Dry Brushing for the Lymph System with Essential Oils
Dry Brushing for the Lymph System with Essential Oils

Several essential oils show promise in preventing or reversing imbalances that accumulate in adipose and lymph tissue. Grapefruit, frankincense, cypress, and rose otto oils contain abundant amounts of monoterpenes, a class of botanical chemicals.Breasts contain an abundance of lymph vessels that support the circulatory system in maintaining proper fluid balance. The health of our lymphatic systems is intimately connected to our breast health. Lymphatic flow can be obstructed by tight bras, poor posture, lack of exercise, shallow breathing, and tight neck, shoulder, chest and back muscles……More  (To view in our Canada Store click here.)

Cells in our breasts can regenerate.
Breast massage with specific botanical oils is a simple step to keep our breasts healthy. The skin on the chest is thin and breast tissue contains a great deal of fat, which readily absorbs the protective blessings of lipophilic essential oils and infused-herbal oils. Working synergistically, these botanicals may prevent and reverse cysts, rejuvenate cells, and increase immune cell activity….More  (To view in our Canada Storeclick here)

A positive surprise
At first the smell didn´t strike me as appealing but after using it for the first time something happened. Now I find the smell so grounding and foresty. I really love the smell now. I think every woman needs this on their nightstand to have a daily ritual to give her breasts some love and attention, if only for acouple of minutes. I´ve seen great results with breast massage  
Amazing!

“This breast oil is amazing! Just like everything else I have tried from living libations :-) I rub this on my breasts a couple times a week and every time I do it, I smell so good and I feel so good. I feel like my breasts are really benefiting from the oils in this product and I love the mission behind it. Thanks, Nadine, for everything you do!”

Amazing Difference
“I’d like to make a long overdue comment on Nadine Artemis’ wonderful creation, Breast Massage Oil. I first tried this product in March 2013, just after it became available. The first thing I noticed was the wonderful fragrance, but moreover is how soft it makes my hands feel just after using it. The palms of my hands so incredibly soft and smooth, as is the skin on my breasts. I have large breasts and unfortunately I also have stretch marks. Not just from the large breasts themselves but also from how large they became while breastfeeding. The stretch marks started to resemble scars in the way that the skin became raised, keiloiding, had occurred. After approximately 6 months of using the Breast Massage Oil I realized something was changing. I’m not really sure what this beautifully fragrant oil does to the tissues inside my breasts, but I can tell you that the skin surface itself has improved. The most amazing difference is that the raised area for the stretch marks that seemed to keloid has shown reduction, and do not rise above the skin. There are still some white lines but not scar tissue like anymore! I love this oil and use it every morning after showering!” 
Living Libations’ Lymph+Tonic is an undiluted blend of circulation-enhancing essential oils that effectively generate lymphatic flow throughout the body. Used on its own or in combination with dry brushing, Lymph + Tonic helps the rivers of the lymphatic system flow fluidly and function at optimum levels.

I just started using this and it makes dry brushing so much more effective.  It brings all the blood to the surface and you can feel the lymph moving….I feel like my whole body glows after using this!

Great with massage
I use with dry brushing but also after a shower I mix 3 drops in some cocanut oil or other favorite creams and enjoy a full body massage-it’s good for you all over especially the lymph nodes

my face is glowing

Received my items in the mail and I was so excited!! Thanks for sending it so quick! Cell serum is a new product for me and after using it tonight my face is glowing and my love commented that I looked lovely without my makeup and smelled divine!!!! Thanks for creating such beautiful products!

Delicious Nectar!

The best product that LL makes. This serum smells fantastic, awakens the senses, brightens my skin and gives me a rosy glow immediately. I like to exfoliate my face with baking soda then apply this serum. It softens lines and plumps my skin. The Cinnamon gives a pop and a tingle to my face, a great wake up in the morning! I also like to apply this after a day outside in the sun, it gives my skin a drink and instantly makes sun kissed skin seem less thirsty. The serum goes on dry and does not leave an oily touch. Feels very nutritional. The best ever!

