It empowers us to become grounded in body, flowing in emotion and free in spirit. This can be helpful when connecting with sources for inspiration, creativity and healing to ground visions to the physical world.

Frankincense is made from the resin of the Boswellia tree family. It grows in the driest deserts of Africa, India, mountains of Asia and across the vast expanse of the Arabian desert.   For more than 6,000 years, Frankincense has been transported by caravans of camels, and traded from the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Sea.

Its woody fragrance and medicinal properties has been an integral part of spiritual and religious ceremonies in almost every ancient civilisation in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and China and has been found in the remains of ancient Egyptian and Anglo-Saxon civilizations.
