Crystal Games ~ What Stone do you feel drawn to?

Which stone do you feel drawn to? 1, 2 0r 3?

If you chose....

1) The Aventurine Orgonite Crystal 6-sided Wand Point....

This stone is deeply connected to the earth Goddess, Gaia - and a little reminder to let nature be your guide in terms of healing and also in listening to your body & soul for your journey forward. Time in nature helps us connect in ways that often silence the mind so we can tune in to our own intuition and the wisdom of the body, and of the earth. It is easy to forget how powerful nature is on our spiritual journey, we are as old as the earth and there is deep wisdom within the cells of our bodies - time in the purity of the forest or by a lake helps us connect with this ancient knowledge to remember why we came here - and to rapidly heal, yet in a gentle way - we align to the frequencies we surround ourselves with. Unlike us, the plant life and wild life have pure and steady vibrations - we can trust them when we hear what they have to say.

We must remember to listen, nature is alive and is always talking, our job is to attune to the frequency. Even if we walk in nature daily, are we listening?

2) The Quartz Crystal Pyramid...

Is a master healer and a portal to ascension, a gateway to higher knowledge but here is a reminder that the gateway opens when you are ready to enter. In order to receive the wisdom from the ancients or other realms - in order to receive miracles, you must first discipline the mind and body. You must master the art of controlling vibration and transmuting negative into positive within yourself - to keep your focus and attention where you have placed it. If you were to enter higher realms without first learning how to control the mind and control the body (vibration) the experience may not be positive. By choosing the pyramid you have a curiosity for ancient knowledge and understanding - which is an adventure in itself - but in order to experience directly what the ancients knew, to ground that knowledge into something tangible and useful - we must learn to master ourselves first. Meditation or a meditative practice (martial arts, yoga, dance, art...something that requires focus but also letting go/easing of resistance at the same time) will be your greatest ally.

Learn to discipline yourself in all areas of your life and in the mind and body - face your fears and great things await you.

3) The Afgan Lapis Lazuli Tumblestone

If you chose this stone you desire right now knowledge, guidance or direction.

In order to receive what it is you need to know right now for your path - time completely alone is needed. Yet not at home alone, a journey may be needed - something to break the routine. What you likely need is to put yourself in a different place - to break not only your usual habit of thoughts but also place yourself mentally somewhere you can receive wisdom and be open to new idea - to new ways of thinking. A new place or a journey can temporarily at least, place us above our limited belief systems - it can be like we are hearing with new ears. The vibration you need to create, in order to hear what you need to know - is one where you have mentally left the chatter of everyday life and the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts that accompany that - and place yourself in a space of curiosity, with a spark of excitement about 'the new' and appreciation of 'the now'.

Mental Wellness Gemstone Bracelet set of 3 at a Discount ~ Beat Depression, Anti-Anxiety, Anti-Stress / Inner Calm

This is the Mental Wellness set - Beat Depression, Anti-Stress & Anti-Anxiety.
Feelings, emotions and stresses of the mind are what I specialise in - because back in 2012 my emotional body was screaming and my mind/thoughts causing me so much pain, along with a nervous system on constant high-alert.

Gemstone bracelets are a fabulous tool, not only to raise your energetic frequency to the pure, high vibration of the stone - but to help your mind focus in the right direction. When you put a bracelet on with the intention of overcoming depression, you are telling your mind that you would instead prefer to feel the emotions Love & Joy - you have commanded your brain to go in a different direction. This is NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) and it's extremely powerful.

I didn't just use Gemstone bracelets to get well again after a complete breakdown - I used a variety of tools including mindfulness and meditation - the bracelets were an extra tool to help and remind me on my journey.

So this is why I created Love Beyond the Moon, so other people can have these powerful tools with them on their journey - and I think we all go through dark times, where we feel shattered into a million pieces and are scambling around trying to find ourselves and put ourselves back together again.

So emotional and mental wellness is definitely 'my thing' - it's close to my heart and i'm passionate about helping people get to the feeling place they would prefer to be.
I created so many different frequencies as I tried to put myself back together again - so each blend is not just a 'nice idea' it was something I used to help me at a specific time in my life.

