When we make soap we use sodium hydroxide (PH 13) and that is so alkaline that it has gone the other way and has the ability to burn you like acid while have the capacity to transform anything fat + water into cream. Think about it, calcium is around 11 PH and we take that regularly. Sadly without hardly knowing because if you eat any sort of processed food or fast food, you have consumed more than your fair share of the calcium carbonate. They dump it in everything here in the US, from cereals to juices, you name it! Some studies have linked calcium to hardening of the arteries and stones. Even wild animals like deer will not chew on a "salt lick" (a natural mineral deposit where animals in nutrient-poor ecosystems can obtain essential mineral nutrients)
The more I study, the more I find that your body's PH is essential to good health and the more I study I always come to the conclusion that your emotions produce more or less acid depending on if you are happy, sad, shocked, angry, in love, or sexually aroused.
Each one of those emotions are necessary for the development of new cells and stimulation of the brain.
That said how could we possibly not consider the next step, which is what kind of vibration does each wave of emotion cause on the body?
If our words have power, our thoughts are the creators and our bodies the transporters.
When we think about what we can "take" to decrease acid in our bodies, we should consider homeopathy and flower essences too.
Yes, you can't see it physically doing a big giant healing session, but you will feel better.
It works in secret, behind the scenes.
Right now I am taking Mimilus for fear and Vine for flexibility and leadership abilities.
I gratefully accept life's rewards and acknowledge all my talents. They are many:)
Thank you~

Patchouli Sage Goodness
Every once in while, you get the notion to review yourself by looking at others. For me lately it has been looking at other Libras and how they run their life.
Does Libra not complain, not ever, about how she or he is hurting?
They seem so stout most of the time that people assume they are fine, always. That is because they put up a good front and secretly wish some Capricorn type would take care of everything so they can do what they do best, which is languish.:)
Shakti
sage co2
2 patchoulis
drops of spike lavender
drops of rosemary verbenon
dalmation sage drops
adding to these
sandalwood
vetiver a drop or two
labdanum
ambergris
distilled lime for some acid
a few drops petitgrain
one drop tobacco
Thank you,
anastasia

Neptunian Vibes
I made soap by hand yesterday because my electrical stirring devise or soap wand as I call it, broke. Not really broken but is on perpetual high speed so foams up my soap batter.
I was able to gain a feel of the transition of the soap becoming soap again. "coming to trace is Zen"
A mutual soaper in Texas said that last night and it is true.
In the old days when I started making soap, I used a big wooden paddle. Stirring and stirring all day and in to nights.
My husband would prompt me for months to get some sort of machine to do it for us. I fought it tooth and nail because I said it would loose the "hand made" aspect of soap making.
Of course I caved in time.
The wand skips through all the waiting to give you creamy put together soap mix and when you are hand stirring it takes like 2 hours sometimes, before your soap "comes to trace".
Making soap is almost like making a good custard, one must aways keep an eye on the cream batter and continue stirring. This is the time you get to involve all the ingredients in the soap and evolve the ones in your head too because soap making is "alone time all the way". It gives me a chance to hone in on Sanskrit mantra words.
Gum~ to remove all obstacles:)
Here is what I am practicing right now;
'Om Trayumbakam Yajamahe Sughandhim Pushti
Vardanam Urvar-ukamiva Bandhanan
Mrityor Muksheeya Mamritat
Peppermint Vanilla Soap
32 ounces olive I have an unfiltered fresh green one from Italy
14 ounces organic extra virgin coconut oil with two vanilla pods finely scraped and chopped infused into oil for three days and the whole jar soaked in hot water 2 times a day to ensure saturation of the vanilla in to the coconut oil
I first blended the water phase with the olive oil and stirred that for one hour. Then, I slowly added the coconut vanilla mixture to the almost soaponafied olive oil.
It took another hour for these three ingredients to embrace one another. They did and when supper thick and creamy, I added the peppermint oil and stirred for 20 minutes.
What amazes me is that each batch has a life of its own. Every oil giving its own spectrum of colorful scent.
What color would you think patchouli would put out?
Purple?
Like a deep almost black green?
I ground up some dry patchouli and a bit of vanilla pod which I simply sprinkle on the soap before serving.
As I most impatiently wait to cut Peppermint Vanilla Soap, I Can already detect the sweet wafts of vanilla over peppermint's super intense coolness as if reflecting off of sapphire waterfalls.
Happiness
Thank you

