Ah, Autumn,
It's that time of year when the leaves are turning, the air is crisp, the kids are back in school and life is good. Or is it?
Sadly, not everyone looks forward to Fall. Many people are greatly affected by SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. The reduction in sunlight and daytime hours can make you feel mildly depressed, or more tired and grouchy than usual. Some experience extreme reactions that affect their ability to live their lives.
Last week as I was pondering what to put in the newsletter, I received at least 6 email newsletters all talking about Happiness. Hmmm, is this a sign? So here it is, some of the thoughts I gathered and would like to share with you.
I know that just being told "Be Happy" when you're depressed can not only make you feel more depressed but make you angry as well. I don't mean in any way to say to anyone suffering from serious depression that you should just choose to be happy. Hopefully you're not in the dumps right now and that just maybe some of the ideas and tips we share with you will be uplifting and helpful.
Surprisingly just wearing a Shield CAN help you stay in a more positive mood. In addition to the articles in this newsletter, we have many other articles about how the Shield can not only protect you from EMF but improve your mood, your ability to cope and your quality of life. Look at the bottom of the articles below for links to more info.
I was at a networking meeting last month when Anna B (not her real name) stood up and publicly thanked me for the Shield I sold her last year. She explained that she suffers from extreme SAD starting in September and lasting usually through April.
Last year with a Shield she was in much better spirits and laughingly said, "I didn't want to constantly lash out at my family, they didn't drive me nuts and we're all still alive. Also, although professionally I was going through a difficult transition with the death of our company owner, I was more able to move out of fear and into a place of trust. Thank you." When she sat down, I had tears in my eyes.
(I've asked her for a written testimonial and permission to use her name, but she's been out of the country recently and hasn't gotten back to me)
Here's an email we received last winter from a new Shield wearer.
I'm Happier, More in Control
I purchased a Shield about 2 months ago. I get quite a few complements on it; more important is how I feel wearing it. I feel calmer, happier, and more in control. I have been treated for Seasonal Affective Disorder for 2 years, and just recently realized that I haven't used my light box for 2 months! Any other time, I would have felt draggy and grumpy within a week or two. This is a great product!

Here's another story about a girl who went from suicidal to awesome in about a month.
It's stories like these that drive us. We know the Shield makes a difference and our mission is to make the world a better place, one Shield, one person at a time.
If you don't have a Shield, give it a try. If you know family members or friends who could benefit, please share this information with them.
Happy Halloween

Is There Really a "Happiness" Gene?
| 
The short answer is "yes" - there is a gene, which according to behavioral geneticists, helps people see a glass half full rather than half empty.
Researchers have also found that genetics create a "set point" for happiness, and everyone has their own personal level.
However, genetics only explains about half of our happiness level, while life circumstances, those things beyond our control, account for another 10%. This means that the other 40% of our happiness level is determined by our own choices and actions!
Even if the gene passed you by, you can rev up your Happiness Quotient
This is great news and means that you can decide to be happier; all you need to do is make the effort.
Here's how to jump start you on the road to jovial bliss:

You Are Not Broken
|
 Do you ever wonder if something's seriously wrong with you?
Are you worried that you're not 'normal' or that life has broken you in some way?
Do you feel like you're not good enough, strong enough or *whatever* enough to do your Great Work?
It's all *#$%, you know. I used to think that the reason there were different parts of me was because I had been broken. I believed that my mind had been shattered by early-childhood trauma and that, until the pieces were fit back together properly, I would never be healthy or whole again. For years, many well-meaning therapists instilled this in me. They patiently explained how the mind, in a heroic effort to protect its core self, will split apart in times of great trauma. These splits can become more pronounced if the person is very young or the trauma is especially intense. Every single one of us has those old stories and nasty messages running through our heads. Some of us know where they came from, others don't. That's not important. What's important is that... Each of us has the power to rewrite them. |

The Positive Power Of Happiness
| |
It is simple and easy to be happy.
The hard part is convincing yourself, and getting past your own resistance to happiness.
You might assume that just because things are one way or another, there is no possibility of happiness.
Yet that assumption is entirely mistaken.
You know precisely how to be happy, how to create the feeling of happiness within yourself and how to express it within any context.
You've done it many times in a whole lot of different situations.

Don't Forget - Your Shield Needs to Be Recharged
|
 Hang Shield in natural light either in a window, or preferably, outside (but only if you have a very secure place). (More info about recharging) We usually just keep it on the cord or chain, and loop it over a lawn chair. This allows it to hang freely and absorb the energy from the sun. (Be sure you secure the loop by wrapping around something, then pull Shield through the loop, pull to make sure it can't come off, birds do like shiny objects)
IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A SUNNY DAY for you to recharge your Shield. It's not the light that the shield needs; it's the energy vibration from the sun that recharges the crystals. However, bright sunlight does make it charge faster. So, if it's sunny, leave it out for 3 continuous hours; if cloudy, for 6 continuous hours. If you are hanging it in a window that blocks certain parts of the light spectrum, leave it for 8 hours.  DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SHIELD OUT IN THE MOONLIGHT! The moon is reflected energy from the sun, thus it pulls energy away from your Shield. If you ever forget, hang your Shield out for twice as many hours as it was left in the moonlight. To insure it is functioning at 100%, you can send it in for recharging and repolishing. Our consultant examines each Shield that is sent in to make sure it has received a full charge from our crystal room.
Suggestion for worry-free recharging: Recharge your Shield during the New Moon (dark) phase. That way if you do forget and leave it out overnight, there's no harm done, as there is no moonlight shining on it to drain it. ROOM SHIELD NOTE: Your Room Shield is constantly recharging using the ambient light in the room. Unless you have it in a completely windowless room, you don't need to recharge your Room Shield. If you haven't charged your Shield regularly for more than two years, you may want to get it recharged by us in our Montana crystal charging circle.
POLISHING It's summer and silver and brass both tend to tarnish more when it's hot, humid and you're, well, sweaty. Sorry, just can't think of a better way to say it.
You can polish your silver chains and Shields with any commercial silver polish. Brass can be cleaned with Brass or other brass cleaners.
Or you can order our treated polishing cloths - they do a great job, and no liquid mess. I just saw a video discussing various polishing cloths, and this one was judged the best on the market by professional jewelers. Order your polishing kit
NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING ON POLISHING KITS - If this is your only item, our system will charge you between $8&$9, (Our system just can't fathom that we can put them in an envelope and ship) Go ahead and select that option and to make up for the shipping overcharge we'll send you TWO polishing kits.
