Calling all 'fashionistas' and 'intentionistas', if you like your jewelry with Style AND Meaning, this #Giveaway is for YOU!

#SPONSORED: This Giveaway is Sponsored by: (see full disclosure statement below)

Ascending Butterfly began in 2009 with daily breathing affirmational meditations, for the first year we focused daily and exclusively on mind, body and soul wellness as a path to overall wellbeing. If our spirits are out of balance, invariably our bodies will be too.

I have had the pleasure of partnering with a wide variety of intention jewelry designers and sharing their amazing designs with you. I'm a fan of bold, statement jewelry, and when that jewelry is also intention based for me it's a super powerful combination that helps me feel more attuned to myself and the energy I'm putting forward.

I have had penpals my whole life, we all share a love of stationery and the fine art of putting our thoughts to paper. It is one of my penpals who introduced me to prayer boxes, a tradition she shared with her mother, that I was introduced to when she gifted me one for a birthday many years ago. Years later I discovered the power of using pyramids to make new moon wishes or new years goals and putting the paper inside of them. (I have a red pyramid I like to use to make New Years Goals for myself, on my birthday, NOT on New Years Eve and I also use it to add New Moon wishes throughout the year) it resides in my Meditation area.

After years of using my prayer box and my Pyramid, I hit on a stroke of brilliance, it's just so smart, I only wish I had invented this myself, a core cuff bracelet that allows you to carry intentions with you everyday in the form of super stylishly designed jewelry with a hidden secret inside!

BuDhaGirl Core Cuff Bracelet
“Clear your mind, breathe, and visualize intention(s) for the day. Think of it as a personal ritual.”

BuDhaGirl Core Cuff Bracelet

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - The BuDhaGirl Core Cuff is a jewelry piece with pedigree. Based on an extraordinary 1930's French creation, this modern version will hold your intention 'Reminders' in style!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Stainless Steel micron plated in 18kt gold that is finished and polished by hand

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Resin Bars add a modernist Art Deco Style

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ- Opening coffer lid reveals compartment to add your BuDhaGirl Reminder Daily (you can interchange with a large assortment of beautiful reminder inserts)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Weight: 3 oz

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Includes: Golden Guanyin First Level Reminder

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Packaged in a gorgeous acrylic Temple Display Box

How it works:



I included the YouTube Video on the Cuff because I thought it would be helpful for you to see it in action, it's a super fast, super simple way to align yourself to your intentions and be more vibrationally aligned to your purpose!


How I styled it: Jewelry: I am wearing the BuDhaGirl Core Cuff Bracelet in the color 'Jade', Handbag: Elliott Lucca Blue Cordoba Flap Front Shoulder Bag (in 'Teal' Exotic),  Jeans: Coldwater Creek Denim Bootcut Trouser Jeans

My Take:

I am living in this bracelet, I've used it daily to add pizazz to more casual outfits as well as with dressier outfits, and it has turned heads each and every single time I've worn it, I am absolutely obsessed with my BuDhaGirl Core Cuff Bracelet and with BuDhaGirl and I want to get ALL the extra intention reminders for my bracelet now! I have my eye on the 'Healing Buddha' reminder next!


The artwork on the reminders that go inside the cuff are simply beautiful, and also if you use a very thin paper you can also write your own intention and add it to it, I love that the reminders also have Mantras that you can say as you slip them inside the cuff out loud and then do it again silently during the day anytime you want.


I couldn't imagine a more perfect collaboration, Ascending Butterfly and BuDhaGirl are definitely a match made in intentional living and spirituality heaven!

Today's Words of Inspiration - Nature's Secret


@ Dean Forbes

Today's Quote:

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

After a day mostly spent handling back-to-back conference calls, I decided to get out and spend the remainder of the afternoon in the park. It was when I got home that I realized just how much that small window of time spent in the sun did for my spirits. I arrived at the park feeling tired and left feeling re-energized. There is very little time left of summer, fall will be here very soon! I love this quote, and thought it was perfect for today. Nature is still, and being out in nature is my favorite reminder that our soul truly requires stillness. It recharges our spiritual and emotional batteries.

