Anointing with Oil

Anointing with Oil

Across cultures and centuries, aromatic oils have accompanied the time of prayer, meditation, ceremony, and personal reflection. Anointing is a simple act of intention. A small amount of oil is applied as someone enters a sacred practice, marks a transition, offers a blessing, or offers a prayer for healing.

Anointing is personal and may be shaped by your faith, tradition, or individual practice. The oil does not replace prayer, meditation, or intention. Instead, the aroma and intentional act of anointing can serve as a catalyst for meaningful focus.

Imani Three Kings Formula brings together Frankincense, Myrrh, and Sandalwood, three aromatic materials with long histories of use in sacred fragrance and anointing rituals. Their warm, resinous, and wood-toned character creates a contemplative blend prepared for anointing and other intentional practices.

Use Three Kings Formula before prayer or meditation, when beginning or closing a meaningful practice, or during moments set aside for reflection and renewal. A small amount of the oil can be applied to the forehead by oneself during a time of meditation. It can also be applied by another, whom you trust, to accentuate the purpose and meaning of this time.
