Anxiety & Stress Buster Bracelet for Panic Attack Relief

This beautiful bracelet was inspired as an “antidote to Pan”, the god of chaos and misrule, who was believed to be responsible for meddling in the lives of humans, causing mayhem amongst his victims. Indeed, the word ‘panic’ itself is derived from this troublesome fellow, as he was believed to be responsible for all manner of stress, anxiety or mishaps. In today’s modern world, the stresses and anxieties of daily life are still troubling humankind, even if they are no longer attributed to mischievous deities!

This Anxiety Calming Bracelet has been made using beautiful Gemstones threaded onto a waxed cotton cord. I have chosen to use Amazonite, Lepidolite and Lapis Lazuli, separated by spacer beads, with additional Gemstones at each end of the sliding knot. You can choose beautiful diamanté rondelle spacers, or simple silver toned beads. These will be threaded onto waxed cord, with a sliding knot.

Panic Attacks
These can strike at any time, you become caught in their tight grip as you experience a sudden onset of fear or anxiety, your chest tightens, your heart pounds, and you begin to sweat. This can lead to other symptoms, such as tingling or numbness, dizziness, burning and lightheadedness, and you may feel overwhelmed, helpless and terrified.
Once you have had a panic attack in certain situations, for example while driving, shopping in a crowded place, you may develop irrational fears of these situations and begin to avoid them. Eventually, the pattern of avoidance and level of anxiety about another attack may reach the point where you are unable to even step out of the house. Whatever the original cause, panic attacks can have a profound effect on both body and mind, making you feel isolated, overwhelmed and wondering how you can cope.

How can I control a Panic Attack?
When we panic, we have a tendency to stop breathing or take very shallow breaths which makes the attack worse. Slowing down your breathing can help you to feel grounded during a panic attack, using the beads in your bracelet as a focus to help you concentrate on each beat of your heart, as you regain control of your breathing, which slows down your body’s panic response, leading you to a calmer state of mind, releasing tension and stress.

Another way to take some of the power away from the panic attack and regain control is to repeat positive affirmations. Always start your affirmations with ‘I am’
‘I am strong.’ ‘I am in control.’ ‘I am safe.’ ‘I am protected.’ ‘I am calm.’ Whatever is important for you.
Additionally, studies have shown that different colours have a certain affect on the emotions, with colours on the Turquoise spectrum known for their peaceful, calming and restorative properties.

So take back control of your emotions, and this bracelet can soon be in your hands, encircling your wrist with beautiful gemstone beads, enveloping you as it metaphorically surrounds you with calm and healing energies!
