DIY distillers and where to buy home distilling equipment

 Have you ever wanted to distill your own essential oils instead of spending loads of $$ on buying them? Especially when some are diluted and therapeutically speaking, not worth the price.

Yes, there are reputable companies out there who consistently offer top of the line essential oils, but their prices reflect this and wouldn’t it be great to know exactly where that essential oil you’re using comes from?
By home distillation, you can control exactly how the plants/flowers/etc. are grown, tended and what products are used or not used in their raising. (i.e. pesticides, herbicides, etc.)

separating can where final oil separation and capture happens

Spring Meditation

After completing  Oprah and Depok Chopra's 21-Day Meditation Challenge, a certain quote stood out in my mind's eye and has stayed with me ever since.

"It's been said in many healing traditions that the perfect medicine is often blooming right outside our front door. Everyday nature offers us its healing bounty, creating balance and cultivating greater harmony in our world. " -Oprah & Depok Chopra

That snippet of their quote reverberated inside me, and echoes of the message still ring true. It even inspired a bit of poetry.

HERE'S AN EASY 20 MINUTE SKIN CARE ROUTINE

(1). Cleanse face with gentle cleanser to suit skin type, using a cotton ball or a washcloth.

(2). Steam face with head over bowl of steaming hot water for 2 minutes.

(3). Apply moisturizing, purifying face mask.

(4). Bath or shower with a few drops of relaxing essential oil
or invigorating oil in the water. You may also put used herbal tea bags, or cucumber or potato slices over your eyes to remove the bagginess around the eyes. Relax totally for 10 minutes.

(5). Pat body dry with thick warm towels. Apply body lotion all over while skin is still moist. Take special care of feet, knees, elbows, and neck.

(6). Remove mask with warm water and spray or splash face with mineral water.

(7). Apply eye-soothing gel (if you are going out) or night eye cream (if you are going to bed) around eyes and on lids.

(8). Apply moisturizer to face if going out, or your favourite night cream/oil if not.

(9). Apply hand cream and a nail cream around cuticles

Basic Skin Care

A daily routine of skin care requires no more than ten minutes and requires only three simple steps each evening and morning:

(1). Cleanse

(2). Tone

(3). Moisturize

Night care

(1). Cleanse: Remove any makeup with cleansing cream or a natural makeup remover. Wash with mild soap or other cleanser, rinse, and pat dry.

(2). Ton: Apply an acid-containing solution to restore the pH balance and protective shield. For dry skin, use a mild freshener-toner. For oily skin, use an astringent preparation.

(3). Moisturize. Splash on cool water or mist with a spray bottle. Blot, but do not dry completely-moisturizer magic relies more on retaining moisture than in providing it-then smooth on a few drops of your moisturizer.

Day care

(1). Cleanse lightly to remove night time accumulations, refresh your face with a few splashes of water, and pat dry.

(2). Tone by applying a freshener or astringent.

(3). Moisturize around your eyes. If your face is excessively dry, mist or splash with water, blot, and then lightly cover with moisturizer.

A MOST BLESSED "SAINT^MICHAEL THE ARCH^ANGEL DAY" TO YOU MY DEAR FRIENDS...

A MOST BLESSED "SAINT^MICHAEL THE ARCH^ANGEL DAY" TO YOU MY DEAR FRIENDS...

(Saint^Michael Celebration Website: http://1800sunstar.com/zzC1LUV/zholydays/saints-angels/00-st.michaels-day.html#directory )
Light a Candle and say the ARCH^ANGEL MICHAEL PRAYER with me today:
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host
by the Divine Power of God
cast into hell,
satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world
seeking the ruin of souls
Amen...

Please consider sharing this message with others...
May God Bless You, each and everyone...
Michael AngelOh

Generally speaking, a consensus of the definition of Saints is, "People who, by their joyful service, have extended the Love of God to others..." The celebration of "Saint Michael the ArchAngel Day" and all the Angels known throughout the world is "celebrated as Michaelmas" and ties in directly with last weeks Autumnal Equinox celebration for in olden times the great season of harvesting one's crops had to be completed by the date of the Michaelmas or the last Sunday in September so that a new cycle of planting and farming could begin. In the present day this is considered to be a fine time for clearing the slate and planting the seeds for new beginnings and fresh new journeys.

Archangel Michael whose name in ancient scripts means; "Who is like unto God..." is most often thought of as the mighty Angelic Warrior who drove the rebellious fallen Angel "Lucifer" from the kingdom of Heavenly paradise. Throughout history Michael has always been the most venerated and popular of the three Archangels mentioned in the scriptures. The other two being "Archangel Rafael" and "Archangel Gabriel". It is the "Archangel Michael" who is described as the embodyment of Love, Compassion and Divine Enlightenment in all of the recorded writings.

