The Perfect Weight - It's a state of mind

Brandy Oswald

 

Perfect Weight state of mind

What if being at your perfect weight was a state of mind rather than a physical goal? What if looking and feeling radiant in your body came from a place of self-love and appreciation, rather than a place of bland diets and strict exercise routines? What if having the perfect weight came from a place of liberation, rather than rigidity?

Ahh, that would be a welcomed change of pace.

The truth is that all of this can be true. We can reject strict body goals, harsh diets, and rigid exercise routines and have a radiant body at its perfect weight. We can experience self-confidence and love without any of these things.This is what our Perfect Weight flower essence formula is all about.

 

With our Perfect Weight blend, the perfect weight is a state of mind rather than a physical goal.

 

This essence blend allows you to feel blissful and confident in your body, releasing anything that no longer serves you. It allows you to, quite literally, drop emotional weight. The essence blend frees you of unhealthy stressors, granting you the ability to experience your perfect weight - emotionally and physically.

Our Perfect Weight blend is the exact opposite of harsh diets, strict exercise, and rigid body expectations. It is about liberation. It is about feeling healthy, confident, and full of love each and every day.

This essence blend features our Freedom/Libertad essence with 24k gold to promote freedom on all levels. It also features our Let Go and Trust essence for letting go of attachments and things that no longer serve us. And, if achieving a more comfortable physical weight is something that would allow you to feel more radiant in your body our Perfect Weight blend is here to help. It contains our Inocencia Coca essence for balanced appetite and metabolism, as well as increased stamina - hello, sweaty workouts!

Oh, and there’s chocolate. That’s right, we put cacao flower essence in our Perfect Weight blend because it’s hard to achieve perfection without chocolate - am I right?! The Perfect Weight blend contains our Sublime Chocolate cacao essence, which harnesses the healing power of the cacao flower to balance the metabolism and increases appetite for healthy foods. It’s a win, win.

Perfect Weight is the - ahem - perfect essence blend for transforming your wellness habits, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and releasing any excess emotional and physical weight that has been holding you back. Some folks say it takes 21 days to form a habit, we say it takes a few flower essences, a tiny dropper, and a warm bath.  

Other fun ways to use the Perfect Weight flower essence blend includes adding it to your laundry water, beauty products, yoga mat cleaner, and smoothies.


Liberate yourself from strict body expectations. Invite freedom and ease into your relationship with your body and your life. Allow your perfect weight to be a blissful state of mind where you experience radical self-love - and, have some sublime cacao along the way!

What does it mean to wander?

Wanderlust - What does it mean to wander?

Have you ever been in a moment so magical you had to stop and ask yourself, “How is this real life?” You look around and wonder “How did I get so lucky to be alive participating in this incredible experience?”

I had one of those moments two weeks ago at Wanderlust Stratton. I was surrounded by friends and complete strangers dancing to a live performance by Michael Franti when I looked up and noticed that the entire crowd was dancing while waving peace signs high above their heads. As I soaked in the sea of peace signs, I realized that these are my people and together we are changing the world. It was magical.

Wanderlust Stratton is one of many Wanderlust festivals that take place around the world. Each festival is an all-out mindful living celebration featuring yoga and meditation workshops, live music, group hikes, standup paddleboarding, inspirational speakers, renowned chefs, and amazing vendors. I might be biased, but it seems to me that Wanderlust festivals are where some of the greatest people in the world come together to wave peace signs in the air in the name of love, compassion, and joy.

I spent 4 days taking super fun yoga classes, meditating, basking in the sun, relaxing in hammocks, eating local foods, dancing fiercely, and meeting some of the most incredible people. I absolutely loved the playful vibe of MC Yogi’s workshops. They mixed traditional yoga and philosophy with storytelling, live music, laughter, and dancing. I was moved to tears at Gabrielle Bernstein’s workshop about surrendering to the power of the universe. Her beautiful words exposed a personal struggle that I had been ignoring and opened my eyes to the freedom that lies on the other side of surrendering gently to the bigger plan - the plan of the universe. And the evening concerts, they were incredible. I’ve never danced so freely in a room full of strangers. There was lots of hugging, singing, and peace sign-waving.

