Self-Care for
Gemini Season

21 May, 2025

Let this be a season of mental clarity and curious connection. Gemini teaches us that the mind needs movement, and the heart needs dialogue. However, in a world full of noise, care means creating space to think, speak honestly, and hear truly. 

 

Regulate your breath, soothe your nerves, and stay inquisitive, not overwhelmed. Let your rituals bring you back to centre. 

Seek practices that restore attention, balance stimulation, and invite your inner voice to speak clearly.

SPOTLIGHT: INVOKE PERFUME ELIXIR

ENVELOP YOUR SENSES

Posted by Anna Whiting on May 15, 2025

It fills me with joy that so many of you choose to wear our Invoke Perfume. 

This is more than a natural perfume,  it’s a ritual that honours the divine feminine. 

 

As this natural perfume alchemises with your own skin, its crystal essence of Sapphire, Zircon, Azurite, invites an illumination of your own knowing, a connection to your inspirations, and a welcoming of receptivity . 

 

The Blue Lotus Absolute has a deeply rich and intoxicating scent, grounded with sweet sticky Vanilla and Labdanum resin.  Blended in a base of organic jojoba, this skin softening perfume is 100% natural, with therapeutic and energetic benefits, 

Whilst being completely free of harmful hormone disrupting chemicals.

 

When we first created this perfume, I thought it felt like ”Some woman out there will love this!" She is successful, empowered, and loves immersing herself in luxury quality. As I started wearing it, I realised— I can be her.

INVOKE PERFUME ELIXIR

INVOKING INTUITION

A ritual to invoke the ethereal divine feminine pillar 

Take out the code card or using the symbol on the bottle, swipe with your thumb along the code and press, breathing in your intention. 

 

Close your eyes and feel into the feminine lineage that transcends time. Welcome the strength of these aspects, and allow some deep breaths to expand your body, opening space to receive. 

 

Open your Invoke perfume, and take a long deep opening of your senses to receive it antiquity and elegance. 

 

Drop a few drops onto your left wrist, and as you take your right wrist to meet it feel the alignment of your future potential meeting with this present moment. Lift through your spine, and look upward welcoming an intuitive perspective and a renewed higher vision.

 

Envelop your senses as you welcome this intoxication through your entire body, ground it as you touch upon your legs, embrace its vision as you rub your hands over your hair. 

 

Now make yourself your favourite beverage, nourishing you deeply on every level. Take this feeling, this scent of woman, this presence with self throughout your day. And notice how long it lingers. 

 

Reapply when needed. If you need further support, carry your Invoke code card with you, in your wallet or on your dash. 

 

With love from woman to woman.

Heart Activation Oil Spotlight - Pause Journal

Held in the Unfolding

March 12, 2025

It's easy to feel pulled in many different directions—caught between the past and the future, between what we know and what we are yet to discover. The looking glass that reveals our potential also lays bare our vulnerabilities, and this duality can feel overwhelming, as if we are standing on the edge of something vast and unknown.

 

So, what supports us during such a transformative time?
What allows us to explore our vulnerabilities with safety and grace?
How can we embrace both the revealing of our potential and the tenderness of our edges without fear?

 

These questions—among many others—offer us a beautiful invitation for self-care and reflection. This season calls for moments of stillness, where we can listen to the gentle whispers of our heart and settle the waters within.

In these sacred moments, the elixir that comes to mind is Heart Activation Oil.

 

This botanical treasure, with its soft, nurturing fusion of vanilla and rose, envelops your skin after a warm shower or adds a touch of luxury to your sacred bath ritual. It is anointing, it is healing.

 

Infused with the crystal codes of Kunzite, Pink Tourmaline, and Rose Quartz, it brings a sense of deep love and emotional balance to the being, like a warm embrace from the inside out. Its delicate flower essence also offers support with the radiant Red Suva Frangipani—this indigenous remedy, often called "bleeding heart," is known to hold you when the earth beneath you feels unsteady, when the heart feels tender, and when change feels like both a breaking and a becoming.

 

In these moments of expansion and revelation, we hope this oil brings the gentle calm of the heart. May it welcome you to the deeper whispers within and help settle the waters of your soul with ease.

 

 

Heart Stillness Supports

Expressing your voice—whether through a heartfelt conversation with a friend, a journal entry, or a spontaneous song carried by the wind—allows emotions to flow and be released.

Clearing your home creates space for reflection, renewal, and letting go of what no longer serves you.

Meditation offers a pathway beyond the noise of the mind, inviting stillness and clarity. 

If you need support, apps like Insight Timer or Caitlin Cady’s Heavily Meditated can guide you into deeper presence.

Rituals, whether shared or solitary, bring us back to ourselves—an evening infused with music, candlelight, a warm bath, yin yoga, and herbal tea. These simple yet potent acts of self-care create moments of stillness, healing, and expansion.

 

 

Bath Ritual

Lunar Moonstone Bath Powder with a generous pour of Heart Oil, before you hop in... turn off your phone, lights the candles, pour a fav bevy and welcome a deep exhale. 

 

As you step in - bring your awareness to each part of your body immersing in the warm silk texture of the enhanced water. Let your breath go, let your day go, let the past go. 

 

Keep letting go all bath, just drop it all. 

