🧘
Intention: “May the best possible happen for the good of all”
Indigo's tip for the seventh sense: “Frankincense simply amplifies what is already there.”
Not all frankincense smells the same. Depending on where it comes from, it can be lemony, sweet or, like this one, naturally tart.
Frankincense Africa comes from Eritrea and Somalia. In incense tradition frankincense is associated with the masculine principle, and Indigo describes it as a resin that “simply amplifies what is already there”. Its tart character suits anyone who prefers an original frankincense scent. Indigo fills it in 30 g jars.
📋 How to use
Hold the incense charcoal with tongs over a flame to light it and place it on shell sand in a fireproof vessel. Let it glow for about 15 minutes until it is covered with white ash. Then add one or two frankincense grains with an incense spoon. Enjoy the scent as if smelling a flower, do not inhale it. If it starts to smell burnt, lift the remains off with the spoon and smother them in the sand.
