Frankincense Resin

Frankincense is the resin/sap of trees from the Boswellia family. It's been used since ancient times, for a variety of purposes, including purification, chasing away interfering spirits, energetically resetting dwellings, mummification, and more. Some study has shown that it may actually induce a "heightened" or meditative mental state, which makes it a great companion for meditation.

It can be ground and mixed with other substances (we find that a mortar and pestle seems to work best) or the whole chunks can be burned as a loose incense.

For best relationship with this resource: Remember that this resource is gathered from a living tree, and honor the spirit of that tree when it is used, through acknowledgement. This can be very simple: speak to the spirit of the tree.