Just settle down and have some patchouli soap
How are you anyhow Are you feeling the Uranus jump start?
I know, it is intense! Try not to rush into anything will you?
Everything is ok and you can have any control you want of any situation. Scorpio is really thriving right now and I must say Sag is really together too. Aries is changing in a big way and the way I see it is, you won't even recognize them in 7 years, so much lovely skill and talent.
Now me, I am Libra! Don't even ask. Things are wonderful and I am overloaded as usual. Working in retail is a challenge to my rustic sensibilities.
Other Librans may note a certain feeling of loneliness set on by Saturn right now but that too will pass. Hopefully we learn something good from all of Saturn's stern overload! Think about all the fun new people Uranus is going to bring and all the juicy new money Jupiter brings:) Plus, Libra, you kind of need to get out of your comfort zone sometimes and if you have made a mistake, move on honey and forgive yourself first. Capricorn too! Have some fun and enjoy your life girl!
Gemini is quietly scheming to actually rule the world by dancing.
Pisces is flying high and shining more than a rare green diamond for a distant watery planet.
Virgo, is it me or are you kind of moody lately!
Remember that moods are like vampire energy and your itinerary isn't the only thing.
Taurus has many surprises in store and Cancer has some too. Try to take things in stride and be happy with what you already are.
Leo, as usual, things are easy for you. I want to be on your team. I love working with Leo people!

patchouli with a bit of this and that
pomegranate seeds with red clay and lemon oil

dark moon daze
maybe it is time to get a few things ready for the near future. Maybe we should rest, organize, and prepare all of our ideas and duties and do one thing at a time. Lets take the energy that Pisces brings and flourish in our endeavors:) Let'shave compassion ad forgiveness towards others and let's be loving.

the picture
the picture
I don't really know why I posted that picture. Probably because I may be still attached to my youth and fancy myself having resembled this girl.
Frankly the whole image makes me feel a little apprehensive about the big wave that is about to splash her all over the place. She will be fine. She will one day have reckoned with herself and totally have come to understand the universe within her. That family obligations and pride in country shouldn't be a complete guide on how she has run her life.
That social expectations have not always been in her radar, more likely, that she has continued to think and always know herself.
Who is she and more importantly what is she?
I am
Om
Aum
The new soaps on the menu will be so fun you are not going to believe it.
I am inspired by two things in March. Astro Vibes and Soapmaking, my two favorite things ever!
~Solar Flare Soap
One~ The Sun and all the huge solar flairs that have spewed out have had me talking and once again my sweet Tonie (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LindenGlitter) chanted some names of oils and as I want to please her in every way. I love her~ In the good way and not in the attached sort of way. (smiling)
Here is the recipe:
16 ounces organic cold pressed coconut oil
32 ounces extra virgin Greek olive oil from ripe Calamata olives
5 ml organic cinnamon leaf
15ml peppermint oil
30 ml blood orange oil
red swirls or vibrant red made with sweet paprika and a wee bit of red clay
Mirror of Isis Black Soap with Myrrh and Rose
Shea Butter based
16 ounces shea butter
16 ounces extra virgin Greek Calamata olive oil
16 ounces organic coconut oil
activated charcoal
organic propolis
pure essential oils
Nighty Night Soap
roman chamomile
marjoram
90% organic olive oil
organic coconut oil
As we approach the dark moon, let's ponder on the seeds we are now planting. We know it is good, and we know we have worked hard. We have shed tears and fears and now we are washed free of old constraints. We have no enemy, we are friend to all, we are charming and magnetic.
the energy is all water
(sun, mercury, mars, uranus, chiron all in Pisces)
New Moon on Friday
I like this:)
Have a beautiful sunny day;)