And better still? I had 3 butterfly sightings while I was there, and one was a Monarch!

Today's Challenge: Be still in Nature. Meditation is wonderful, but can you take your meditation to a park or a beach today? Even a 'walking meditation' will work wonders for the spirit!

Today's Breathing Affirmation: Close your eyes, take a deep, slow breath in through your nose, and affirm "I am always home in the universe, I am a being at Peace."

Today's Words of Inspiration! + Official Winner's Announcement





Just Change One Letter

Did you know that something as simple as changing one letter can change your whole perspective?

Let The Bangles have their 'Manic Monday', I'd rather delete the 'N' and put in a 'G'. Make mine a 'Magic Monday' please!

Do you remember the things that once struck you as magical when you were young? The moon always following your car when you'd stare out the window during a night drive? Unicorns? Santa?

Remember if you are with me that 'attitude really does altitude', then small shifts in your perspective that help change your attitude today as this new work week commences will certainly change your altitude!

A good quote to keep in mind as this new week begins is as follows:

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. ~John Wooden

Today's Words of Inspiration'
 
Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'There is no limit to what I can achieve today.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Today's Butterfly sponsored by:



I'm sure the name Energy Muse is quite familiar to you by now. We worked with them last year for a very special Holiday Giveaway (you can read that HERE) and they also recently contributed to our Mid-Month Moment of Health Special Feature about the physical and spiritual benefits of the practice of Yoga. (You can re-visit that article HERE).

Today has been an especially stressful day, and I've had to call upon every tool in my arsenal to remain on an even keel! Sometimes finding balance in the stillness of meditation doesn't always happen, and it's a balance of meditation, yoga and some stillness that does the trick.

So Are Your Chakras in Line?



First of all, What Are They?

Chakras are energy locations in the body that regulate the flow of energy through the body. There are seven main energy centers known as chakras in the body. They are spirals of energy, each one relating to the others. Using the seven colors of the spectrum, Color Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body’s chakras and also to help stimulate the body’s own healing process. Color Therapy uses color to re-balance the Chakras that have become depleted of energy.

Color has a profound effect, not just on our moods, but on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. If our energies become blocked or depleted, then our body cannot function properly and this, in turn, can lead to a variety of problems. Practitioners of holistic medicine who believe in the importance of treating body, mind and spirit understand that Color Therapy can be so helpful since color addresses all levels of our being.

The Seven Chakras

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Root chakra: This is the first and lowest chakra, located in the perineum. It's believed to govern your basic survival instincts. The root chakra is represented by the color red.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Sacral chakra: This second chakra is located level to your naval, and governs your creative and emotional energies. It's represented by the color orange.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Solar plexus chakra: The third chakra is located at about the same level as the bottom of your sternum. It's thought to govern your energy and activity levels. It's represented by the color yellow.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Heart chakra: The fourth chakra, located at heart level, is said to govern love and relationships. It's represented by the color green, but can progress to rose for those who learn to love unconditionally.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Throat chakra: This fifth chakra governs your ability to communicate and take action. It's represented by the color blue.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Brow chakra: Chakra number six governs your spirituality, intuition and thoughts. It is sometimes referred to as the "third eye", and is represented by a deep purple color.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Crown chakra: This seventh and final chakra governs understanding and wisdom. It is represented by either violet or white.


Freedom Bead Necklace in Action


@Pablo Lomelli 2011

Be free to wrap and wear how you choose. These Balinese colored glass beads are made from recycled glass. Each bead has a unique shape and finish. The colored glass is hand strung with a natural cotton cord that compliments the casual and rough finish of the beads. Feel the Bali spirit, wear them and be FREE!
Whether or not you put faith in Yoga and the benefits of it's regular practice or even into the concept of chakras, there's no denying that the Freedom Bead Necklace is certainly attractive in it's own right! With the high levels of stress I've had to deal with this week, having an extra tool in my arsenal to help re-balance my energies is just what the Doctor ordered!

