredients and are prepared without glues, sticks, perfumes or dyes unlike commercial incense. The list of ingredients found in Tibetan incense is huge. Here are some of my favorites; lavender, cinnamon, rose, lemongrass, jasmine, frankincense, musk, myrhh and amber.

Tibetan incense is often used to purify and cleanse the atmosphere for mediation or prayer, the beautiful fragrances can provide a calm and soothing aroma that can help ones self keep calm and relaxed whilst practicing such spiritual exercises like meditation, yoga, astral projection and lucid dreaming. Each blend of incense can be used for different things, for example a blend called 'energy' made by Buddhist Incense Udhyog in Nepal is used to help promote clarity, concentration and energy renewal.

Frankincense, also known as Olibanum is one of my favorite things to burn as incense. It is obtained from the tress of Boswellia which is a genus of trees in the order Spaindales. (Members include maples, horse-chestnuts, lychees and rambutans). The essential oil made from Frankincense has been considered by many cultures and the 'holy anointing oil' which was used for healing and was used to treat every
conceivable illness known to man.

In ancient times Frankincense was valued more than gold and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, the Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century BC) an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. This wonderful essential oil made from this amazing resin is still used today to treat many things like; 

Concentration 
 Use 1-2 drops of Frankincense oil on temples and back of neck to improve concentration. 

Immune System 
Apply 1-3 drops of Frankincense oil on each foot to strengthen the immune system. 

Blisters 
 Dilute Frankincense oil 50/50 with V-6 (Vegetable) mixing oil and apply to a blistered area 3-5 times daily. 

Insect Bites
  Put a drop of Frankincense oil on an insect bite to help reduce swelling and speed healing. 

Depression
 Diffuse or inhale from the bottle to help with mood elevation. 

Brittle Nails
Apply 1-3 drops Frankincense on nails and at base of nails 3 times per week. 

Stretch Marks
 Rub a few drops on stretch marks 2 times a day. 

Cysts 
 Apply 1-2 drops on the cyst 2 times a day until it disappears. 

 Skin Health 
 Apply 1-2 drops of Frankincense oil on sun damaged skin spots 2 times a day until it disappears. 

Warts
 Put 2 drops on the wart 2 times a day until it disappears completely. 

Health Maintenance
 Dilute 1 drop  of Frankincense oil in 1tsp. honey or 4 oz. rice milk and ingest daily for health maintenance.

Crystals

A few of my beauties
Crystals have been used by tribes all over the world for many years for their therapeutic and healing properties. For example Baltic Amber amulets can be traced as far back as 30,000 years ago. Each different type of crystal has a unique structure which causes it to resonate at a certain frequency. These frequencies are what give it the beneficial properties. 

Crystals come in many shapes and sizes. There's tumble stones which are literally as the name suggests. They are put into a machine and tumbled until the crystals are smooth. 
You can also get wands with pointy ends. These can be used during healing practices such as Reiki. You can also use wands to charge your other crystals as the point enables the energy to flow directly. 
I love crystals in their true form, un-tumbled and un-carved. I think it gives more of a connection with mother nature due to there being no middle man messing with it.

I love my little crystal collection and feel lost when I don't have one round my neck. I thought I'd share with you our favourite crystals and would love it if you commented with your favourite crystal and what draws you to it.

Selenite 
My Selenite pieces
I absolutely adore Selenite. It contains feminine energy and can be used to connect with angelic or spirit guides. It's name comes from the Greek Goddess of the moon, Selene. 


This is such a beautiful crystal which has a frosted pearly white colour. It really is quite beautiful to look at as well as being amazing to hold. Perhaps as it's made up of 70% water is the reason it has such a soft feel to it, it actually reminds me of frosty ice shards. 

I was initially drawn to this crystal due to the it's properties. It boasts extremely high vibrations and can help to bring light from the higher realms into the physical body therefore helping with personal transformation and healing on all levels. The frequencies from Selenite are so powerful it absorbs any negative energy which surrounds it. This can benefit us by helping to clear the mind. As an added bonus this beautiful crystal directs high frequency energy into the body stimulating spiritual, physical and emotional healing. 

To cleanse Selenite you should not put it in water as it can dissolve easily. This isn't really an issue as Selenite is so pure and elevated it doesn't need cleansing. In other words it doesn't store bad energy, it absorbs the negative vibrations and then transforms them into light. 

Lapis Lazuli

Lapiz Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest spiritual stones known to man. It's actually made up of a number of different minerals - mostly Lazurite, Pyrite, Calcite and Sodalite. This may be the reason why it's so powerful. It can even be traced back to 9,000 years and was used on King Tutankhamen golden mask.
 It is another one of our favourites. This is due to the strong energy coming from it as well as its amazing benefits. This is a good crystal to aid with concentration which is well needed when tackling written work. The colour is a stunning dark blue which represents honour. This fits in nicely with its other attributes such as it being a stone of friendship which helps to bring harmony to relationships. It is also known as a stone of truth as it brings honesty of the spirit. Spiritually this beautiful crystal can help to quickly release stress which can result in peace and serenity. 

Just like Selenite it assists with connecting with spirit guides due to it being a good connector of the celestial and physical plane.

If you're thinking of buying some crystals I can fully recommend the lovely Kerry at Spirit and Soul Island
She has a wide range of beautiful pieces and has new stock regularly. 
The Lapis Lazuli pieces in the above picture were bought from here.
You can check her page here.

Do you have a favourite crystal and if so what draws you to it?

The Autumn Equinox

Autumn Equinox



There are two equinoxes every year - in September and march. Its when the sun shines on the equator and the length of day and night is pretty much equal. That's why its called an equinox because its derived from the Latin meaning for 'equal night'.  The September equinox occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator which invisible line in the sky above the earths equator. Right now in the Northern Hemisphere the sun is rising later and nightfall is coming sooner, our days are getting shorter and the leaves are going to start falling off the treas as autumn slips into season , creating a beautiful landscape of orange, yellow and red. 

 The autumn equinox signals the need to balance light and darkness within us. Buddhist 'Gary Thorp' in the book ' Caught in the fading light' teaches a wonderful story about accepting all situations where we are left in the dark without answers. 

"Once, when the Zen master Tokusan was still a student, he visited his teacher, Ryutan, just before sundown. They sat on the floor of Ryutan's hut, casually drinking tea and discussing Zen until deep into the night. At last, Ryutan said, 'Maybe it's about time you went home.' Tokusan bowed to his teacher and walked to the door. 'It's completely dark outside,' he said. Ryutan lit the lantern and said, 'Why not take this?' Just as Tokusan was about to take the lamp from his teacher's hands, Ryutan blew out the flame. Tokusan suddenly knew everything there was to know."

Thorp comments:   "Sometimes there is no remedy for our situation than to begin from a point of absolute darkness. Turning off a television set and extinguishing a lantern have certain similarities; they are both abrupt and transition making, and can leave us in a different world. In darkness, we are always on our own."
