Podcasts about Frankincense

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back naturopathic physician Dr. Lexi Loch from Terry Naturally to uncover two of the most powerful herbs in natural medicine: Boswellia and Curcumin (from Turmeric). While many are familiar with turmeric for inflammation, few realize that Boswellia (also known as frankincense) targets a completely different inflammatory pathway—one that traditional NSAIDs and pain relievers don't touch. Together, these herbs form a potent, well-researched duo for addressing pain and inflammation in the gut, joints, lungs, and beyond. You'll learn about the unique pathway that Boswellia modulates, the advantages of this unique curcumin extract over conventional turmeric extracts, and how combining the two offers faster and longer-lasting support. Whether you're struggling with IBS, asthma, joint pain, or simply want to manage everyday inflammation more naturally, this episode provides evidence-based insight and practical guidance you can trust.Products:Terry Naturally Boswellia & Curcumin ProductsAdditional Information:#524: Maximum Absorption of Nutrients for Energy, Pain, Immune, and Respiratory Challenges with Dr. Lexi LochVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In this episode, Meg and Heather discuss the ultra relaxing "king of oils" - Frankincense. DoTERRA packages it in many forms - a 15 ml essential oil bottle, a roller bottle, capsules, and now a stick. Meg also found a diffuser blend called "Enough for Everyone" dealing with money, abundance, and wealth. You'll need to listen for the recipe - but it uses some foundational oils and frankincense.

Welcome back to another episode of Essential Aromatica! This episode is a bit different—I'm taking a moment to say hello again, reconnect with you, and reflect on why I started this podcast in the first place. From gaps created by the pandemic to a deep desire to share knowledge and cultivate connection, this podcast has been a personal project of passion and purpose.I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Reverend Ben DeHart, a guide in my foray into podcasting, co-host of Our Triune Pod, and someone whose encouragement made all the difference.This episode is an opportunity to revisit the core reasons behind Essential Aromatica:Rebuilding connection through shared passion – The aromatherapy school I taught at shut down soon after the pandemic started, I felt the loss deeply. My podcast became a way to continue sharing, to reach others, and to keep inspiring—even without an in-person classroom.Connection to nature – A personal story on how aromatherapy became my path.Making aromatherapy accessible – It's about connecting with nature, plants, everything that is bigger than and includes us. (Go for a walk outside!!!!)Along the way, I'll share insights from my newly published article on Rhododendron anthopogon, a gem of an essential oil I've come to think of as Nepal's Frankincense. Its ability to bring clarity, lightheartedness, and mental stillness makes it invaluable when we seek lucidity amidst overwhelm.Plus, in the spirit of balancing bitterness and sweetness, I have to bring up Hecate, a guide through liminal spaces, and introduce Lilith into the mix. These gloriously “dark” archetypes are juxtaposed against Jasmine and Yuliana Kireyeva's mesmerizing olfactory sound composition.

Ever notice how everyone picks the same predictable words for their New Year - peace, joy, freedom? What if your 2025 word of the year could be something totally unexpected that lights up everyone's face when you share it?   2025: The Year of Captivation Yep, that's MY word this year.   2025 is not just another year—it's the year of captivation for me. In the past, my time has been driven by business goals, from client acquisition to serving a growing audience predominantly of mothers. This year, however, my focus is on discovering and pursuing what truly captivates me—my word of the year.   ---   **Captivation: Inspired by Family and Stories**   Reflecting on memorable moments of captivation, I am reminded of summers spent with my grandmothers in Miami and Puerto Rico. My Cuban grandmother and her family were expert storytellers, captivating me with tales from their lives and adventures. These moments instilled in me a love for storytelling and a fascination with human expression.   ---   **Choosing a Word of the Year: A Journey of Self-Discovery**   I invite you to join me on this journey of selecting a word of the year—a concept popularized by Danielle Laporte in her work on desire mapping. Find a word that resonates deeply, one that isn't commonly chosen but is authentic to the sensation you aim to experience. Whether it's a bold choice like "captivating" or something uniquely personal, let it guide your experiences and interactions.   ---   **Practice Captivation in Everyday Life**   Achieving a sense of captivation doesn't necessarily require grand gestures; it can be found in simple, everyday experiences. Whether it's listening intently to your child's story or discovering a new passion, these moments hold the potential to enrich our lives profoundly.   ---   **Conclusion: A Year of Unforeseen Opportunities**   As we traverse 2025, I aim to provide you with content that not only captivates but also adds value to your life. This year will be marked by transformative changes in how I approach my business and personal life, integrating my newly acquired skills as a meditation practitioner.   Let's explore how we can make this year uniquely ours. I encourage you, my listeners, to think expansively, embrace words that are different, and stand unafraid in your journey.   Happy New Year! While we're at it, why not make it official? Subscribe or follow the Mom Founder Imagination Hub podcast, and feel free to send me a note afterwards so I can thank you—seriously, feel encouraged to email me melissa.llarena (at) gmail.com.

Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours.” —MAUREEN TURNER CAREY, librarian in Austin, TX TRANSCRIPT   Welcome to 2025. It is Melissa, your host of the Mom Founder Imagination Hub podcast.  Wow, like what was that? Seriously, it's so funny. I just returned from a trip to the colonies, as I like to refer the states that I have a lot of family in. So we went to New York, we went to New Jersey and we went to Connecticut. Yeah. And I will say that the experience was a bit of a whirlwind, but it ended with just like feeling really, really sick. And so I'm on the mend, definitely feeling very, very. alive and excited and pumped about 2025. This morning, I already went to the gym. I did my 10, 000 steps, went to the groceries, did some laundry part two. I mean, it's been a productive set of hours on this feast of the epiphany Three Wise Men Day. I even put incense with the scent of myrrh for the occasion of the Three Wise Men. You remember? What did they give baby Jesus? Frankincense, myrrh, and gold. So I would say, you know, it's been a really interesting start to the new year.  And in this unedited episode, you thoroughly hear that I still have the remnants of a, a bad set of bacteria, virus,  But notwithstanding, I feel good. I feel good about 2025. And the reason why I do is because it's going to be different than years past. Years past have been really dictated by business initiatives, figuring out what needs to happen in order to bring in new clients, in order to better serve, You know, a brand new target audience being you a mom and also, you know, just a lot of novelty when it comes to the different ways that people approach, you know, lead generation and all that businessy stuff. And so this year is going to be a little bit different.  It's really going to be about figuring out what.  exactly captivates me. That is the word for me of 2025. And as I tell individuals, my word, I am met with this whole idea of, wow, that's crazy, but like in a good way, because it's definitely a very high vibe word, captivating, captivate to captivate.  I put a lot of thought into it.  And just to kind of share a story of those moments when I have been the most captivated, I remember every single summer I would spend a month in Miami and a month in Puerto Rico with my respective grandmothers. And my Cuban grandmother on one hand was A really good storyteller, as was my entire family from a paternal perspective. And I would say that they really got into storytelling. So let's imagine they got home from work and they all worked in the police department and they had these amazing stories. Whether it was, you know, about criminals or if it was about, I don't even know, a salsero that they would have invited to like a Christmas party. I mean, a lot of my memories are a little bit of a Patchwork quilt, should I say?  Point of the matter, they would use their body to really express themselves. They would stand up in the middle of the living room to absolutely, you know, be on stage, quote unquote.  And I felt captivated,  completely engrossed in what they were saying. And I'm pretty sure I had no idea what they were really, really saying. Because I was a little girl, but I was always really intrigued by the way they express themselves and the stories they would tell. And that's why for me, that is the word that popped up, captivating to captivate. And when I started looking up what it meant, it also had this idea that there has to be a willingness.  be captivated. So as I think through this word of the year for myself, I invite you to think beyond some of the words that are in the atmosphere in your local area. Or wherever it is that you might reside. So, for example, if in your community you might hear words like, Oh, freedom, or peace, or contentment, or words like joy. Why not consider a word like, that is totally left field, but really nails the sensation you're going for. And then in the same way that the person who wrote this book about desire mapping, Danielle Laporte says, she basically said, you know, once you have your word or set of words, it's really about figuring out. a myriad of ways that you can feel that sensation. So if I want to feel engrossed, plugged in or captivated, it's not just like going to great adventure and, you know, going on a roller coaster and maybe I am totally captivated by an amazing ride. It can be something as so simple, so sweet as paying close attention to a little story that a son of mine has, you know, whether it was something that he caught in school or something that he just wants to share with me or retell from a story he has read. So for me, captivating has range. What about you? I would invite you to really think through.  what you desire to feel in 2025. For me, as I mentioned, it was being captivated or captivating or captivate people. Because again, if you want a certain feeling, it really behooves you to emit that feeling yourself. So that also implies I have to be captivating. And So there we go. So for you really think that through, think through right now, maybe write it down at some point, a couple of words that really, really ignite something inside of you, something that might be, um, a little sleepy right now. It might be a little bit kind of, you know, not used. Just think of a word that you want to draw attention to in your life. And funny enough, When I chose that word, which is not the most common word I've seen, I started, of course, seeing that word, which has an actual scientific principle attached to it. Kind of like when you buy a particular car, you start to notice all those cars. So,  Happy New Year. I'm thrilled that this podcast lives on. I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to share with you my 2025 word, and I really endeavor to captivate you, captivate you in a way that makes you feel better. After listening to every single episode, and I really do invite you and hope that you can be very patient with me because this is a year of change when it comes to the way I go about, you know, sharing my gifts and talents. This is also going to be a year of change in terms of how I think about my business and my role and how I decide to you. You know, bring forth everything that I've learned, even new things. I just became a meditation practitioner. It's like official now I'm done with the program. So there'll be a lot of unexpected conversations, but also my ambition is really to make sure that you get value out of each and every single one of them. So in this one, I invite you to think about a word of the year, and I invite you to definitely consider how you might make it. different or set yourself apart from those that are in your area. It might really inspire other people to think more expansively about their own lives and their own experiences. Because every single person I've told this word to, captivating and captivated, like, It just brought a huge smile on their face and they really loved that word. They're like, I have never heard someone use that word in terms of the word of the year for them. And of course I say, I know you haven't because I really like using words that are different. That captivates me, right? It holds my interest. being a little different and, um, unexpected and be unafraid to do either. Okay. Happy new year until next Tuesday. And if we are not official yet, like if you haven't hit follow or subscribe, I invite you to go ahead and do that. Go ahead and do that. And if you want to send me a little note, I will put it in the show notes. Tell me that you actually subscribed or followed me. And.