Pros:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - GREEN - And by 'green' I don't just mean the color of some of the beads! The fact that the beads are recycled means our planet's energies and resources were not depleted. The Recycled Glass beads, in addition to being pretty, are very much eco friendly!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - LENGTH - I truly appreciate the length of this necklace. I can wear it long, and I can also double it for less length and a greater visual impact with the color.

Cons:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - None! Pretty and Truly Functional, what's not to love?

Can a piece of jewelry remove all stress from your life? No.

But what this necklace can do, with effort on your part is to enable you to keep the energies flowing and in balance. With your energies in balance, you are truly free, so it's name 'Freedom Beads Necklace' couldn't be more appropriate!

Today's Words of Inspiration - Do You Have Permission?


Not Quite 'Mother May I?' But Close

Did you know that you have to have permission?

To Succeed.
To Prosper.
To Attract and Retain Successful Relationships and Partnerships.

And it's not quite from WHO you think. It's not from your boss, your mom, or your partner. It's from yourself. Habits and behaviors form and then continue to repeat themselves in direct correlation to our thoughts.

What you tell yourself you can't do, is just as profound as what you keep telling yourself you can do. But if you are telling yourself BOTH without even realizing it, then you find yourself on a hamster wheel. A never ending Hamster Wheel where your life becomes the wheel and you expel tons of energy both physically and emotionally and yet you don't progress. You sometimes feel like you are not even moving an inch. You lead a life in conflict. Conflict with yourself.

Today's Words of Inspiration'

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'I give myself to permission to succeed, to prosper, to attract and retain harmonious and successful partnerships.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Monday In Balance

Today the Moon, ruler of our emotions is in the sign of Libra, the scales. This gives us prime opportunity to start our Monday (also known as 'Moon-day') in balance.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'I inhale balance and exhale stress.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Today's Words of Inspiration - No Excuses!



 Excuses, Excuses  
"Ninety-Nine Percent Of The Failures Come From People Who Have The Habit Of Making Excuses". ~ George Washington Carver
Why haven't you accomplished your biggest goal? (Insert Excuses Here) Are you what you wanted to be when you grew up? (No? Then Insert Excuses Here)

Today's Challenge: Eliminate The Excuses

I am not going to sugarcoat this one or say that this easy to do. I understand full well that casting excuses aside and going for your biggest dream is sometimes way easier said than done. But what I want you to explore today, is Why is that? If you can get to the root of the Excuse you can learn how to overcome it.

There is no shame in failure. Think of your failures like facets on a Diamond, they were sent to polish you and ultimately make you more beautiful. Make you stronger and more confident in who you are. They teach you what you really value in life. What you really want out of life, and by all means what you absolutely won't accept. These are powerful things to know!

Today's Words of Inspiration'

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'In times of challenge I summon the power within to rise to occassion. I cast aside all of my perceived excuses on the road to my success.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Today's Words of Inspiration - The Ultimate Measure of A Man!



 What Ruler are YOU using?
  
"The Ultimate Measure of a Man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". ~ Martin Luther King Jr
Where do you stand in times of challenge and controversy? How do you measure a man? By his words? His Deeds? His Bottom line?

Now, how do you measure yourself? By your words, your deeds or your bottom line? Why?

Today's Challenge: Rise to the Occassion

I've learned challenges do not take a vacation! Hurdles will keep coming at you. Today the nation comes together to celebrate the life and death of Martin Luther King, Jr. We honor his vision. We honor the way he managed to continue to rise to the occassion WITH integrity despite the obstacles he faced. With integrity and without blame. With Courage even though there was much to fear. Learn new ways to measure success, so you can know the triumph of success in your own life. Reflect on what ruler you are using to measure success in your own life. Without knowing what success means to you, how can you achieve it?

Today's Words of Inspiration'

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'In times of challenge and controversy I summon the power within to rise to occassion. I am a victor.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.
