WE LIVE IN A STRESSFUL WORLD

Stress kills. It kills the body and it numbs the mind. Stress causes you to lose your ability to experience love, optimism and happiness... and without love, optimism and happiness, a life is not living. Work demands, family needs and personal issues all compete for your attention, stressing you out.

Before too long, your mind feels exhausted by the multitude of competing interests, losing its ability to prioritize. With the ability to process meaning greatly decreased, you start going through the motions, putting out fires, and trying to stay alive, in the face of extensive change and vast unpredictability.

... but life is far more than just merely trying to stay alive. Life is about laughter, and ability to express yourself freely, with no fear of dire consequences. Life is about being loved, and about generously imparting care and concern upon those closest to you.

Life is about structuring your day in such a way as to achieve an optimal blend of work and relaxation: sufficient work to fulfill your need to contribute back to the society, and adequate relaxation to pamper and sooth you, and to recharge your batteries for a bright, new tomorrow.

FIGHTING STRESS AND ANXIETY WITH THE INARI GEM

Ahead of being fashioned into a gemstone, all Inari crystals are carefully examined: only those crystals which possess the right clarity (VS2 and above) and the necessary vivid color (intense blue) are selected to be cut. The Inari gems are cut in the Hearts and Arrows cut.

Normally reserved for the world's best diamonds, the Hearts and Arrows is an extremely precise cut that is time-intensive, and that leaves no room for error. The result is a gemstone that sparkles with immense brilliancy under a wide variety of lighting conditions. In Inari's case, the cut is slightly modified, as to enable the Inari gemstone to emit frequencies conducive to deep mental relaxation.

While being in close proximity to an Inari gemstone, you may feel a welcome state of calm: stress and anxiety dissolve away, negative thoughts are banished, and your mind commences to experience your universe as loving, caring and compassionate. From that positive frame of mind, you may find it easier to express yourself.

Feeling socially empowered, you become more social and persuasive, and you use a vocabulary that is wide and appropriate for the circumstances. Job interviews and sales presentations become a pleasant opportunity for social interaction, rather than anxiety-filled chores. People around you treat you warmly and welcoming, and they rightly view you as friendly, popular and informed.

When work stresses and deadlines clash with family commitments, the influence of the Inari gemstone may improve your ability to prioritize, and can give you increased stamina to successfully power through long and challenging days. Wear Inari for greater happiness, abundance, prosperity and success, and for a better opportunity to live life to its fullest potential.
