Hope PTSD Awareness Healing and Grounding Bracelet



This grounding bracelet promotes awareness of Post-traumatic stress disorder. It is made with howlite beads that were dyed to be similar in color to turquoise. Teal is the color used for promoting awareness about PTSD.

Posttraumatic stress disorder can occur to anyone who's been through a trauma. According to the National Center for PTSD, 7-8% of the population will have PTSD at some point in their lives.

I was diagnosed with PTSD last summer. I was raised by a mentally ill mother and grew up in an emotionally and mentally abusive environment. I'm on the path to healing and doing very well. My PTSD and healing is actually what got me started making bracelets. I first made a bracelet for myself using semi-precious gemstones for their healing energies, because I felt like it would help me to have something physical I could hold onto. I really feel like my bracelet has helped me stay grounded when I'm having panic attacks or disassociating.

That's why I made these bracelets. I'm hoping they will help others the way they've helped me.

Howlite is a calming stone; it aids in sleeping, calming the overactive mind, and stress relief. Physically it calms the whole body and relieves muscle tension. It helps control anger, and relieves stress and anxiety, by absorbing negative energy.

The bracelet is about 7 inches long, not including the toggle clasps.

Yoga Open House

So, I've been getting ready for an event at my yoga studio this Saturday. They're having a small open house and opened it to local artists to come in sell their stuff. So, I contacted them and signed up to try and sell some of my bracelets. It's a very tiny event; the studio owner said they have room for maybe 10 vendors.

I'm excited, and nervous. This is my first time doing anything like this. I'm glad it's a small event and with my yoga studio, so I think I'll feel comfortable and I won't be triggered for any anxiety or panic attacks. I don't expect to it get crowded, but even if it does I'll be behind my table so I'll be able to maintain my personal space.

I've been making a lot of healing yoga themed bracelets. I bought a bunch of stones to represent the chakra colors, and a bunch of neat charms. I got some nice Om and Buddha head charms, and lotus flower charms from Zenbu Trading Co on Etsy. Then I got these adorable yoga position charms- they have a silver human figure in a yoga pose inside a silver circle- from Art Passions Design on Etsy. The poses are tree, downward facing dog, and warrior 1. They're so cute. I love them. I think they're kind of unique too. I'm hoping people at the open house will like them too.


Yoga Themed Healing Chakra Bracelets by Geeky Bead Designs

Here's a quick picture that I took with my phone of the finished bracelets so far. I really like them.

Anything I have left over, I'll be putting up in my Etsy shop.