Glowing Happy Skin!
The cell serum has really impressed me! I am 24 and have been converting to only natural and safe products on my skin for the past 5 years. This is one of my favorites by far! I used to use a $170 bottle of skinceuticals vitamin c serum (for extra protection) but switched to the cell serum and am thrilled with this decision!! My skin glows more than ever before and drank this up immediately. Skin feels so soft and this also brightens the skin. Smells DELICIOUS and fresh. Skin may get a little pink when first absorbing because the ingredients are very warming, but you can feel it working into the skin. Beautifully made. You can mix a little with the Sea Buckthorn oil if desired. I wouldn’t go without this or the All Seeing Eye Cream! Both will enable you to wake up with a flawless glow. 
Our nourishing Night Nectar illuminates skin cells from the inside out. Infuse your skin with repairing botanicals while you dream of toning regeneration. Relax in slumber while this hard-working nectar takes the night shift!

For it is in the dew of little things that the skin finds its morning and is refreshed. Living Libations activating Night Nectar penetrates deeply into the dermis, illuminating skin cells from the inside out. Apply to fine lines, wrinkles, and any area of the skin that yearns for extra succulence…..More (To view in our Canada Store click here)

Beautiful Blend

I just received the large sized bottle of this after taking a gamble that it would be a great product just looking at the ingredients-it is even better than I expected.  I’ve tried Dew Dab and Zippity Dew Dab in my night routine in the past and benefitted from each but I love the addition of the Broccoli Seed oil which makes the consistency a bit thicker and easier to control coming out of the bottle. In one application my skin has a healthy glow and feels nicely moisturized. It has a lovely light smell-the chamomile and Frankincense really stand out. Delicious!

Love This Moisturizing “Nectar”
I mix this with the Rose Glow Serum at night and I love the way my skin glows after wards, it leaves my skin moisturized but not oily, Thank you for making such beautiful skin care products! 

Sunny floral-fruit cheer….. More (To view in our Canada Store click here)

Happy happy happy
Bergamot is one of my favorite oils. It is a total mood lifter. If I smell it deeply, it smells like Black Tea. I use bergamot if I am feeling sad, lethargic, irritated or angry. I don’t know how but somehow, it lifts all the bad moods away. It is a guaranteed happy maker.
Bergamot Butterfly
This essence carried me through visions of a butterfly in still flight in the center of my heart, effortlessly beating it’s wings in perfect rhythm with my original purpose.

Summer sky blue healing messenger to calm, counsel and align…….More (To view in our Canada Store click here.)

Magnificent
Nadine, the Yarrow is magnificent!  I can’t stop looking at it or dispersing it in bath salts ( so pretty ), room sprays and in jojoba!  It made a nice addition to my little gifts… And as a room spray in a clear glass bottle (with cape chamomile, benzoin, lemon, lavender and friends).

Deep, earthy, grounding
“This is my first oil from Living Libations and it smells so earthy and deep. I put a dab on each wrist in the morning and it grounds me all day! Definitely not for those wanting light, fresh, flowery. To me it smells a little rougher and tougher, which is a nice change!  I would say this could be just as nice on a man as on a woman.”
 

Our organic Roses Over Geranium Essential Oil combines the regulating effects of Rose Otto with the immune-boosting power of geraniums. Both oils contain potent skin healing properties, making this co-distillation a popular treatment for broken blood vessels, capillaries, varicose veins, spider veins,cellulite, acne, and oily skin.

Soul Seeing
Discovering True Selves

by Madisyn Taylor

The soul is the purest expression of an individual and is not bound by physical forms or fleeting emotions.

When we want to see deeply into the heart and mind of another person, soul seeing, also called soul gazing, allows us to see their soul. The soul is the purest expression of an individual and is not bound by physical forms or fleeting emotions. Through a simple art that involves looking deeply into a partner’s eyes, soul seeing can show you a person’s inner beauty that you might otherwise miss. It is possible for someone who appears cold to have a warm, giving, nurturing soul or someone of average appearance to have a beautiful soul. Soul seeing is a way of looking past shapes, sizes, attitudes, and behavior to see the real individual that lies beneath the surface. It allows you to see the true essence of another person, the radiance of their being, and their spirit within.

