Soliflore Parfums for Spring that are new and coming soon:
Magnolia Flower This one is such a delicious surprise. Fruity and soft, floral that is entirely earthy and smells like spring. Jonquil Narcissus blooming now in the gardens is a very earthy spring scent all its' own. Scent memories! Rhododendron Leaf This round heart centered scent is one many have not experuenced Here is some intel directly from Web MD about Rose Geranium.
"Rose geranium oil is extracted from the leaves and stem of the rose geranium plant. Some people take rose geranium oil for nerve pain (neuropathy) and for diarrhea. It is also applied directly to the skin for nerve pain, especially pain following shingles. Some people also use it topically as an astringent to tighten skin. Rose geranium oil is sometimes listed on the label of supplements promoted for weight loss, athletic performance, and body building. That’s because supplement manufacturers claim that rose geranium oil contains small amounts of a stimulant drug called dimethylamylamine. However, laboratory analysis shows that this drug probably does not come from rose geranium oil. It is thought that these manufacturers have artificially added this drug to the supplement rather than obtaining it from rose geranium oil. Rose geranium oil is used in foods and beverages as a flavoring. In manufacturing, rose geranium oil is used as an inexpensive substitute for rose oil. It is also used as fragrance in soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes. How does it work? Rose geranium oil contains several chemicals that seem to have antibiotic-like effects. The oil might also have a soothing effect when applied to the skin." Libby's Response: Rose Geranium is my GO TO Herb, Essential Oil, Parfum when I need some antibiotic or anti viral support. For instance there have been a lot of people with walking pneumonia this season because of the extreme dampness, rain and cold weather combined with warm sunny days, which actually confuses the body's kidney meridian into being sluggish. I work with CHI SERUM for this but I also always have a 10ml Rose Geranium Parfum in my car glove box, in my purse, and in my office next to computer. I roll on a bit of the parfum onto my palms and molecularize it into my hands before lightly stroking my face, neck (caryotid) and nape of neck, and through my hair at temple area and forehead. What this does is activate a very subtle antibiotic sweep through my skin and into my blood stream, in my etheric field to cleanse me of any germs that could be adverse for me. I do this immediately after shaking hands with people these days, because we are passing germs this way. Rose Geranium also has a very steeped culture in an earth mother vibe, a heart chakra opening. In the language of flowers we learn that Rose Geranium means *PREFERENCE*. pref•er•ence (prĕfˈər-əns, prĕfˈrəns)►
Someone or something so chosen. It is true that this Scent Sings a Strong SOLO SONG and brings a sense of purpose into our field, perhaps helping us to choose the fork in the road situations with more ease. This is a very beautiful scent, round, earthy and bright. If I am fighting off an incoming illness I am always using Rose Geranium as my prevention go to. In every first kit this and Lavendar Parfum are MUSTS. Lavendar also works in similar ways. The Roll on bottles in the 5ml and 10ml are perfect for delivery systems. If you are trying to cleanse the air in your home or space then I recommend a spray delivery system that can be purchased in 15ml, 30ml, or 60ml. I like the larger size as the tube is wider and more comes out during a spraying. I walk through home or space and spray, using a feather to waft it around, or my arm. Enjoy~ XO L I have been working on a couple of millefleurs parfums. A millefleur parfum is a sweep of all garden abundance at any given season. I have one such accord that acts from Summer of 2016 as a base for some of my private client parfums worldwide. This year I am created the first Gratitude Perfume Project Composition.
Let me introduce SUPREME JOY PARFUM that works with inner warmth, joy and a healthy expression of sexuality & love. I will posting the process of the perfume making as we compose, collect and imbue the plants inside the concoction. :) This overall IDEA of SUPREME JOY is not new for me. I created and have updated the recipe per client as SUPREME JOY FLOWER WATER. Here we go the distance as a Quantum Neuroscience Alchemical Parfum. Things will be shaping up as we go through this spring season. Here are the ingredients and their emotional support that they lend: Borage Borago officinalis Positive qualities: Ebullient heart forces, buoyant courage and optimism Patterns of imbalance: Heavyheartedness or grief, lack of confidence in facing difficult circumstances; depressive behavior Calendula Calendula officinalis Positive qualities: Healing warmth and receptivity, especially in the use of the spoken word and in dialogue with others Patterns of imbalance: Argumentative, lack of receptivity in communication with others; verbal abuse California Valerian Valeriana capitata Positive qualities: Tranquility and inner equilibrium; inner confidence for the future due to the soul’s understanding of prior experiences; peaceful acceptance of life experiences Patterns of imbalance: Shallow breathing due to anxiety about the future; nervous agitation or insomnia; worry and unease when facing future life events that are viewed as challenging; addiction to sleeping pills or tranquilizers Chamomile Matricaria recutita Positive qualities: Serene, sun-like disposition, emotional balance Patterns of imbalance: Easily upset, moody and irritable, inability to release emotional tension, especially in the stomach or solar plexus Hibiscus Hibiscus moscheutos Hibisus rosa-sinensis Positive qualities: Warmth and responsiveness in sexuality; integration of soul warmth and bodily passion Patterns of imbalance: Inability to enjoy sexual experience; lack of warmth and vitality, often due to prior exploitation, false cultural expectations or abuse Mugwort Artemisia douglasiana Positive qualities: Integration of psychic or dream experiences with daily life; flexible, multi-dimensional consciousness, warm and expansive soul qualities Patterns of imbalance: Tendency to hysteria, fantasy or projection, overactive psychic life unable to distinguish or integrate trans-physical experiences Nasturtium Tropaeolum majus Positive qualities: Glowing vitality, radiant warmth; living thinking