Unsurprisingly most people will experience some form of nerves in the run-up to and on their wedding day… you’re not alone and it’s normal! For today’s article, we have yoga expert Deborah Green of Deborah Green Yoga who talks to us about how to calm your wedding nerves using the power of crystals alongside mantras and positive affirmations. These activities can be done anywhere and anytime you feel your nerves are spiralling in a bid to bring your anxiety down and find your zen once again…
“When you feel your nerves are spiralling and you just need 5 minutes to find your zen, here are 3 crystals, Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Moonstone along with some beautiful affirmations that will guide you back to YOU, so you feel grounded, at ease & are able to truly enjoy and appreciate every single part of your day. Choose the crystal that you are most attracted to, and trust your intuition as you will be naturally drawn to a particular crystal. Once you have chosen your crystal, wash it and let it dry in the sunlight or moonlight.
Find a quiet space in your home, and simply become aware of your breath, aware of the energy of your chosen crystal as you hold it in your hand. Sit comfortably without any distractions, including your phone, and feel your breath moving through your body, feel that your beautiful belly is soft and relaxed.”