Throughout European countries many monasteries and churches are dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael and are usually located in high places near the ocean. Saint Michael's feast day was celebrated with the tradition of baking special large loaves of bread made, offered up and eaten only on the "Michaelmas feastday". From the earliest centuries it had been a favorite practice in many communities to build Saint Michael shrines on the tops of mountains and hills. Archangel Michael is most commonly invoked as the protector of the innocent as well as a mediator for the dying and is the presenter of souls to God at their entrance into Heaven. Archangel Michael is therefore honored as the actual patron of all the holy Souls. In many sections of Europe and England, wine consumed on this day was called; "Saint Michael's Love" and this ancient ritual is preserved even to the present day.

Archangel Michael and all patron Saints and Angels serve to eliminate the negativity and confusion that is often referred to as "the dark night of the Soul," as they are called upon to bring the comfort of lasting Peace and eternal Love to the sincere petitioner. The raising of Spiritual Awareness and the unfolding of Divine Wisdom beckons to each human heart to Love unconditionally and aide in the relief of sorrow and suffering wherever it is found. This is the relentless call which comes unceasingly forward from within the realms of all the Angels and Saints.

why grandmas are so smart!

Why Grandmas Are Smart:

I was out walking with my grandson. He picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.

"Why" my grandson asked.

"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.

At this point, my grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart."

I was thinking quickly and said to him. "All grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a grandma."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.

"Oh....I get it! He beamed, So if you don't pass the test you have to be the grandpa."

"Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.

When you're finished laughing, send this to another grandma.

depression hurts and I doubt cymbalta can help LOL

depression hurts..... (and I doubt cymbalta can help LOL)

i feel anxious sad confused irrational lonely - even tho’ i live with the man i love-
i feel overwhelmed with emotion and can’t make up my mind about what to do about it

mostly, i’m worried that i’ll never be what god intended me to be - and i fight this every day

am i sad about life in general ? yes, but not every single day....sometimes i have sparks of hope -for humanity, for our world, for what we’ve become, for what we could be, for what i dream life could be....for my part in making the world a better place....
am i sad about what my life has become? yes, because i can’t even answer that truthfully, i don’t know what I’m supposed to be, and time is slipping away faster everyday...
what has my life become? i don’t even know........
i don’t know what i’m doing, or where i’m going in my life--and i feel i’m wasting what precious little time i have...

we are only here for a moment in the scheme of it all

and i get even more depressed thinking about what i should be doing instead of actually doing something about it
and getting more confused about it the longer i dwell on it
does anyone else feel this way?

are we all just wandering around in the dark -yearning for a ray of light- hoping that god will come and save us from this dismal truth? but is that really the truth? what is the truth, really?
do we even know?

i look out my window and see nothing but beauty.....
butterflies, birds, trees, sun shining, flowers ...all to his beauty and still i do not feel happy
how could that be?
i am so blessed to have this beauty around me, a place to live, food to eat, a man that loves me with all his heart....and yet, i still feel this emptiness.....
begging god to give me relief from myself

i am my own worst enemy

How to Make a Natural Travel Kit with Essential Oils

Plus Recipes For; Sunburn Relief Spray, Jet Lag, Migraines, Stress Headaches, Nausea, Travel Sickness, Queasiness, Fear of Flying, and Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis

Candice L. Collins, Yahoo! Contributor Network

Aromatherapy can be a very helpful companion when embarking upon a long journey, or even just a short trip, and may even effectively replace some other traditional medicines for those that are looking for a natural  alternative. While traveling may be a part of our work and our play, for those that suffer from travel-troubles it can be a nightmare. If you suffer from travel sickness, headaches or migraines, queasiness, fear of flying, jet lag, insect bites and sun burns, here you will find essential oil remedies to help with those maladies. I've also included a recipe for a massage blend to keep deep vein thrombosis at bay, as well.

Important Notes for Using Essential Oils; Dilutions and Usage of Essential Oils:
Always dilute essential oils, as they are very potent and too concentrated to use undiluted on the skin. To use essential oils in a massage, use the following dilutions:
For most people ages 12-65 add no more than 20 drops of your chosen essential oil(s) per ounce of carrier oils. For those aged 4-6 or those over age 65, do not use more than 10 drops per ounce of carrier, and those aged 1-4, no more than 5 drops per ounce of carrier. For pregnant women or babies, only minute quantities of essential oils should be used. For instance, only 1-4 drops of essential oils should be used per ounce of carrier. And remember that only Tea Tree, Lavender, Roman Chamomile 3%, Dill, and Mandarin (be careful of phototoxicity with citrus oils), as well as Eucalyptus Smithii (the mildest of all the Eucalyptus') are safe for children and the elderly, and are the only essential oils that should be used on pregnant women, or children under 4 years old.
