exhale peace.
Sending scented greetings your way.
Have a blessed Friday ❣️

Let the baraka of aromatic plants nurture and fortify your soul and body.
Have a blessed Friday! 💛

Burning incense cleanses your home and balances your heart and mind, making way for a beautiful day.
I had still some of the incense blend of last Friday - Bay leaf and frankincense resin for clarity of mind and spirit, rose buds and cardamom seeds for all encompassing love, so I burned it also today.
The word incense comes from the Latin word incensum, which means "to set on fire".
When you burn incense on charcoal, enjoy the process of lighting up the coal, let it smolder for some time to loose some of the hottest heat. Take your time to admire the energy of fire and then bury the charcoal into ashes.
If you use incense ingredients that burn really easily, place a small mica plate on top to lengthen the burning time. This way you lengthen the time aromatic vapours are released to the air for you to enjoy. The most common mistake is to add the incense on too hot coal, which just quickly burns down everything. I still do that once a while and get the necessy reminder for being impatient.
The only way to learn to burn incense on charcoal is practice, but I hope this post helps and inspires you. I have also an electric burner but that is mainly reserved for those rare, rare occasions, when I burn agarwood.
Let the baraka of aromatic plants to support your heart and lighten up your soul.
Have a blessed Friday! 💚

Beautifully scented geranium blooms embody the essence of spring, helping you to be receptive and open in the middle of change, especially when it already has come a reality. I noticed how in the midst of the past pandemic especially women were craving for the aroma of geranium, even if earlier they were not too keen on it. Its deep sweet flowery aroma nurtures and balances, helping you to adjust to the new reality, embracing the good and honoring the feminine.
Geranium and orange is a wonderful, simple combination, rich in fragrance, overflowing sunshine and sweetness. Perfect for days when you're feeling meh and need a little reminder of all your blessings.
Essential oils from both of these plants are beautiful energetic allies. How do you work with them?

Today I wanted to put together an incense blend from all natural ingredients, which reflects the clarity and love Allah SWT offers us through the use of aromatic plants.
Bay leaf from Alkanz Aromatic Garden and frankincense resin for clarity of mind and spirit combined with couple of Moroccan rose buds and cardamom pods for all encompassing love pounded together in a mortar creates a blend, which produces plenty of highly fragrant sweet smoke to be spread across the house. Use low heat,so the ingredients don't burn too quickly.
Burning incense cleanses your home and balances your heart and mind, making way for a beautiful day.

"Incense is a potent metaphor for the sweet, ephemeral nature of life itself. The ritual scenting of our surroundings calms the frenzy of everyday existence. It also heightens our awareness of breath and the preciousness of time."
Let the baraka of aromatic plants calm and nourish your soul and body.
Have a blessed Friday! 🧡

Sitting in my garden listening to plants helps me to rest and re-focus. I observed Sweet Marjoram swaying in the wind. It is blooming now and you can see it on the front of the fragrant pink geraniums.
This herb symbolises all encompassing love, helping with physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aches and distress, offering comfort, rest and renewal.
We need rest to be able to dream and recharge. Rest includes physical rest as well as letting go of emotional conflicts, festering grievances and stuck energy. You cannot feel truly energised and positive, if you're carrying old loads on your shoulders and in your heart.
The peacefulness, rest and healing Sweet Marjoram's green, sweet and pungent aroma offers, makes it easier to transition to the bright light and buzz of Spring.

"It roars like a lion,
Yet so calm and sincere,
Like a refined diamond.
Much beauty lurks here.
It’s in the ocean you find true beauty,
Where worlds hide in the deep.
The ocean is where you find mystery,
Where things live, die, and sleep.
The ocean is where you go to ponder.
It relaxes the mind, body, and soul.
In the ocean I often wander.
It helps me focus on my goal."
Happy Sunday ❣️

Japanese Cedar incense spreads into the air to scent the living space. Feeling a bit tired I wanted something fortifying and strengthening.
The wordly business had nearly taken over until I lit the incense sticks and took a deep breath.
Be at peace, be at ease, be plessed.
It is Friday!
Remember to use the baraka of aromatic plants to uplift your soul and invigorate your body.

Burning natural incense this Friday makes me instantly grateful for the baraka of the creation of Allah SWT, so strongly present in the aromatic plants.
Watching the smoke drift away and the incense cone getting shorter and shorter reminds me of our lives on this earth. When I'm gone, burned until the end, what is left behind? Just ashes and dust, or is there beauty, delightful fragrance drifting in the air and joyful memories, bringing comfort to those left behind?
Let the baraka of aromatic plants to support and comfort your soul.
Have a blessed Friday! 💚

Today is the second Friday of Ramadan and I wanted to put together an incense blend from all natural ingredients, which reflects the enlightenment and protection Allah SWT offers us, also through the use of aromatic plants.
Small amount of sandarac and frankincense resins combined with couple of juniper berries and gloves, pounded together in a mortar creates a fragrant blend, which produces plenty of soft fragrant smoke to be spread across the house.
Burning incense cleanses your home and balances your heart and mind, making way for a beautiful day.

Scent marks movement and transition amid different spaces, times, and concepts. Sweet, perfumed agarwood incense blend beautifies my space this first Friday of the month of Ramadan, taking me back to Masjid Al- Haram in Mecca.
Different cultures and religions use scent to differenciate sacred spaces and rituals from the everyday life, creating scent memories for the soul.
Rose water and oud are the scents of the holiest place on earth for Muslims.
Let the baraka of aromatic plants to support your heart and lighten up your soul.

There is no greater joy, than to create from the heart.
Incense blending can be highly creative and joyful task. Burning incense is a beautiful way to cleanse your home and create a relaxing atmosphere.
Today I combined aromatic materials from different continents : Copal Oro resin from Indonesia, Austalian Sandalwood powder, Moroccan Rose buds and needles of Lebanon Cedar growing here in UK for a rich blend, which produced lots of fragrant, soft smoke.
Use the baraka of aromatic plants to nourish your soul and body.

Sunday self-care: listen to the sound of the sea, relax and breathe in the salty sea air.🌊
Distilling aromatic plants from your garden is a great blessing, full of barakah. You have a deeper relationship with the plant and it reflects to the energetics of the outcome. To make a hydrodistillation during winter, when the water element is at its height gives it special depth.
This artisan distilled Alkanz French Lavender, Lavandula dentata hydrosol makes a fantastic natural spritz to spray on body and around you, especially now when we are going through a flu season. The hydrosol is bright, camphorous and feels energizing.
Saturday self-care with essential oils:
Sweet, deeply balancing moment with Immortelle on CV17 started this day. The happy, honey -like scent followed me through the day until golden sunset. I recommend the AcuAroma course by Angela @waves_of_change_wellness , it is a beautiful experience ❣️