As my time at Wanderlust Stratton came to a close, I began asking myself What does it mean to wander?


Here’s what I came up with:

To wander is to…

Roam without searching, with no true destination

Roam simply to roam

Live for the journey

Desire to move, witness, experience, act, embrace, revel, cherish, and see

Be curious

Sometimes to wander is to be lost. Perhaps, those are the times when we need to extend roots and ground down. However, when we feel the yearn to wander stemming from a place of curiosity, we must find the courage to get up and roam.

That is what wanderlust means to me. What does wanderlust mean to you?

Making the Eagle Essence: A Life Changing Arkansas Crystal Adventure

Star Riparetti8 comments

My recent trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas was life changing. Seriously life changing. A few months ago a friend forwarded a couple of links to some YouTube videos (see links at bottom). I watched them and immediately felt I needed to get to Hot Springs and get in the water there. Hot Springs is adjacent to several lakes, one of them being Lake Ouachita (pronounced wash-ah-taw). It is considered one of the cleanest lakes of its size in America. It also has one the largest veins of Quartz crystal in the world running under it. The gist of the videos was that the crystals in Hot Springs, Arkansas (as well as Brazil) were being activated at a new level beginning in 2015.

My feeling was get there, get in the water, receive the transmissions and get back to my lovely Santa Barbara. 4 days would be plenty. I remembered I had a friend, Kayse, there, and made some calls, and ended up putting a trip together with her called "Arkansas Crystal Adventure." 8 Women came, in addition to Kayse and I.

People would say to me, “ I can’t make it this time, and I want to go with you next year” or, "Do you think you will be doing this again?" Inside my head I was saying, No way: I’m going to make a quick trip to Arkansas for 4 days- receive the transmissions, and go home. The words that came out of my mouth were, “ You never know."

It feels like every single thing that happened was a divinely guided blessing.

We made our itinerary- which was amusing, since I had never been there. We scheduled a day with Kayse’s husband Gary. My feeling was that I didn’t want to hear someone talk all day, when I could be outside. I was saying maybe 1/2 day. Kayse assured me we would need at least one day. We agreed on a full day because  it is very experiential- with a trip to the lake after.

Oh My!!! How right she was!!!! We did not want to tear ourselves away. Gary is a Guru. A devoted meditator and devotee of yogananda for over 40 years, and a crystal wizard since he was 9 years old. He is a mining engineer, who immediately shifted to crystals after some amazing experiences with the crystal beings. Crystals are his life work and he has worked with every aspect of them.

His stories go on and on and we were all mesmerized- as well as activated by the crystal grids that he and Kayse set up for us. This is a very condensed version of what happened. Someday (soon) he will create a crystal temple with crystals he has been collecting for this purpose for the past 40 + years.

We began our journey with a despacho (offering) at the lake to bless our journey. It was beautiful.

Another divine thing that happened is that the week before we arrived there was a Kryon event right in Hot Springs, featuring Greg Bradden, Joe Dispensa and Bruce Lipton. There were 600 light workers there. Very interesting… Some of our participants went early and attended some of the events, and Kayse volunteered, so she knew what was happening, knew that the next week- the week myself and the others arrived, many of the light workers would still be there. She knew the Crystalline Choir would be singing special tones, and that they allowed an audience to attend. There were around 300 choir members. They sing what they call the Pineal Tones once a year, in different places on the planet. This year the chosen spot was Hot Springs, Arkansas.  I and several others in our group attended this.

Beyond words… Yes, way beyond amazing.

After that we really wanted to get back into the lake! Which of course we did.

And so the week went. On our last day beautiful Sandy Rose, who had been preparing all of our delicious, organic, vegetarian, blessed meals, invited us to go out to have our lunch on her boat, which would hold all of us. (Kayse’s boat is smaller, so she would shuttle us back and forth so we could hang out in the deeper water with foam noodles in the special places on the lake that she is aware of- after being there for almost 20 years.)