Thankfully I'm now well and happy - it has been an entire journey into wellness and has completely changed my life - and what I now want my future to look like - is so wildly different to 5-6 years ago. I don't know if I could say all the pain was worth it - I would say it just 'Is' or just 'was' and that we are here to learn and to experience - but that the trouble is we get stuck in patterns and habits and we need to show each other the way out from this, it all really opened my eyes to the horrors of society and how much we need to focus on connectedness and compassion, rather than individualism and greed - which sadly is very much promoted at this moment in this time frown emoticon

Wherever you are in your life, if it is a sad, depressed and lonely time - it is not where you are going to stay - it is just how you will find your own journey into wellness, we want to rush it and find answers and help others - it will all come! We are lightworkers and we will find our own ways of shining the light on ourselves first. Don't worry it's all coming - time in the dark is horrific, no doubt about it - but we all climb out of it stronger and with tools we have learnt. Later we will pass this information and compassion onto others - but your own self-care and self-love is so very important.

Anyway I will wrap up this waffly waffle - and get back to creating this Mental Wellness set - the set of 3 together will be £10 off the price of buying them individually - and now the information/affirmation cards come with them too ♡♡
Have a lovely Easter xx Sarah xx

Intentional Visions Boards for Depression or Breakdown/Burnout

What is this?
It's what I call an intentional vision board.

A few years ago I was extremely lost.

I'd emigrated - then returned home to England, was about to get divorced, had no money, no job, 2 little children to care for and contending with a nervous breakdown that robbed me of all my energy and personality.

I know it sounds amazing! Haha - but I didn't enjoy AT ALL.
I'd lost my identity, my soul, my energy, my positivity, my enjoyment, my sense of self, the strong person I used to be. Totally gone.

I was so so broken, weak and unhappy - I just wanted to go for a very, very long sleep (about 6 years or so would have done) - and wake up when I had the energy to live my life. (I've tears in my eyes now because of the relief I feel not being in that place - and if anyone is in in that place please know that it DOES NOT LAST - not only will you survive you will also thrive - it's your reward 😘).

So...it seemed everywhere I turned there were obstacles stopping me getting better - trust me trying to fix your mental health without childcare or sleep is pure hell.
Experiencing mental health problems at all is hell and if you are my heart goes out to you - it is happening to most of us, an epidemic for our era, exasberated by the system we live in. (But that's another story and I best stop my waffling - I wanted to talk about a picture damn it!)

This is not a total sob story I'm just painting the background picture for you about my total frigging lost-ness (if that's a word!) 😞

So...because I felt so lost, like I didn't know who I was at all anymore - I'd started collecting all the photos and quotes on my phone that I seemed to resonate with at the time. Sometimes you see one and you think, that is ME - that speaks to my soul - it describes me - or the future me, the me in another world. The things I love, images that made my heart sing - words that made me laugh or cry or feel strong again.

And I used to save them in a folder on my phone called 'Me'. When I had about 40-50 pictures or so I thought, what am I going to do with them? I want them printed off but there's no point just sticking them in an album.

Then I had the thought of putting them on the wall somehow - and because I wanted it to look pretty and easy to create, I thought of hanging satin ribbons (which I had tons of) from a bamboo stick, hung on the wall with curtain tie back hooks - and attach the photos with clips.

It was a bit weird but I am weird - but it looked fab. I used to put my Christmas cards up with ribbon and little clips so I found the clips.

I can't tell you how happy I was when I got to hang those photos on the wall, it felt like i'd found pieces of me (did I mention how lost I was and my mental health issues? Lol) 😜
Honestly, this weird artform on my wall brought me the most immense joy. It was like I could remember who I was again.

After about 6 months, I did an NLP course and discovered The Law of Attraction - I changed the picture hangings to 60 or so pictures of what I wanted my future to look like. A giant vision board - but deliberately created not intuitively from cut out magazines (which are also fun).