 

As as you release the plug, feel the weight of all you have been carryiing get sucked down the drain. 

 

Feel space, breath light into those spaces within. 

 

If you feeling creative, write or draw what you going to bring in. if you not... curl up in your pjs and rest x

Nurture

And just as ritual nurtures the spirit, so too does the warmth of home. A nourishing meal, rich with grounding ingredients—slow-roasted root vegetables, golden broths infused with turmeric and ginger, or a cup of cinnamon-spiced cacao—becomes its own kind of alchemy, anchoring us to the present.

May these moments of daily ritual bring you back to yourself.

Remedies that support

Deepen into love

As the veils between past and future grow thin, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads of transformation. 
This is a precious opportunity to embrace ourselves more fully—without hesitation or fear. 
In these delicate moments, we are invited to meet our deepest longings, our quietest fears, and our boldest dreams with open arms, offering ourselves the grace to receive and release. 
Each layer of self-revelation, each tender edge that comes into view, carries its own wisdom, urging us to move gently with the flow of life. 
In this space, we can choose softness over resistance, surrendering to the unfolding process without force. We learn to trust that every moment of vulnerability is an invitation—an invitation to deepen into love, to heal the wounds of the past, and to step more fully into the radiant truth of who we are becoming. 
In embracing our full spectrum, we find the courage to become all that we are meant to be, allowing love to be the guiding force that lights our way.

Reclining Bound Angle Pose
(Supta Baddha Konasana)

A simple yet powerful way to integrate this sense of surrender is through Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose). Resting on the earth with the soles of your feet together, knees gently falling open, and heart space softening, this posture invites deep receptivity. Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly, and breathe slowly, allowing each inhale to expand through your being and each exhale to melt tension away. This pose, much like the Eclipse itself, teaches us to trust the unfolding—to open without fear, to soften into the unknown, and to remember that we are always held.

Voices of Impact: Brooke MacQueen

Voices of Impact

Voices of Impact is a monthly journal on those in our community that are inspirational.

Knowing that inspiration can be born from the humblest of places.

We are single mothers, birth workers, artists, outspoken advocates, disruptors and the people who are quietly plugging away at life.

All our voices have meaning and deserve to be heard.

This is the point and the spectrum of life.

This is what makes a community and what opens our minds to different perspectives.

Shemana shine a spotlight on new person each month, those who impact the souls within and without these walls.

Who, Why and What are you?

My name is Brooke Macqueen. I am a mother, a writer, and an astrologer. An Aries Sun, Pisces Moon, Scorpio Rising.

How do you incorporate rituals into your life?

I honour the astrological seasons; they help me meet the moment. As a mother, set daily rituals often evade me, but one practice remains sacred: 

I do not consume others’ creative work before creating something of my own. Writing, even a single word or line, sparks an entire conversation in my mind. It anchors me before the world rushes in.
 

What influences your rituals?

The sky and the sea bridge the unseen, tethering me to what cannot be named yet makes me feel whole. I move with the Moon, her rhythm a quiet reminder that change is constant. She waxes and wanes, shifting signs every 2.5 days, ushering in a new emotional tide. 

 

When she is new, I begin. When she is full, I release.

And always, I return to the ocean. Water cleanses, water holds. It is both release and return, dissolving what was, and carrying me back to what remains.

What tools, if any, do you use to support your rituals?

I track planetary moments with my Magic of I diary and lately, 

I anoint myself with Shemana Dream Therapy Body Oil before I sit down to write, a small act that signals to my body and imagination that it is time to create.

Rituals for Taurus Season

Self-Care for Taurus Season

April 19, 2025

Let this be a season of steadiness. Ground yourself in rhythm and ritual, returning to
the body as your truest home. Breathe deeper. Move slower. Taste more. 

 

Taurus invites you to tend to your senses, to honour what is simple and honest. Pleasure is a form of presence. Invest in what endures. Let your daily choices reflect your self- worth. You are not behind. There is no race.  There is only the next right step and the strength it takes to take it.

Strengthened Movement

Prioritise movement that builds strength and endurance. Let it be slow and deliberate. Focus on form. Focus on sensation. End with deep neck stretches to relieve tension and reset your nervous system.

Sensory Reset

Create a ritual around your five senses. Burn incense or diffuse essential oils that calm or awaken you. Massage your body with oils or rich creams. Choose fabrics that feel comfortable against your skin. Return to the present moment through your senses.

Money Ritual

Taurus rules self-worth and finances. Take time to review your relationship with money. 

 

Light a candle and journal about what you value and what you’re dedicating your time and energy to. 

Ask if your spending aligns with your vision. Honour your resources. Make a list of small, meaningful investments.

Rooted Nourishment

Eat intentionally and joyfully. Choose meals that are whole, grounding, and full of flavour. Cook slowly, season richly, and set the mood with candles, soft music, and fresh herbs. Favour farm-to-table when possible. Taurus teaches that food is both fuel and celebration. Pleasure and nutrition can coexist.

Pleasure Practice

Indulge without guilt. Choose one small act of pleasure daily and do it thoroughly. 

 

A decadent dessert, a midday nap, a luxurious bath, time in nature, a body oil ritual. 

 

Taurus reminds you: guilty pleasures are meant to be pleasurable. Let comfort be healing.