Patterns of imbalance: Overly “dry” or intellectual consciousness; depletion of life-force and emotional verve from too much study Red Clover Trifolium pratense Positive qualities: Calm and steady presence, especially in emergency situations, internally generated behavior Patterns of imbalance: Susceptible to mass hysteria and anxiety, easily influenced by panic or other forms of group thought Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis Positive qualities: Warm physical presence and mental vitality; healthy embodiment Patterns of imbalance: Forgetfulness or poor learning ability, loosely incarnated in body, lacking physical/ etheric warmth, especially in bodily extremities; traumatic out-of-body spiritual experiences Sticky Monkeyflower Mimulus aurantiacus Positive qualities: Balanced integration of human warmth and sexual intimacy; ability to express deep feelings of love and connectedness in sexual relationships Patterns of imbalance: Repressed sexual feelings, inappropriate sexual behavior divorced from human love; inability to experience human warmth in sexual experiences; deep fear of sexuality and intimacy Sweet Pea Lathyrus latifolius Positive qualities: Commitment to community, a sense of one’s place on Earth, ability to form social roots Patterns of imbalance: Inability to form bonds with social community or to find one’s place on Earth; homelessness, dislocation or frequent travel and moving Tuberose The pleasant fragrance and various chemical components of this oil have relaxing effects on the brain, nerves, and the muscles. It calms people and gives relief from stress, tension, anxiety, depression, anger, nervous afflictions, convulsions, cramps, spasmodic coughs, and diarrhea.Sedative: This essential oil is good for sedating inflammations, particularly those pertaining to the nervous system and the respiratory system. However, to have this sedating effect, it should be used in relatively high dilution. Warming: Tuberose Essential Oil stimulates and increases blood circulation throughout the body, thereby inducing a warming effect. This effect counters the feeling of cold in winters, keeps the respiratory system warm, prevents the deposition of phlegm and catarrh, increases activity, and also helps to cure sexual disorders. Wild Rose Rosa canina Positive qualities: Will to live, joy and commitment to life despite trials or pain Patterns of imbalance: Resignation or apathy; inability to embrace life; pain or suffering that paralyzes body and soul; lingering illness which does not resolve itself. Yarrow Achillea millefolium Positive qualities: Luminous and strong auric field, compassionate and inclusive sensitivity, refined and flexible psychic forces Patterns of imbalance: Extreme vulnerability to others and to the environment; easily depleted, overly absorbent of negative influences, psychic toxicity During the lead up into this next storm today and tomorrow I am focusing on meditation, walking, some light rejuvenating yogic stretching, and good food, hot aromatic baths, listening to Neville Goddard on You Tube, and resting.
I encourage all of my friends to practice Self Care during the storm, when we can take the time to go inside, to reset our batteries, and work on our seasonal intention during the time between IMBOLC and SPRING EQUINOX. Our Spring here is well under way in California. In Taoist terms we begin Spring on Imbolc (Feb 1-2) and it peaks on Spring Equinox (March 20-22). Our focus now should be on spring cleaning and resetting seeds, seedlings for our new year's growth. If you have done the work in Dec transitioning to Jan then you will be well on your way. The scents that I am working with now to focus me are Coastal Woods, Forest Floor, Ocean Whisper. These are all echoes of the landscape here on the #SLOWCOAST and from my woodland childhood back east in springtime. I feel everything growing, expanding and creating when I smell these scents. It is a good addition for my imagination which creates reality. XO I listen to my inner voice always. Scent captures the amplification of our thoughts, and creates new memories, while conjuring the past. I like working with cleaning my DNA through all time rounds, all multiverses and my blood, in meditation. Pull in all and clean, then send it all back out again focused on goals, intent. Good spring cleaning that is an inside job towards manifesting. The three scents I suggested all are woodsy, clean, nature scents, that help me connect via all trees, air, elements through all forests everywhere. It is a purposeful pathway that is alive with new growth now. I have always been a bath person. I like to take a morning bath and an evening bath.
I compose a seasonal essential oil blend in a 60ml apothecary bottle to work with until it is gone, and then I do another one. Some essences are a contiuum. I like blood orange, geranium, frankincense, ginger, juniper, and spearmint. Cypress, clary sage and lemon. I also have a few of my favorite Serums on hand. Now I am working with 3rd Eye Chakra because I have been working with my creative imagination for LPO. Here is how I draw a hot bath. I turn on the faucet, close up the bath drain, and add a small amount of EO's. I swish it around until the bath is 4 inches deep and then I sink into the bath. I let the water continue to fill as I cup my hands and pull the water over my head and shoulders, annointing under breasts, under arms, and behind my neck on my back. After 5 minutes of this I begin with the 3rd Eye Chakra and attend to a light effleurage massage up my legs towards the heart including the bottom of my heels, feet, toes, ankles, and calves, legs, knees, stretching towards the tub drain. The forward bend should be during a deep breath or two, enjoy the heat of the bath. I turn off the spigot after it fills to 8 inches with me in the bath tub. I continue to annoint the 3rd Eye Chakra Serum. UP my arms, torso, breasts, neck, face, back. I continue to enjoy the bath for about ten minutes. Then I exit the bath and wrap up into a towel then I sweat on my massage table while my body integrates the treatment. I like this synergy two times a day. The benefits to me include: Adrenal Rebalancing Immersion of body in water to release stress Moisturize entire body and purify This is something that I recommend two times a day. I will be offering neat essential oils soon that you can use this way, and the serums are already available. Thank you for being in our lives. The season of SPRING is happening.
