Frankincense & Emotions from Eryn Jones

Frankincense is helpful for releasing feelings of anger, entanglement, and abandonment. This sentiment in feeling form can mean you fell so dependent on or entangled with someone else's opinion or thoughts about you that anything they do makes you angry and triggered. In Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, Dr. Mein says that the alarm point for this is the "ego-point", which is the center of your chest.

If a particular relationship is extra hard, the way out of it is to Surrender and Detach, standing your own power and security. Frankincense can help you get there.

Here's how to use it for releasing stuck emotions related to this:
  • Rub Frankincense over the center of the chest whenever you feel that deep, angry feeling, or when you chest hurts from emotional struggles.
  • Say statement like "I am grounded" or "I stand in my power".
  • Inhale Frankincense until you feel something shift and that burden in your chest gets lighter.
