Jasper

This is the body oil I have prepared for since spring, and it is absolutely worth the wait. Jasper is subtle, with strong herbal companions to support you in the most earthy way possible. I feel like this oil has the potential to meet anyone, and I can not wait for others to experience the earth magic contained in this lil’ 2 oz. bottle.

As a body based product, Jasper is carried in olive and vitamin e oil, which provides a hydrating and grounding carrier for the herbal companions. Accompanying the oil is an infusion of comfrey leaf, st. johns wort, calendula flowers, and honey suckle. Together, these allies provide a soothing, protecting, and regenerating experience for the physical body.

As mentioned before, I have been preparing for this oil since the first honeysuckle blossoms arrived, mid spring. Every morning I would gather mutliflora rose for Zephyr, and everyones favorite, sweet smelling, invasive plant, Lonicera japonica. I grew up with this friend, so it’s definitely an ongoing internal conundrum that this plant would be unwelcome. I have a core memory of walking in the woods behind my various homes as a child and smelling the honey scented trumpet flowers. This plant was always so welcoming, bright, and playful. I always felt at home with them.

Paired with the controversial flora, is comfrey, which I planted years ago underneath my pear tree (the same pear tree that bears pounds and pounds of fruit each year, safe to say they’re friends). Also included is the ever supportive st. johns wort and the most soothing, calendula. I gathered the majority of the herbal allies in my own garden, and it was a sweet experience.

This body oil is supportive, on many levels. Physically, this oil can repair and soothe tender skin in the most subtle of ways. Energetically, this oil is a Virgo through and through. Jasper is here to hold space for all that you are, listen deeply, and offer guidance. This earthy oil invites you to notice your physical body, and connection to our home planet.

Time spent with Jasper is soothing to a spirit who needs a safe and comfy landing. If your nervous system is tired, and you’ve been caught up in the world wind that is life, call on Jasper. The spirit of this oil encourages you to slow down a bit, take a break from technology, and notice everything around you. What do you see, hear, smell, feel and taste? What do you prefer in your experience, and why? Bring your journal along, take your time, and most of all, take care.

Perhaps, if you and a loved one are looking for ways to connect, invite Ember to accompany the sweet art of partner massage.

However you work with Jasper, I do hope you are taking care out there.