I knew I wanted my own business - so there was pictures of paypal saying "you've got funds" - there were pictures of a girl working from bed on a laptop - of a cruise ship (that we went on 2 years ago) pictures of yoga retreats, pictures of a (single) mum smiling, thriving with 2 kids - many, many LAO quotes and Spiritual symbols I was drawn to.
It seems trivial but it was quite a powerful thing to do and I highly recommend intentional vision boards if you are feeling lost or if you are wanting to go in a certain direction, we are highly visually dominant creatures, so much so we overlook many other senses! So use imagery to point your subconscious in the right direction 👍
Most of what I asked for came true - and the only reason it doesn't live there anymore is because My shop, Love Beyond the Moon, takes over that entire wall 💚💚💚

When I have my retreat in the country I want in the hallway a HUGE version of this where people can choose from a selection to pin up, that resonate with who they are and what they stand for - or where they want to go. Or they could keep or take the pics with them if they need a little reminder.

My retreat will help a lot of people who are as lost and upset as I once was, who are ending a chapter of their life and starting a new one - who need support, understanding and connection - whilst convalescing in the countryside but with a wide range of holistic practices and programmes to feel relief, hope and further along the path to wellness and wholeness again.

But the pictures hung up, there'll be pictures hung in the hallway! Shut up Sarah you waffler!

Thank you for reading - and enjoy the rest of the Easter break ~ Many blessings and much love xx Sarah xx

7 EASY STEPS to recharging and connecting with your Warrior Goddess energy and your Inner Being.

1) Do a quick body scan to ground yourself into the moment. Listen for any 3 sounds. Take note of any 3 things in your physical surroundings. Bring yourself quickly into the moment and your physical body.

2) Imagine yourself growing roots, from either the soles of your feet or your Root Chakra - and these roots reaching through the earth, through the soil, until they connect with ...Crystals - and allow this energy to flow back up to you.

3) Visualize your Crown Chakra opening, a violet swirling energy centre - through this take in the light of the universe.

4) Bring the energy from the earth and the heavens into your body and out through your hands.

5) Rub your hands together and then hold them in the shape of a ball - try to feel the energy between your hands, moving it further apart then closer until it feels right.

6) Bring that energy in and place your hands one over your lower abdomen and one into your solar plexus area.

7) Breathe deeply. A few long slow breaths.

This can be done very quickly, just a few seconds if need be - or longer over meditation. It can be done wide awake or with eyes closed, wherever you are.

The Meaning of the Phoenix ~ What does Phoenix rising mean?

The Meaning of the Phoenix ~ What does the Phoenix symbol mean?

She who rises from the ashes to recreate.

For any of us that have truly felt like we hit rock bottom, that we died within our own lifetime, the Phoenix represents the rising we know is possible.

The rebirth, from experiencing hell to heaven, and true transformation - perhaps the greatest - and maybe, just maybe, what we went through was worth it.

That in order to experience our true glory, fully, we had to surrender to the death of our old life - we had to learn patience, we had to lie in the ashes - lie in the dark, often alone, and learn to heal, to have faith and hold onto hope - that what is actually waiting for us is so magnificent that for a while we can only dare to dream it.

You don't half rise like a phoenix. You wait and you heal and you gather your strength. You learn and you feel and you become wise and you wait some more - you learn about energy and how to conserve it, how to bring it to the table and how to unleash it.

You wait, and you learn all of your lessons, and you heal. Don't rush it. Gather your energy, learn how to master it - get yourself well: physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually..

Even if you feel buried underneath the ashes you know that this is not the end. This is a process. There is a little flicker, a fire, a light - and you know that this is not the end. This is not how it ends.

And you do not know how long it is going to take to gather the strength to rise - but you know that this is not how it ends, and that your ascent is not only possible, it is inevitable.

It is a prophecy for us all, every single one of us has the ability to rise like the phoenix.
If you are underneath the ashes, wounded, know that it is possible.

If you are just waking up, and dusting off the ashes, know that it is true.

If you are healed and flapping your wings, you already know where this will lead you.

The rising will be easy. It is in the groundwork, the preparation, the tending of the soil - that the real work lies.

And when you rise, the other phoenix's who still lie in the ashes - they will see you, and your rising will give them strength and hope and inspiration.

Be patient, and learn alignment, learn self-love, learn to trust your inner being, your intuition...so when the time comes - you KNOW ♡
