This month’s theme is “Future Self” ~  The New Year marks a time for us to get more deeply in touch with our indwelling spirit as we reflect on the past and project our visions for the future. It’s a time when we can  identify important lessons, challenge limiting beliefs, embrace self-love and get clear about our most genuine and authentic intentions.  The jewelry pieces we’re gifting you this January will help enhance your meditative state to support a deeper inward reflection, purify your spirit of any  negative energies, bring balance to your emotions and connect you to the Divine so you can remain clear and open to your own spiritual directions.  As your spirit is wrapped in loving energy, your sense of passion will be reawakened in a way that will guide you toward greater personal fulfillment now and in future months to come!

Informational Card

Crown Chakra Amethyst Necklace  This was our spoiler for this month and I have to say, it looks much better in person!!  This has an antiqued dirty gold-tone chain, about 28 inches in length.  It has a lobster claw clasp, but I can just slip this over my neck.  If you want to make it a choker, then the lobster clasp will come in handy.   The pendant is made of 2 pieces ~ the heart chakra in an airy design in the same antiqued gold tone metal, about 1.5 inches in length and then a oblong amethyst stone, very dark purple, about 3/4 inch in length, topped off by a clear quartz bead.  The total length of the pendant piece is about 2 3/4 inches, making this necklace almost 31 inches in length.   This is very beautifully done and is perfect for winter sweaters. RV $85.00

Amethyst:  Balancing the Crown Chakra, Third Eye and Crown Chakras and is the color of Spirituality

Amethyst promotes emotional centering.  Metaphysically amethyst encourages you to develop common sense and to become more emotionally centered and focused.  Amethyst is especially beneficial when worn over the throat or heart chakras and also can help with insomnia. If you place a piece of amethyst under your pillow at night it is said to help nightmares and assist in a more restful sleep. It is also said to help enhance prophetic dreams when placed under ones pillow at night or worn as a piece of jewelry while sleeping.  source

Crown Chakra – The Seventh Chakra: The crown or the seventh chakra is located at the top of the head. Just as the Root or First Chakra connects us to the Mother Earth, the Crown Chakra is our connection to the Universe. In fact, the Seventh Chakra disperses the Universal energy or life force into the six other chakras located below it. In Sanskrit, the Crown Chakra is termed as the Sahasrara (the ‘thousand fold’ Chakra), since it is pictured as a lotus having thousand white petals.  Learn more at Color Meanings

Adjustable Rose Quartz Stone Bracelet  I love the adjustable bracelets from Yogi Surprise ~ it makes everyone happy!  This looks to adjust from a 6 inch to a 10 inch bracelet and has 11 light pink, rose quartz beads on a champagne colored adjustable cord.  The adjustable ends also have two rose quartz beads hanging from each end.  RV $38.00

Rose Quartz ~ Primary Chakra: Heart-Chakra  Rose Quartz is the stone for unconditional love.  It helps open the heart to all love ~ self, family, friends, romantic.  Quartz stones have a high energy vibe, but it is also soothing and calming.   This energy helps bring about empathy, forgiveness, reconciliation and removes anger, envy and resentment.  It also us to heal and remove those negative emotions.   Rose Quartz also can attract romantic love, add loving energy into current relationships and can help soothe and heal a broken heart.  Learn more at Healing Crystals

 

Missionary Chocolates (2 Piece Vegan Truffle Box) OOh, this box contains 2 pieces of gluten and dairy free, vegan truffles: Dark Chocolate  Delight and Vanilla Salted Caramel. This is made in the Portland, Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest and the award winning chocolatier used to be a naturopapthic physician! Made with fair trade chocolate.  RV $6.00 

What a lovely box from  Yogi Surprise!   I totally am surprised by how much I love the necklace as the spoiler didn’t make it look very attractive.  The bracelet is easy to wear and works for so many wrist sizes. The truffles look so yummy and I love that I got two different flavors in the box!  This box has a Yogi Surprise retail value of $129.00, which I rarely pay attention to.  I go by the value of the pieces to me, and this box is worth what I spent on it!  Part of the proceeds from this box will go back to the local artisans that made these items and help educate their community.