Sandy Rose wanted to take us to see a bald eagle nest, and perhaps, if we were lucky, we would catch a glimpse of an eagle. What happened thrilled and amazed us all. Not only did we catch a glimpse- We saw FIVE of them! First we saw the nest...

 Then we saw them flying...

 

Then we saw 3 of them on the beach (they really are there)...

Then we saw them landing in the trees…

Someone mentioned Eagle Essence- and everything inside me lit up.

I remembered that I had brought my empty bottle that day, to get some lake water. I had brought it to Arkansas thinking that I would make some crystal essences, and that wasn’t happening. And EAGLE was! I fetched my bottle from the boat, all the time asking for signs, and the Eagles would fly by. I got the bottle, went back to where they were on the shore, and made the essence. I then asked if I really had their energy to give me another sign. I was swimming back with the bottle, wondering- and all of a sudden it was like the finale at the fourth of July. They were all flying around, seemingly buzzing us. Giving me signs. Saying Fly Like an Eagle.

 

Fly Like an Eagle

by Steve Miller Band

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

 

That brings me to the life changing part.

In addition to receiving all of the beautiful transmissions, and feeling like I got a complete reset, upgrade, reboot (to use those computer terms)...  I also got a strong message and feeling to go back to Hot Springs. Whaaaaaaaat??? California girl moving to Arkansas????? (I was born in Santa Barbara and I love it.)

I’m a 'follow your bliss' kind of girl. And- that Lake Ouachita is calling me. It was totally blissful to be in that water. Now I find myself longing for it. One way or another I’m going back to Arkansas. So there. I said it out loud. It feels like part of my new service is to help facilitate getting people into that water at Lake Ouachita. Kayse has known this for a long time. Kayse and Gary have been laying this foundation for the past 20 years, and it is now in divine timing, with the recent activations, for us to work together to get people there to receive the transmissions. So everything in my life is about to shift. I will still have strong ties in Santa Barbara, and I need- yes need- to be in Hot Springs. Well, that is a big leap of faith for me to write this, not really knowing yet how it will transpire. Perhaps it’s that Eagle Essence… I have a new perspective…

6 Ways to Celebrate the Summer Solstice with Flower Essences

Brandy Oswald


With the June 2016 solstice this week, it seems that summer has officially arrived. The days of backyard barbecues, sandy beaches, and bare feet have only just begun. Now, that’s worth celebrating.                                                                                                              
June 20th marked the 2016 summer solstice and the day of the year with most daylight. If you’re looking to embrace the energy of the solstice and celebrate the joys of summer, you’ve come to the right place. 

Here are 6 ways to celebrate the summer solstice, flower essences encouraged!

 

 

 

 

6 Ways to Celebrate the Summer Solstice with Flower Essences

  1. Meditate

The solstice is thought to be a powerful and energetic time of year. With the heat of summer upon us, it is the perfect time to slow down, pause, and simply be still. Be adventurous with your meditation practice. If traditional, seated meditation doesn’t work for you, explore other forms of meditation. Other meditative activities include: gardening, hiking, warm baths, writing in a journal, and quiet time with a cup of tea.

Need some help getting in the meditation mindset? Try these three flower essences that aid in meditation: Illumination, Light Codes of Unification, and Divine Messenger.

  1. Get creative

Channel the powerful energy of the summer solstice by tapping into your artistic creativity. Use the summer heat to ignite your inner, creative flame. Drawing, painting, singing, writing, dancing, cooking - immerse yourself in your creative outlet. Dive deep, perhaps even take time for a mini artistic retreat.

Use our Artistic Inspiration flower essence for creativity to help channel the solstice energy into your next great creation!

  1. Don’t sweat the haters

Whether you are unveiling a new artistic creation, grilling veggies at a backyard barbecue, or rocking your new bathing suit on the beach, the haters will find you. Negativity and criticism may find you when you least expect it. The good news is that other people’s opinions of your divine creativity and your backyard bbq skills does not matter. Their opinions of your beautiful, bathing suit-wearing, beach bod matter even less.

