Tools of Transformation, Calibration and Restoring Harmony
Aloeswood is an ancient masterpiece of natural scent. Coming from the healing substance produced naturally by affected aquilaria trees, this precious incense is a medicine for the soul.
Aloeswood has a calming influence on the nervous system, its gentle fragrance enhances ceremonial tea tasting and deep states of meditation.
The profound, indescribable scent can boost the mood to elevated states with mild psychoactive effect. The therapeutic benefits make it suitable for connoisseurs, advanced meditators or those dealing with anxiety.
Awaken is made from a cultivated Vietnamese aloeswood, so to preserve this tree species in a managed way. I don’t want to popularise incense that is depleting resources, so I have chosen this verity for that reason.
The scent is rich and divine. The purposefully thin sticks are pure with no binder - yet produce a powerful natural scent that immediately induces calm.
Awaken transports to a temperate jungle, a balmy ocean sunset - the trees native environment - yet also a to sophisticated temple space, where grounded stillness permeates the air

Dream Time : Blue Lotus

Blue Lotus flower petals are a powerful tonic to enhance dreaming abilities. Working on the third eye,
It can feel there is vision, even with eyes closed

The effect is subtle, yet also not. In sleeping time we are more sensitive and experiences enhanced

Try working with a little spoon full to begin with, steeped in boiling spring water, for around five-ten minutes. Then increase and find your dose

Best done with a calm, balanced mind. Your heart in the love frequency. You can add some chamomile, vervain or rose also to enhance this.

It can calm anxiety however having a practice of alchemising fear is a good tool, when working with dreams. Dreams often tap into what is hidden, what we suppress

Coming back to the deep, rhythmical breath if things come up. Dropping into loving positive thoughts, will always alchemise and rebalance

Dream journaling also enhances the experience and shows you are available to dive deeper. Dreams are symbolic so it can take time and lateral thinking to decode them

Our MOON mist contains beautiful dreaming and calming herbs, which is a perfect companion. To spritz on your pillow or after waking

Hope you enjoy trying our blue lotus flower petal tea and our MOON atmosphere mist to enhance your dreams and lucid capabilities.

Love

In the fullness of Summer, slowing down to meet the frequency of nature

Aligning with plants & trees to ground & exchange energy. What we omit, they absorb and vice versa.

Emotional benefits of aligning with flowers, plants and trees are immediate. Inhaling pure aromatics (as well as natural incense sticks and organics) positively effect the limbic brain - the part responsible for emotions and behaviours. When we have an imbalance, our brain changes our sense of smell and taste.

Natural scents and flavours we are drawn to, are likely able to rebalance us. It’s interesting to look up the properties of plants we like and take internal note.

What smells are you drawn to right now?

Ancient voices silently speak. Incense & Tea have lasted 5000 years or more. Ancient people, ancestors, have each developed this practice … left an invisible trace … carried it along humbly. Who’s to say ‘everything’ will change … or these practices will still evolve and flow with the river of life, through another 5000 spirals of Earth

A little vial of Ostara from my tea cupboard, was the tonic of this dawn chorus. I love my high elevation red tea in the morning and the floral notes of Ostara natural incense - which contains crushed magnolia blooms, infused such beauty into this subtle act

Deep gratitude to experience this at sunrise

Awakening
The emergence of Spring sees us walking out from the darkness, softened by the delicate pink blossom of the prunus tree, that embodies this gentle, yet warrior-like awakening. This time however, there is a sense of something deep in the Earth etherically supporting, that is not quite ready to bloom ...
