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

www.lovebeyondthemoon.etsy.com

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

www.lovebeyondthemoon.etsy.com


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