Let’s celebrate the summer solstice by ignoring the haters and shielding ourselves from negativity. This is much easier said than done, which is why you will want to get your hands on our Shield of Light Drops to stay safe and protected from the haters and remain full of courage for the summer ahead. 

  1. Get a good night’s sleep

Celebration comes in many forms. Perhaps, for you, the solstice celebration is about self-care, rest and relaxation, and sleeping by the light of the moon.  Our Full Moonlight lavender flower essence for better sleep is perfect for a soothing solstice celebration. Create a divine night of solstice relaxation with a bubble bath, your favorite book, and a full 8 hours of sleep. You will wake up ready to enjoy all that summer has in store. 

  1.  Take a yoga class

Use the energy of the summer solstice to shake up, and stretch out, your body. Winter tends to leave us feeling cooped up and bogged down. Celebrate the the start of summer by reinvigorating your mind, body, and soul with your favorite yoga class.  

To enhance your yoga experience try our Yoga Mind Mouth Mist for mindfulness, presence, and balance in mind and body.

 

  

  1. Have a goddess party

Invite over all of the goddesses in your life and celebrate the summer solstice with a goddess party full of radiant, feminine energy. Join together to celebrate not only the start of summer, but your vibrant sisterhood. Create rituals. Host a candle lighting ceremony. Eat chocolate and sip wine. Dance barefoot in the grass. Whatever it means to be feminine and celebratory, go out and make it happen.

Not that you’re going to need it, but here are our favorite flower essences for radiant femininity and joyous celebration: Divine Goddess, Wild Feminine, Celebration Blessings, and Dance

Feed your plants ~ Plant Love. A way to raise your frequency and embody your divinity.

Star Riparetti
Plant Love like you plant carrots and flowers and fruit trees…
Love your plants, and give them PLANT LOVE.

 

One of the things I am most interested in is raising my vibration and embodying my divinity - and helping others to do the same.  To me this is what evolution and ascension is about. When we are in higher frequencies we are happier, healthier and have more peaceful thoughts- thus creating more peace and health and happiness.

There are myriad ways to raise our vibration, and planting LOVE, using Plant Love- is a great one. And simple. We know that diet affects our frequency- and when we eat food that has gotten to know us, the effects can be profound.  

Smarty Plants:

Plants are highly intelligent. It is proven that they can communicate with each other, and what many of us know is that they can communicate with us, as well. They are happy to communicate with us, when we are willing to listen. Nature has a voice.

In the first Anastasia Book in the Ringing Cedars of Russia series* (my all time favorite books), Anastasia talks about putting a seed under your tongue for nine minutes before you germinate it, so it can learn your DNA and thus grow for you what you need.  

Certain plants are infused with higher vibrations that they exude and can help us evolve. Even breathing the oxygen these plants create will help us. Plants are evolving along with us. As we are being given transmissions of higher frequencies, so are the plants.

Growing plants with high vibrational essences can give all plants a power boost, the same as the essences do for us (as well as heal us).

Being with plants that have been infused with high energies- grown with high vibrational essences- is going to the next step: beyond organic. We absorb their energetic light codes. This will allow us to hold greater volumes of light. It will enhance and add substance to the light that is held within our bodies.

Planting Love, using Plant Love, and then consuming those plants- or smelling, eating, drinking, smoking, even inhaling the oxygen they create- is a way to nourish our body in a new way, preparing us for higher vibrational living.

Whether consuming the plants or simply existing with them, they will benefit us by helping us to enhance and sustain the light within our bodies.

Let’s respect the plant kingdom and give it the love, attention and appreciation it deserves, and be conscious of its Divinity.

Plant Love.

*I HIGHLY recommend the The Ringing Cedars books. I love what a friend of mine said: “When I’m reading those books I don’t need to see my therapist.” There is so much optimism. There are simple solutions to everything.

