What fun: Several of you wrote to me, asking about my Octopus ring from last week’s article. (If you didn’t read it, CLICK HERE).
So I thought I’d share a bit more about how I use jewelry for inspiration, manifesting and healing –– EVERY DAY.
Because even the simplest reminders of what’s truly important can make a WORLD of difference in the life we live.
And jewelry is one of my FAVORITE ways to do just that.
So to stay on track with my greatest desires – I’ve selected strategic pieces of jewelry to remind me of these very things.
Aside from last week’s Octopus Ring, here are a few of my “jewelry rituals” that I’m using on a DAILY basis throughout this year — to remind me of where I am, who I am, and what I desire:
BONE BRACELET
While I am normally not a “skulls” sort of Gal, I’ve decided to wear this stunningly-intricate, hand-carved bracelet (made from ethically-found buffalo bones) every day this year — to remind me that life has an expiration date, and none of us know when our time will be up… SO ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN!
It’s also a sweet wink to all my ancestors, the Spirits, Souls and Beings that are always here to love and support us, 24-7.
MANIFESTATION BEADS
These are one of my MOST prized possessions! I hand-strung 100 crystals into a very special necklace (you could use any necklace or beaded bracelet).
And while I do wear it sometimes on special occasions, I use it EVERY single day as a part of my morning ritual.
I sit down (NAKED!) in front of the mirror… look into my own eyes… and as I hold each bead, I say something powerfully-loving to myself.
- Whether it’s simply chanting “I love you”…
- Or bringing loving attention to all the parts of myself I struggle to accept…
- Or simply a powerful, positive affirmation for each and every bead…
I do at least one set of 100 – and sometimes more, as I have the time.
Pssst: If you’re an affirmation-girl, one of my FAVORITE affirmations (from the book “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks) is:
“I expand in abundance, success and love everyday – as I inspire others around me to do the same!”
(It cracks me open every time…)
GRATITUDE-STONE “JEWELRY” RITUAL
This is a newer ritual I’ve added to my awareness-arsenal –– inspired by one of my mentors, Mary O’Malley. Here’s how it goes…
I selected 2 bowls, which I have sitting on my dresser…(any 2 bowls will work.)
One of my bowls is carved from a light, beautiful earthy stone — which I decided would represent the life that is left to live.
The other bowl is a midnight blue and sparkling gold – representing the mysteries of the Universe.
At the beginning of every month, I place 30+ stones from my personal crystal-collection – one for every upcoming day. (Adjust the number accordingly.)
Then every morning I gaze into the light stone bowl, thank the Universe for the gift of the day… and close my eyes to randomly select that day’s stone with my left hand.
Then I place it into a crocheted-pouch that I wear as a necklace all throughout the day.
At the end of every day, I remove the stone, and place it into the midnight blue bowl with my right hand… releasing it back into the mysteries of life, as I honor the blessing of getting one more day on this Earth.
(Thank you Mary for this beautiful idea!)
”UNSTOPPABLE” NECKLACE
My personal healing and spiritual journey, as well as my mentorship work with beautiful women like you, is the core foundation of my entire life… it seemed only fitting to wear an “Unstoppable” necklace each and every day — to remind me of how soulfully-strong and INFINITE I truly am.
The “U” also reminds me of a lucky horseshoe – open and ready to receive all the goodness the Universe wants to throw my way!
And of course, the “U” is a symbol of my Unstoppable You® business: Because we ALL are Spirit at our core — unshakeable, unbreakable, unending, and UNLIMITED!
So I hope you enjoyed a few ideas from my own jewelry-box — FUN ways to bring lightness and love and attention to anything you hold near-and-dear.
It’s not to say that these things alone have transformed me. But EVERY reminder is one more positive step toward alignment, self love and Unstoppability!
Every time I stop to give thanks, smile, and remember something pure and true… I’m changed in that moment. (Especially when life gets tough, challenging or utterly overwhelming…)
…Perhaps you have a special sacred symbol that you could incorporate into YOUR day, too? I’d love to hear what you end up wearing to remind YOU of your absolute perfection!
Till next time…
BIG LOVE!
