Smoke Magic - Creating your own Incense and Resin Blends

Posted by Stephaney Abilon on

Today I created some burning magic. The blend I consistently use causes others to pause on my doorstep and inquire as to why it always smells so good in my space. Bits of plants, spices, and resins to create our own ''plant church".
With the simple strike of a match we can send our wishes, spells and prayers slowly spiraling upward.
 
For centuries, resins, herbs, plants and spices have been burnt to fill the air with their magic. The smoke of burning incense in churches, typically Frankincense and Myrrh and cedar chips, is a symbol of prayer of the faithful rising to heaven. The burning of sage is to cleanse a space of negative energy, and to generate wisdom and clarity, and to promote healing.
 
Incense can be used for both clearing or generating. For a simple burning spell mix plants, herbs and even resins in a fireproof bowl and light with a match, or place over a charcoal tablet designed to burn incense. Toss some into a campfire or burning logs and prepare for it to release its smoky magic.
 
I like to gather the ingredients, some directly from nature, the others I have had stored away for many lifetimes, some are gifts, resins from Mexico, herbs from Italy. Whether gathered or gifted these spices, plants, flowers, resins are precious and some rare. Work with them, infuse them with your spirit. The simple act of grinding peppercorns and cardamom, with a mortar and pestle can bring a sense of sacred sanctuary and purpose into the process as each one of these herbs and spices contain their own special meaning. I highly recommend grinding cardamom pods with lavender flowers. There is something about the synergy of these two smells that is quite....heavenly.
Also, explore put a few drops of clove oil on your Frankincense resin, allow it to rest for a few days before burning. The smell of the two ingredients together is lovely even without igniting. 
 
What they represent: 
Resins
Frankincense and Myrrh - symbolizing prayer and suffering
Spices
Cinnamon - Success and Strength
Peppercorns - Anti negativity and courage
Cardamom - Romance enhancing
Flowers and Trees
Fir - honesty, truth and forthrightness
Roses - Love
Lavender - Sleep and Harmony

  • Good day,

    My name is Eric and unlike a lot of emails you might get, I wanted to instead provide you with a word of encouragement – Congratulations

    What for?

    Part of my job is to check out websites and the work you’ve done with janeoberon.com definitely stands out.

    It’s clear you took building a website seriously and made a real investment of time and resources into making it top quality.

    There is, however, a catch… more accurately, a question…

    So when someone like me happens to find your site – maybe at the top of the search results (nice job BTW) or just through a random link, how do you know?

    More importantly, how do you make a connection with that person?

    Studies show that 7 out of 10 visitors don’t stick around – they’re there one second and then gone with the wind.

    Here’s a way to create INSTANT engagement that you may not have known about…

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know INSTANTLY that they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally checking out janeoberon.com.

    CLICK HERE http://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    It could be a game-changer for your business – and it gets even better… once you’ve captured their phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately (and there’s literally a 100X difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes.)

    Plus then, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can connect later on with text messages for new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to build a relationship.

    Everything I’ve just described is simple, easy, and effective.

    You could be converting up to 100X more leads today!

  • Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – janeoberon.com – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across janeoberon.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?

  • Hey there, I just found your site, quick question…

    My name’s Eric, I found janeoberon.com after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.

    So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?

    Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.

    That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.

    Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?

    Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.

    But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?

    You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re still there at your site.

    You know, strike when the iron’s hot!

    When targeting leads, you HAVE to act fast – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why you should check out our new SMS Text With Lead feature as well… once you’ve captured the phone number of the website visitor, you can automatically kick off a text message (SMS) conversation with them.

    Imagine how powerful this could be – even if they don’t take you up on your offer immediately, you can stay in touch with them using text messages to make new offers, provide links to great content, and build your credibility.

    Just this alone could be a game changer to make your website even more effective.