11 Must-Have Flower Essences for Spring

Brandy Oswald

Star Essence - 11 Must Have Flower Essences for SpringSpring is here. We’ve made it through another winter. We are saying goodbye to sun deprivation, seasonal sadness, and lethargy. It’s time for cheerfulness, cleansing, and rebirth. Oh, spring, how we love you so!

One of the most beloved aspects of spring is the rebirth of gorgeous flower blooms. Their vibrant colors and tantalizing fragrances making us fall even deeper in love with this beautiful season.

Spring, unlike any other time of year, is characterized by cleansing, decluttering, and purifying. Mind, body, home - whatever it is - this is the time of year to cleanse and declutter. Here are some of our favorite flower essences to support spring cleaning:

4. Pure and Simple

Anchoring Blue Lotus Temple

Star Riparetti

I have been working with the energy of the Blue Lotus for over two years. ("Blue Lotus" was revered in Ancient Egypt- and I promised the botanists I would let you know the Blue Lotus is really a Blue Water Lily, not a true Lotus.) I made the Nymphaea caerulea Blue Lotus/Water Lily essence in August 2014, and that is a magical story in itself.

First I ordered a Blue Lotus plant, and I made a little pond, and I grew it. I spent that time bonding with it. There was only one plant, and it did make several flowers. The raccoons enjoyed the pond as well as other critters. I wasn’t feeling it was the perfect plant to make an essence from, unless it was just for me.

Then- everything happened. My dear friend Leah, who is a Star Essence Master Teacher, got permission for us to go to a very special estate that grows lotuses in Santa Barbara and make the essence. The day turned out to be perfect, with us being the only people there, the weather ideal, and LOTS of Blue Lotus in bloom, at their peak. The energy felt like it was off the charts. I had several people holding energy while it was being made.

It was the same place where we had made the Pink Lotus flower essence, Initiation of the Heartlight, in 1999. It is very nice to take the pink lotus first, to initiate the heart light, and then go on to dive deeply into the Blue Lotus.

When I made the Blue Lotus/Water Lily essence, which is called Grace of Creation, I knew there was also something called the Blue Lotus Temple. It is the temple inside of us. This inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Temple Constellation and Spray, a synergistic blend of essences. In addition to the Grace of Creation (Blue Water Lily) essence, it contains Eternal Youth (Epidendrum ibaguense), One Heart (Epidendrum cuscoense), Sacred Union (Maxillaria), Golden Rock Water, and Gold-24K. There is also a Blue Lotus Temple Spray, which contains all of the essences mentioned, plus exquisite pure rose and piper nigrum (black pepper) essential oils. It seems to hum, it is so high vibe!

We are taking essences in a whole new octave. The Blue Lotus Temple feels like an embrace as well as a portal to our own divine nature. It’s a guide. It’s way more. I look forward to hearing your experiences.

 

I asked my friends Meganne Forbes and Oceanna to collaborate and make a painting of Blue Lotus. Oceanna drew the geometries of it (as she has done for all of the orchids). We will have prints available soon!


    Recently I went to Chile to teach a two day class and a 1/2 day workshop. The extra exciting thing was that I knew this trip was about more than me teaching: it was about anchoring the Blue Lotus Temple strongly into the grids, so that everyone has access to it. I was assured by spirit that Chile was the place to do this. Beforehand I arranged for friends from all over (as close as Santa Barbara and as far away as Qatar in the Middle East) to be holding energy with me, and using the Blue Lotus Temple essence/spray at the same time as the workshops. I told the beautiful participants in Chile that we were building a light bridge from Chile to the US- and beyond- and anchoring the Blue Lotus Temple. It Happened. The energy in the room was rarified and palpable. We took the Blue Lotus Temple and did a brief meditation (I feel some of us could have stayed in that space all day). I then asked everyone to write one word, or something brief, about their experience, which they shared. I felt so blessed, hearing what happened. One woman saw her mother, whom she had never met. So many people had profound experiences. Meditating with a group is so powerful. I recommend it! The friends elsewhere had equally profound experiences meditating with Blue Lotus Temple and tuning into those of us in Chile.

