Myrrh Resin Incense - Traditional and Sacred Use of Resins

MYRRH

Planet: Saturn Element: Water

Like frankincense, Myrrh has always been seen as a sacred substance. Again worth it's wieght in gold
and used in ceromony. The spirit plant of myrrh spins ethereal threads that link and physical and
spiritual realms.

"I will accompany you on your soul's journey, I bridge the
divide between heaven and earth."

Myrrh comes from a thorny shrub bearing small white flowers that grows in the Middle East, North Africa, and
Northern India. It possesses a richly bitter scent. Prized for its opulent and enduring perfume, myrrh was
seen as a magical substance that was capable of connecting heaven and earth. The Egyptians believed
that the golden drops of resin were the tears of Horus, the falcon-headed sun god. Known as punt or phun,
it was included in their sacred perfume Kyphi, burned at sunset as a thanks and offering to the sun god, Ra.
The Egyptians also used it during funerals and in embalming rituals, as it was thought to accompany the soul
on its journey to the spirit world and afterlife. The Hebrews drank wine flavored with myrrh to prepare them
for worship. This was also one of the three gifts that the wise men presented to baby Jesus, and was also
featured in His death, when Nicodemus anointed His body with a mixture of myrrh and aloes. This exotic
substance has been used in magic and religion for at least 4,00 years.

Inhale the scent of the burning incense or crushed myrrh resin, more properly called oleo-gum-resin, to
awaken you awareness of the spiritual reality behind our everyday existence. It is a great tool to use before
prior to or during religious rituals as it strengthens the link between our crown and base chakras. The result
is expanded awareness, the calming of fears and halting the questions concerning the future. It is helpful in
evoking tranquility, calms the nervous system, promotes healing, and eases sorrow and grief by helping to
heal the wounds caused by the feelings of loss and rejection.

Myrrh may be sniffed prior to meditation to achieve a fitting mood bringing a connection between the
chakras. Or the resin may be burned and the scent inhaled with visualization to speed healing of the
physical body.

Why Use Myrrh Resin?

When used in ceremony the resin, being
less processed than essential oils, hold
more essence of the plant and more spirit
energy. This concentration of the
"blood" of the plant is what make them
powerful reservoirs of natural energies.
They are different than essential oils and
are meant to be used in different ways.
The most common way to use resins is to
place them on a burning piece of
charcoal tablet allowing the aroma of the
smoke to fill the space, releasing its
energy and essence. They are also a key
ingredient in making true and real
incense being combined with essential
oils and finely ground woods, such as
sandalwood. Resins can be used for their
aromatic qualities alone, as an aid to
holistic healing, and of course in spiritual
and religious rituals. Adding resins to
your own rituals and ceremonies will not
only add new dimensions and enhance
the effects of the ritual, but bring the
higher qualities and vibrations to the
event.

Use myrrh resin incense to enhance your spiritual and religious ceremonies and rituals. Aiding in healing and health. The plant spirits of natural resins add protection, purification, and sacredness to all that you do.

Resins, such as myrrh have been used for over 4,00 years in spiritual and religious rituals dating back to the
time of Babylon when 57,320 lbs/26,00 kg of frankincense was burned on the golden altars as an offering to Bael,
one of their solar deities. The most commonly known resins are myrrh, frankincense, and copal, however, many
others exist. Less commonly known in the western world are dragon's blood, which comes from China, and Peru
balsam from South and Central America.
Traditional and spiritual use of dried plant resins are recorded in the early history of man in Egypt, Babylon, Israel,
and the ancient Mayas. The plant spirit of each resin holds different properties and are used for different
purposes, such as frankincense, which is used for enhancing meditation and
deepening any religious experience.
