Necklace Testimonial



I am publishing this with permission of the writer, who shall be known as JK. She felt her story was to be shared.  It is true that a necklace can serve to remind one of one's inner strength and resilience. I have edited a bit for length.  We hope you enjoy it!

I want to share with you the joy, healing and light that my necklace that I purchased from you has brought. Your role in this life-story was significant- LITTLE DID YOU KNOW AT THE TIME! Firstly, I must tell you, I am an 25 year old unemployed student who does not have (but does not necessarily miss) alot of extravagance in my life. I don't usually ''treat'' myself to expensive necklace form the other side of the world. 

When I saw this necklace, it really struck me that my thoughts were not of ''would I like to buy a necklace?'' but rather ''that necklace is for me, HOW do I get it here?'' It is not very often that these thoughts-streams catch me off-guard, I am usually pretty in-touch with my inner-guide but the feeling and drive was so intense that to not bring that necklace to my neck (regardless of earthly finance and logic), just never even entered my thoughts.

After I made the order with you and made sure the address was confirmed, I thought no more of it because I didn't know when it would arrive so I trusted in that. 

The following day I found a lump under my arm and suddenly, every thought and positive intensity from the day before was no longer able to register with me. I cannot describe just how caught up I got after visiting a doctor and having to wonder whether my life (and therefore my death) was something I now needed to contemplate as a whole (rather than a process). It truly is an all-enveloping experience that I would not wish on any soul. Samples were sent to labs, medical histories were taken and considered, and then waiting... a long long wait.

During this ''limbo'', I tried to create opportunities to sit and meditate with my Self. Usually in crisis, I held a pattern of throwing all positive practices of well-being out the bloody window, throw my hands up in the air and hysterically question 'Why God? Why meeeeeeeeee?' I don't know what was different this time. It isn't something that I can even now pin point. It was one of the few times (in crisis) in my life that I accepted (even acknowledged) and was comforted (!) by the co-creative relationship that i KNOW exists between God and I. (Sometimes I have chosen to forget this knowledge- after all, I'm perfect in my flaws). 

All the physical indicators (and furrow lines on my doctors face) I was experiencing had suggested to me that rather than fearing a result that I hadn't even gotten yet, I needed to accept the process I was going through (almost regardless of the result!). I needed to know that I was still Standing in my own Power, and always will be - if I can accept and acknowledge, that a medical diagnosis of cancer or otherwise, cannot change Who I Am. Of course this realisation only came to me about a day before my appointment to get the results of the tests. 

Stay with me now, I'm getting to the reason why I decided to write to you! 

I did go to the doctor. I don't have cancer. She had said that it was the first time in her medical career that someone with similar physical indicators and blood tests got a test result that she did not foresee. Some tests she sends off with results unknown until she receives them, but my tests she had suggested ''had been mere formality as far as I was concerned''; that she had already ''known'' the outcome...

When I came home that day (having not been able to talk for an hour and rambling around the city instead), my house-mate came to me and said, ''Oh, by the way, a package arrived for you around lunchtime yesterday but I knew you were meditating so I didn't call you. Here you go...'' And of course, you can guess it, it was my beautiful necklace :-)

On reflection, now that I can share this story, I can equate the arrival of my necklace into my personal space (even if not around my neck at that time) with the moments of realisation and acceptance that helped me realise an immense inner-strength and resiliency that I had never tapped into before! It was a moment of sincere realisation of MORE of my potential TOWARDS my FULL potential. 

When I ordered this necklace, none of this health scare had started yet. Little did I know how my spirit had already started the process of sending me the help, symbols and healing that i was ABOUT to need during that time! I often wonder if I hadn't trusted my spirit (and this necklace), what lesson would the Universe have given me to learn? If the lesson I learned was about co-creation of life and Standing in my Own Power (and if I hadn't learned it in that time)- what would my medical test results have been? Would it have then taken a severe medical condition in order for me (my Spirit) to REALISE (i.e. make real) these lessons/potential? I can't say that it wouldn't have taken that. 

The catalyst, I truly believe, was the synergy (and energy) that came with this beautiful necklace- that step, that little listening (and accepting) of Guidance that I had taken, redirected my life-path (and cut out a few cul-de-sacs on this life-journey). I feel like I've been re-connected with my Spirit and that I'm learning to accept and hold the easy lessons and the Universe is co-creating that with my by no longer needing to send me harder lessons to learn though (e.g. cancer).

I've no doubt you have heard many stories like mine before but I felt truly drawn towards sharing this with you anyway. Thank you for being part of my learning process, even if you weren't even aware of it at the time. I'll never take for granted the tiny ripple that your hands made in the huge wave of learning that my life has become... and is becoming!!

So thank you... and some day, I may even thank you in person! -JK

Yes, you can share my story with others. Please do! Story-telling is how we know we live- reacting, resounding and reflecting our lives from and to, one another. It connects us. Maybe this story will in turn become the tiny ripple in someone else's huge wave of life? Wouldn't that be wonderful??? :-)-JK