Soul seeing is accomplished by sitting face to face with another person. It is helpful to first state your intention before you begin. As you stare softly into each other’s eyes without stopping to look away, each of your souls is revealed to the other. Try not to look for anything in particular or seek traits you’re hoping to find. Simply let the other person’s soul reveal itself to you. After twenty minutes have passed, stay where you are and share a period of silent reflection with your partner for two minutes. You may have suddenly seen your partner’s inner nature as clearly as a bright day, or you may need to meditate on your experience before you feel comfortable with your impressions. Either way, soul seeing can be a wonderfully intimate and shared experience.

So little of who each of us is can be captured by our appearance or personality. The thoughts, fears, desires, and longings that are part of what makes us whole are not always written across our faces. Often, the most surprising thing you may learn while soul seeing is that while you and the other person may appear on the surface to be quite different, you actually share many of the same inner qualities. And then there is the unique beauty that resides within that is longing to be revealed to another who is willing to see. Soul seeing can help you experience the people in your life as they truly are, beyond any mental barriers or physical limitations.

SGC Admin: Two (Veterinarian) New links and connections added to our links and connections page:

SGC Admin: Recently we had to do one of the toughest things we have ever had to do… and that was putting our beloved furry family member Sky to sleep…

Sky was 18 years old and she had graced our home for 16 of those years… She was a beautiful long-haired grey cat who we “rescued” from an overly affectionate/zealous toddler… Sky was a one family cat… meaning, as is typical of some cats, she only loved her immediate family members, if you were a visitor to our home, you may not have seen her, or if you had, she may have hissed at you or just ignored you… Yet with us, we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and affectionate family member.. 

As Sky grew older, we began to see her health gradually getting worse… she began to pee outside of the litter box, (although she always tried to pee by it and not in odd places) towards the end we would place her in the box to go..she sat in odd places, didn’t want to sit on a lap, and wanted only her bed, … And finally she stopped eating… we have all been there with our fur babies… that point where we have to decide what is better for our loved one… we didn’t have a regular vet for sky, and we weren’t overly impressed with the last place we had taken her… And so when the time got closer, we began a search… a search for a caring veterinarian office, who hopefully wouldn’t charge too high a price for what was needed… 

We found two such caring veterinarians, one is a mobile veterinarian service the other is a veterinarian office who also offers mobile services.

The one we ended up using was the veterinarian office, because that’s who was available for the time we needed… The procedure was explained to us gently, we were encouraged to be with Sky at the end … and we felt comfortable enough with all of the staff to allow our tears to flow freely…. We opted to bring Sky home, and she was lovingly placed in her box by the staff, who had placed her curled up just like she was sleeping… 

Amanda from the mobile service, was so compassionate in her emails to us that we know, had we used her services she would have been just as caring and kind. 

In Sky’s memory we are happy to share the following contact information with you...

Creating a Serene Home
An Invitation to Comfort

by Madisyn Taylor

Happy home Stock Vector - 35532575

Include all 5 senses while making a home, doing so provides safe haven for your evolving body and soul.


Your home is your oasis. Through your efforts, your house or apartment can become both a private sanctuary and a welcoming, serene, and healthy place to live in and visit. An organized and comfortable home can have a calming effect on you, your family, and guests, as well as be your personal escape from the rest of the world. Creating this nurturing space isn’t difficult. Even a household that includes young children or multiple animals can be a serene and peaceful place. In just a few minutes, you can make a number of changes that can turn your home into a safe and comfortable haven that you can be proud to share with your loved ones and friends.

One way to fill your house or apartment with calming energy is to imbue it with a peaceful ambiance that nurtures all five senses. Soft lighting and soothing colors like blue, purple, and green can make a space feel warm and inviting, while pleasant and calming aromas such as lavender and vanilla can positively affect moods. Peaceful sounds, such as running water in a fountain or gentle chimes can uplift and clear the space, while clearing clutter and making the most of open space can ease internal turmoil and dispel negative feelings. The physical objects in your home as well as your home itself can retain the energy of previous owners or creators. You can give your household’s energy a lift by visualizing white light surrounding our home, symbolically sweeping out residual energy, or smudging your home with cleansing sage.

The changes you make to your home can be as unique as you are and may involve utilization of space, lighting, new furniture, decorating, feng shui, or ritual. But what you do is not as important as being clear in your intention to set up your household as a soothing and refreshing place to be. Make your home a place of comfort, and you will feel nurtured and cared for whenever you are there.
