April Showers Bring May Flowers

As the sun bestows its rays on us, we can feel the energy of transformation blooming. The blessings of the rains have helped us wash away the old, the stale, the outworn and many of us are re-cycling or re-purposing our material goods. Spring provides a great opportunity to address that which no longer serves our higher purpose in the emotional, mental or psychic realms. Essences are a wonderful ally and adjunct for support in the process of clearing away the old and bringing in the new.

Stars in Jars are committed to support you in achieving your desired changes, and are happy to announce that now, in addition to our products, we have a selection of services available we call our Magical Offerings. Our services include consultations to aid in essence selection, custom made formulas, and hands on body and energy work. Our offerings are a great way to experience our unique gifts as practitioners of complementary healing arts. Together we have over 30 years experience in body/mind/spirit therapies and we integrate our skills to bring forth a personalized experience to support your path to well being.

What do you wish to release? What would you like to embrace? Finding your dream job, attracting love, manifesting a new home? Springtime is the perfect time to emerge and blossom into your fullest potential. We invite you to peruse our offerings to find the one that is right for you and book your consultation by simply emailing us at StarsinJars2008 (at) gmail dot com.

A Toast to Love!

Our special offer this month is the Powerful Pairing of essences we call Divine Union: one bottle each of Empress Moon and Solis Manifestation.

Like two lovers, these yin and yang essences join together in an alchemical sacred union. Solis Manifestation was made under the radiance of a Leo sun intentionally to be the masculine solar/fire balance to the feminine lunar/water qualities of Empress Moon made during a full moon in July under the sign of Cancer.

Together, this pair of essences harmonizes the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within self or in a relationship. Can be used to anoint yourself or a loved one with beauty, adoration and grace and ground your union into manifest form. Let your creativity flow!

To read more about the individual essences please see each one highlighted in our past Featured Essences.

Divine Union is available as a pair of two 1 oz. dropper/internal bottles $24, or two 2 oz. sprays bottles $30 (a savings from buying the essences individually). Can be purchased at Purple Iris Healing Center in Noe Valley San Francisco, 1404 Church Street at 26th Street, Monday through Friday during business hours. If you'd like to order by mail, simply send an email to starsinjars2008 (at) gmail dot com and let us know your zip code so we can calculate the shipping charge.

“I gave the gift of the Divine Union essence set to my friend and she LOVED them. She sprayed them and was impressed at the quality and said she could tell they were made by someone who had energy in her hands :) And commented that the scent stays in the air a long time, it doesn’t just dissapate.” ~ C.H., Psychotherapist

"Empress Moon is a favorite. If I am feeling a little low during my monthly cycle, I spray Empress Moon all over and it feels like I have just received a cool, gentle embrace lifting me up and comforting me." ~ R.A., Attorney

"I LOVE Solis Manifestation. I use it when I wake up in the morning. It has a beautiful scent and I like how it sets the tone for how I want to move forward into my day...with a sense of creativity and openess to abundance. Speaking of abundance, I sprayed Solis around my artwork and display at an art faire I exhibited in and sold 6 paintings that weekend. How's that for manifesting!" ~ R.S., Artist

Flowing into an Abundant New Year

We at Stars in Jars Essences have set sail into the new year with deep gratitude for all the gifts of abundance we give and receive. As we begin to emerge from the heart of winter and journey into the year ahead, may we continue to offer one another support and blessings to renew our spirits, our bodies and the land. With this intention, we have chosen Abundant Spring as our Featured Essence to begin this new year. It is our wish that the abundance of nature flow to all beings everywhere and that we each flow into our fullest potential.

Abundant Spring was made from pure spring water hand collected from Spencer Hot Springs in Nevada.

This essence celebrates and affirms the limitless bounty that pours forth from the source of all life, nature Herself. Supports mind and body in deep restoration and regeneration on a cellular level. A gentle showering of Divine Love that eases expansion of one's heart space. Shifts deeply held patterns of contraction and fear around scarcity, into a sense of trust and openness to receiving.

Holiday Greetings from Stars in Jars

As we turn the wheel of the year this December towards the Winter Solstice, we approach the longest night of the year when the Goddess transformed as Great Mother will labor to give birth to the Sun King, the God. In this season of long nights while we honor the return of the light in many traditions, Stars in Jars chose one of our full moon essences, Hina Full Moon, as our Featured Essence. With kisses of a warm tropical breeze, we send our wishes that the promise of renewal and return of the Sun’s warmth bless you this season.

Hina Full Moon was made on an enchanted tropical evening under an August full moon on the shore of West Maui facing the island of Lana’i. As the glorious moonlight illuminated the star-filled sky and sparkled on the waters of the pacific ocean, night birds flew silently overhead, while sand crabs danced their way along the beach. A chalice with Hawaiian spring water was placed on a sand altar to gather Hina’s blessings that we now offer to you.

Hina is a Hawaiian Goddess who appears in many forms throughout Polynesia, including as the mother of the moon and stars. She is associated with the moon, the ocean, women’s Kapa making, and healing. She bestows blessings of replenishment and renewal. This essence is wonderful for honoring the Divine nature within each of us, especially in times of darkness and searching.

Available in dropper or spray. The spray formula is enhanced with essential oil of jasmine, a night blooming flower that is associated with goddesses, the moon, mysteries of the night, psychic protection, and dreaming.

"Mararu": Offerings of gratitude to Tahitian goddess Hina. Woodcut by Paul Gauguin.

"Hina Full Moon is a delightful blend of essences that delights the senses. I use the spray, used for clearing spaces, to move energy out between giving psychic readings. It is absolutely divine! No residual energy at all between clients, and I am more able to release previous energies more effectively. Subtle yet powerful!" ~ M.S., Psychic
