Like many businesses right now, our company has been working remotely to adhere to social distancing and stay-at-home guidelines. Every so often, we get together on Zoom for a face-to-face meeting, where we not only discuss work but also connect with one another to see how we’re all doing.
In sharing what we’ve experienced personally and heard from friends and family, we realized that there are some common issues people are dealing with as a result of this pandemic. Aside from the obvious lifestyle changes, many are feeling anxious, having trouble sleeping, struggling to focus, and feeling directionless in the face of the unknown.
We’ll address all of these issues in upcoming blog posts, but here, I’d like to focus on those that relate to the mental body.
Inability to Focus
Staying focused can be especially difficult when working from home, where there are so many other things competing for your attention. The more you try to ignore them and the more they test your resolve, the more drained your mental body can become.
This starts a downward spiral. As your mind gets tired, it becomes harder to ignore distractions, and it can start to feel like you’ve lost control of your attention. You often catch yourself spacing out, or you notice you’re on your third cup of coffee when you usually drink only one. The truth is, stimulants may work only in the short term. Eventually, the mind needs nourishment or it will shut down, at which point you’ll feel too exhausted to work at all.
The Earth gives us everything we need to prosper, including the gemstone remedies to ease our energetic issues. Mental depletion is one of them, and Blue Sapphire & White Beryl can help.
The mind thrives on the blue ray that Blue Sapphire provides. Sunlight gives us a great deal of the color rays our body needs to stays healthy, but the blue color is also needed in other areas, notably our blood vessels and nerve sheathes. As circumstances raise our blood pressure and rattle our nerves, the blue ray goes where it’s needed to keep the body in balance. Because the blue ray is needed elsewhere, the mind may not receive the extra support it needs to stay focused among distractions.
We add symbiotic White Beryl to our Blue Sapphire necklaces to clear blockages and relieve stagnated energy flows that prevent the mind from working at its best.
Feeling Directionless
We are hearing that many people are dealing with a sense of fear that stems from uncertainty about the future. They feel a lack of motivation, low energy, and a growing disinterest in life. No one is sure what will happen to the economy, our jobs, our health, and the health of our loved ones. How will our lives be affected? When will this be over? Will things ever be “normal” again? This not knowing can be disconcerting, to say the least.
Something I’ve learned about fear is that the more attention it is given, the more strongly it can take hold. An antidote is to continue moving toward the realization of your dreams, taking course adjustments as needed, but always keeping the goal in heart and mind. Doing so keeps the heart open, the spirits up, and the momentum going.
To support this, the gemstone kingdom offers Azurite-Malachite, Amethyst, and Onyx, which make up our Manifest Destiny formula. This gemstone formula can help you reconnect and stay connected with your purpose for this lifetime. It’s a remedy for feeling directionless.
Lack of Peace
Whether it’s because the kids won’t be quiet, the inner gristmill won’t stop grinding, or the tension headaches won’t relent, it’s clear there’s a need for mental stress relief. The gemstone kingdom offers various options.
Blue Chalcedony, the primary gemstone in our Tranquility formula, offers calming effects on the mental body, which are dearly needed by people today.
We pair Blue Chalcedony with Blue Sapphire to give the mind enough nourishment that it can relax, and with Blue Topaz to help the mind let go of anything preventing it from rest.
Wearing Tranquility can help you find the peace of mind you may not have enjoyed for quite some time.
Necklace Combination Ideas
You may enjoy wearing Tranquility and Blue Sapphire & White Beryl together to enhance the gems’ mental nourishing benefits. These include an enhanced sense of clarity, flexibility, and ability to concentrate.
When you wear Manifest Destiny, put it on first and then call in any other healing gemstone necklace. The nature of the other necklace will give you clues as to what aspect of your life needs to be nourished or cleared in order for you to move forward.
If Tranquility is drawn to you while you’re wearing Manifest Destiny, it can mean that you need to let go of some rigid beliefs and relax your mind to receive new ideas and possibilities. If Blue Sapphire & White Beryl is chosen next, it can mean that your mind needs extra nourishment to help you solve the problems confronting you at this time. With these gems’ energetic support, you’ll be more able to resolve them and continue on your journey to fulfilling your purpose.