“The Nabateans are a silent partner in everything that goes on in the high summer of the Ancient period” - Bettany Hughes By the time of Jesus' birth, a mysterious empire had built its wealth through trading two of the gifts present at the Nativity: frankincense and myrrh. Aromatic crystals harvested from the sap of gnarled trees, frankincense and myrrh were highly desirable commodities known as the tears or the breath of the gods. Based along the coast of the Red Sea, the nomadic Nabatean people were engineers, mariners and savvy traders, and they cleverly placed themselves as the middlemen in the trade of this incense. The Nabateans gave the world Arabic, and had a kingdom that even Alexander the Great could not siege - so why do so many of us know nothing about them? Listen as Anita and William are joined by Bettany Hughes to discuss how the Christmas gifts of frankincense and myrrh powered a mysterious and innovative kingdom… Twitter: @Empirepoduk Email: empirepoduk@gmail.com Goalhangerpodcasts.com Assistant Producers: Anouska Lewis & Evan Green Producer: Callum Hill Exec Producer: Neil Fearn Learn more about your ad choices.

New Era: Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh

In this week's episode, we conclude our three part series on the heart and  Pope Francis' recent encyclical Dilexit Nos. We reflect on Scripture as a personal love story, how it speaks to our areas of weakness, and the awesome reality of Jesus desiring to love and heal us there. The Lord meets us where we are and He is always seeking to bring our hearts closer to His. He speaks directly to each one of us with an invitation to be loved and to love. This invitation of love requires a response not only in big moments but in the ordinary moments of each day. Heather's One Thing - Her friends Laura and Brandon Sister Miriam's One Thing - Farkle Classic Dice Game Michelle's One Thing -  Nazareth Organics (especially the Sleep Balm) Michelle's Other One Thing - The Florida State vs UNC game   Other Resources Mentioned:  “Dilexit Nos”: A brief guide for busy readers Dilexit Nos audio version   Journal Questions: How do I experience spiritual amnesia and forget the ways the Lord loves me? When have I experienced the tender love of the Lord in places of poverty and isolation in my heart? Where in my life do I need to hear the sweet sound of the Lord's heartbeats? What does Jesus want to convey to me through that sound? What parts of Christ's Body, the Church, do I fail to love?   Discussion Questions: How has the Lord being present to your heart brought you healing and communion? How has the barrage of tragedy and hardship from the news and social media hardened your heart toward human suffering? Where are the lukewarm places of your heart? What conversations can you have, actions can you take, or apologies can you make to love your neighbor like Christ?   Quotes to Ponder: The pierced heart of Christ embodies all God's declarations of love present in the Scriptures. That love is no mere matter of words; rather, the open side of his Son is a source of life for those whom he loves, the fount that quenches the thirst of his people. (Pope Francis, “Dilexit Nos”, Paragraph 101) Saint Augustine opened the way to devotion to the Sacred Heart as the locus of our personal encounter with the Lord. For Augustine, Christ's wounded side is not only the source of grace and the sacraments, but also the symbol of our intimate union with Christ, the setting of an encounter of love. There we find the source of the most precious wisdom of all, which is knowledge of him. In effect, Augustine writes that John, the beloved disciple, reclining on Jesus' bosom at the Last Supper, drew near to the secret place of wisdom. (Pope Francis, “Dilexit Nos”, Paragraph 103)   Scripture for Lectio:  “I led them with cords of human kindness, with bands of love. I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them.” (Hosea 11:4)   Sponsor - Leanne Bowen: Today's sponsor is Leanne Bowen Fine Art. We love her prints and her candles.
