The metaphysical properties of frankincense
In the course of history, frankincense was used to calm the soul, heal the body, to delight the senses, to summon spirits and to appease the gods. Although the exact origin of frankincense is unknown, it seems to be one of the earliest spiritual practices. Old texts from 1800 BC BC describes the burning of frankincense for spiritual purposes.
Although the metaphysical properties of frankincense have not yet been scientifically proven, the practitioners have been satisfied with the results since the beginning of the (at least recorded) story. In addition, scientific findings on aromatherapy and chemical composition essential oils have some surprising parallels to the metaphysical properties. Lavender is used, for example, in rituals or spells for spiritual cleaning, for protection and serenity. Chemicals in lavender oil have proven to be effective disinfectants and as a defense against pests (insects). In aromatherapy, lavender is the most popular fragrance for calming and concentration of the mind.
How exactly the metaphysical properties of incense are is heavily discussed. It largely depends on your personal beliefs and the use of the frankincense. The simplest belief is that frankincense simply determines the mood. Fatures have been shown to have profound effects on memory and emotional state. Many skeptics consider it a support. Many practitioners based on the intellectual power believe that it simply helps you access their natural strength by opening internal energy flows and helping to achieve the desired level of consciousness.
The vast majority of practitioners believe in the actual magical powers of frankincense. Those from natural materials carry the earth energy of the plant from which they come. In addition, the herbs, fragrances and formulas have their own powers to bring about their very special mystical way.
Many beliefs, practices and cultural traditions use the metaphysical properties of frankincense. It is an offering to the spirits and deities and gives ceremonies and spells its own strength. It is often used together with a variety of magical tools and offerings in rituals. However, many only use incense to help with meditation or fortune telling, to fulfill their wishes or just to develop their own magic.
