The Magi brought gifts to the Christ child of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

None of us have any difficulty understanding why gold would be a great gift but what about that frankincense and myrrh.

While getting started on my Spiritual path I learned the importance of starting my day with an exercise to get me grounded and another to get me brain balanced.

Grounding helps me to run off my stress, hold my ground through challenges and look at things more objectively instead of emotionally. It helps to give me a bigger energy field. This is helpful since, my teacher claims, the person with the biggest energy field always wins and we all want to be winners.

Brain balancing gives me the benefit of looking at things from both the masculine and the feminine side with both knowledge and wisdom and seeing both the whole and the parts of an issue. This is a great benefit for my decision-making. In addition, with a regular practice of brain balancing, I have the additional assistance of spiritual guidance.

So what do these two exercised have to do with the Magi’s gifts? Frankincense assists with grounding and myrrh assists with brain balancing. When applied to the skin in the form of essential oils, the person cannot help but get some grounding and brain balancing.

How about if you gift yourself with some of the Magi’s gifts of frankincense and myrrh and perhaps the gold will soon follow.