    I’m feeling so humble and infinitely grateful to all of the people who participated. Here, there, and everywhere. Knowing and unknowing. It was definitely a fiesta of energy.  Here is a photo during one of our dance moments during the class. 


    I recently took the spray to Bhakti Fest in Joshua Tree. 4 days of kirtan/ chanting. As I used the spray with a few people along the way the reactions were always the same. Wow- what was THAT. And- always a comment about how high vibe it feels.

As Within, So Without... As Above, So Below

Star Essence

by Kristine Haugh

When I was a teenager I was fascinated by the metaphor of the hologram; that no matter how many pieces you break it into or how small each piece is, there can be seen, in each fragment of the original whole, an image of that whole. Around this same time, one of my favorite high school teachers, Mr Roche, showed us how to turn over the hand we were using to point the finger of blame at someone else in order to see the 3 fingers there pointing to ourselves. Wow. 

These 2 metaphors do so much to help us take responsibility for our own personal environments, internal and external, before sending judgment and anger outward to others. Where, in our own lives are we careless with the thoughts and words we put out about others, releasing thought pollution into the environment? Where are we sending negative energy out that weakens our own ozone layer (aura)? What emotions are we refusing to love, embrace and process and instead dumping them into a collective ocean of unconsciousness?

We are of the earth, we are an integral part of her and what we do and feel and heal, so does she.

For those in the Santa Barbara area, I am offering an event on Earth Day called “Heal Your Self and Heal the Earth with Vibrational Essences.” This playshop will offer tools that will help us each take responsibility for our personal Global Climate Change, raise our own resonance and therefore assist with the transformation process of the Earth. Look for more for information soon at www.facebook.com/staressenceremedies or call (805) 965-1619.

Star of Bethlehem and Rock Water to the Rescue

Arielle Ela•Ra

The timeliness of new essences here at Star Essence never ceases to amaze me. That magical and quintessential "moment of bloom" that Star speaks about relates to seasons and cycles far above and beyond the physical world. Whether it's a flower, a gemstone, or another vibrational offering, it always seems to show up in perfect divine timing when its gifts are of heightened relevance and value, both collectively and personally. (For "energetic forecasts" of upcoming/incoming frequencies and themes, we could often watch the essence producers of the world just as effectively as the astrologers, channels, psychics etc.!)

The new Golden Bach Flower Essences Star of Bethlehem and Rock Water were an especially prime example of this. Having the honor of preserving the Mother essences and collaborating with Star on the descriptive information, I had tuned in and immediately resonated with their gifts on a personal emotional level. So when I was guided to take a bottle of Star of Bethlehem home over the weekend, and add Rock Water to that same bottle, I assumed it was for my own process.

The next afternoon while at his restaurant management job, my soul partner Marlon cut his hand deeply on a broken champagne glass and had to have stitches. We were waiting for over 2 hours to be seen by a doctor, and initially he was very agitated and upset- not just from pain, but anger and sadness that it had happened and concern about his hand’s mobility, as he is a guitarist and would be starting classes at Musician's Institute in less than 2 weeks.

I administered drops of the Star of Bethlehem/Rock Water essence to both of us every 15 minutes, in addition to some Reiki energy healing. Within a very short amount of time Marlon completely calmed down and felt peaceful and optimistic about the outcome of his injury (Star of Bethlehem). Though he had been planning a rigorous schedule of guitar practice, he was able to let go of these high expectations of himself and trust that recuperation time would not impact his ability to perform in his classes (Rock Water). By the time we got into the exam room he was joking around with the nurses and doctor. I continued to give him more of the essences throughout the examination and treatment, and he maintained an excellent sense of humor throughout the whole thing and was in high spirits for the rest of the day. He also had extremely minimal pain or discomfort and was back on the guitar within a week!

We are both deeply grateful that the injury was so minor, and that we had Star of Bethlehem/Rock Water to support us. The bottle I made of these essences has already needed refilling a couple of times and we continue to utilize it daily! It has additionally been of immense value seeing us through some shocking but ultimately positive changes and events in our extended family.

I will be carrying these beautiful allies with me for some time!
