Incense is having a real moment and in this episode we're exploring why and also talking through some of our favourite incense scents.Why is incense so popular again? Incense has moved from temples and churches into living rooms,studios and perfume wardrobes; it's become a chic, modern ritual asmuch as a smell.Trend reports link the boom to the hunger for spiritual and holisticpractices – incense is an easy way to pause, “set an intention” andcreate a little ceremony around everyday life.Incense vs frankincense “Incense” is the whole blend you burn – it might be on a stick, cone, coilor rope – and can contain resins, woods, herbs, spices and florals. “Frankincense” (also called olibanum) is one particular resin, tappedfrom Boswellia sacra trees in Oman, Yemen and parts of the Horn ofAfrica. Etymology you can play with: “frankincense” comes from Old French“franc encens” – high quality or “pure” incense – while “incense” itselfgoes back to Latin for “to burn.” When a perfume lists “incense” as a note, it may mean a full accord ofresins (frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, labdanum, elemi, woods,flowers) or a composition that highlights frankincense alone.What incense actually smells like Frankincense: resinous yet airy; earthy, piney, slightly smoky with asurprising citrus brightness. Myrrh: darker, spicier, slightly medicinal and very “churchy”, oftenassociated with ritual and antiquity. Opoponax: honeyed, vanillic, balsamic and comforting – it softens theharsher edges of smoke. Labdanum: rich, ambery, leathery and almost animalic; gives incenseperfumes that plush, warm body. Elemi: sharp, lemony, peppery resin that brings sparkle and lift to thesmoke. Woods (sandalwood, cedar etc.): add dryness, creaminess orpencilshaving smokiness and form the backbone of many incenseheavyfragrances.Quotes from perfumers: Francis Kurkdjian on why he loves Japanese incense at home: partlypracticality, because “it fills the room in five minutes, whereas candlestake ages.” Yasmin Sewell on the moodshift: “Where a candle may take twentyminutes to resonate in your space, when you light incense there is animmediate scent that fills the room.” Sewell again on why incense made more sense than candles for herbrand's next step: “I felt that incense really connected with our values,since it's been used in spiritual rituals for so long,” and “what I reallylove about incense is that it shifts the mood instantly.” Lyn Harris on her daily ritual: “It sets a spiritual tone to my day,” andincense is “an ethereal veil that lingers in the air.” She burns it in themorning to set her mood, sometimes midday to reinvigorate her senses,and even before bed so “there is a sensual haze passing over mynostrils before I sleep.” Chris Rusak on the psychology of burning it: incense is “a great vehiclefor empowerment or catharsis via controlled destruction” and “incenseuse is intentional. It requires fire or directed heat for full expression,which we must effect, contain, and control, in order to destroy it but notourselves.” How it's harvested: frankincense resin oozes from cuts in theBoswellia sacra tree and dries into golden “tears”, sometimes called“frankincense tears” or “olibanum tears”. The jinn love story: a girl from the jinn falls in love with a human boy –forbidden, of course. As punishment she's turned into a tree; her griefbecomes crystal tears that people burn on coal for healing smoke with abitter taste that mourns lost love. Ecology: frankincense forests in northern Ethiopia are under threat asthey're...

The season can pull you in twenty directions before breakfast. Sarah and Tanna break down simple, doable ways to bring yourself back into the moment: Tiny pauses throughout the day Box breathing (door closed, sanity restored) Micro-walks with fog, dogs, or both Single-tasking instead of multitasking yourself into a meltdown Checking your self-talk so you don't spiral before the stockings are even hung 2. Presence with Your People Connection doesn't require perfection, it just asks for attention. Putting your phone in another room (yes, away away) Eye contact that makes someone feel like the only person in the room Listening to understand rather than to fix The “comfort or solutions?” question that changes everything Meaningful rituals ~ snowy walks, board games, dinner-table conversations The magical Disney hug (you don't release until they do) 3. Presents That Create Presence Instead of “What do you want for Christmas?” try:“What memory do you want to make this Christmas?”The answers might surprise you. Ideas we explore: Tickets to concerts, plays, sports games, or local events Hikes, spa days, markets, cookie-baking, and other cozy rituals The “Yes Day” (with boundaries ~ we love our children… but let's be reasonable haha) Experience jars: 12 mini-dates, one per month Handwritten note jars with things you love about someone Outdoor adventures (even unconventional parking-lot tobogganing!) Activities that create joy, anticipation, and stories your family will tell for years The Heart of It All Gifts fade.Memories ripple.Presence ~ your real, grounded, intentional presence ~ is the gift that keeps giving long after the holidays end. We Want to Hear From You! Have you given an unforgettable experience gift?Do you have rituals that help you stay grounded this time of year?Tell us!Share inside the HRM community or send us a message.

Go down the box office charts for 1992, and you need to look a long way before you find The Muppet Christmas Carol. Directed by Brian Henson, the movie was in 45th place at the box office that year, with surprisingly few choosing to check it out on its initial cinema release. The film had come together following the death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, and there'd been some difficulty cracking what the next Muppet film should be. Even when they settled on an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, there were a few different choices that were nearly made. The story of the film is told in this episode...
