DIY Herbal Chest/Breast Massage Oil

Posted on by Jupiter's Labyrinth
Sweet Violet

Breast Massage is the utmost importance for everyone- for all genders- especially folks with large breast tissue as we have much more tissue to work with! Breast massage is a wonderful lymph supporter for the removal of wastes, circulation, elasticity of the tissue & even helps create firmer tissue with daily practice- for real:)
No matter your gender there’s a whole heck of a lot of lymph in the breast and chest area- it needs some attention! And did you know lymph does not have it’s own pumping mechanism or peristalsis to help it move fluid? Nope. So the more hydrated we stay, the more we move our bodies AND the more we massage- the more our lymphatic system thrives!

Don’t Worry, No One Has Their $hit Together.

Posted on by Jupiter's Labyrinth

I’m sorry but it’s just the truth.
Life is filled with ups & downs, blessings and challenges and no one can have it ALL FIGURED OUT, all of the time.
It’s just plain impossible.
How could we grow & evolve in life, if the metaphorical waves didn’t capsize us once in awhile?
But “Where is this all coming from?” you may be thinking to yourself. Well I’ll tell you.
This past year & moving into 2018, has brought with it many personal challenges in my life. Some I’ve shared with you, and some I’ve not.
This new year has continued to push me &  brought me to a place of yearning to be more and more real, authentic and unapologetic to where I am on my path.

Why Herbs Don’t Work

Posted on by Jupiter's Labyrinth

3 Points On Why Herbs Don’t Work.
No, it’s not the herb’s fault.

It’s social medias fault. It’s every herbal advertisement’s fault.  It’s every practitioner that generalizes fault. It’s every blog post & article that claims that X herb is good for Y because they used it and it worked.

Just like every person on this planet is highly unique & individualized in their make up & personality, so is every herb. Each herb on this planet is equally unique in it’s make up, properties & energetic qualities AND how it will work in an individuals body.
Some herbs are warming, stimulating and activating. While other herbs are cooling, astringent & drying.

Self-Care Kitchari Week

Posted on by Jupiter's Labyrinth

It’s the holiday season.
That means indulgences, eating lots of different kinds of foods, drinks, staying out late, packed schedules and rush, rush, rush!
So, where is the time for self care? Sometimes it’s nowhere to be found.
And yet, this is the time of year where I feel I need MORE self care & MORE of a “reboot” mind, body and spirit.
So, before the holidays really take off…I’m doing a week devoted to self-care. Would you like to join me?

This is what MY WEEK is going to look like, but you can do any variation or combination that suits YOUR schedule and needs. You can even start next week if you like. You’re the boss.
