Frankincense {Trust Yourself}

Frankincense—the ancient resin with a smoky, sacred scent—invites us into quiet trust. Trust not just in the unfolding of our practice, but in the truth of our own inner wisdom. This month, as we breathe in the subtle fragrance of frankincense, we lean into the theme Trust Yourself. It’s a gentle reminder that within each of us lies a knowing that’s deeper than doubt, steadier than fear.

How to use

Begin your practice by lighting a small bowl of frankincense resin or using a drop of frankincense essential oil on a diffuser. Sit for a few breaths and invite your body to soften. As you inhale the resin’s warm, grounding aroma, imagine drawing down trust like a root into your bones. As you exhale, release hesitation, second-guessing, or the need for external approval.

Reflection

When in my life have I trusted my own voice, even when it felt uncertain?

Allow yourself to write freely or simply sit with the scent of frankincense and listen to what surfaces.
