Jet Lag Rescue

Some of you will be traveling the next few weeks and we thought it was a good time to start talking about jet lag and what to do about it.


Jet lag can affect people of all ages and the people going on this trip are in their early twenties, but that really doesn't make a difference, because this is the result of your internal body clock not being able to adjust immediately to a new time zone, it's not about age.

Jet lag can disturb your sleep at night and make you feel tired during the day, and it can cause digestion problems.

Jet lag isn't to be confused with general travel fatigue and it doesn't matter what type of aircraft, seat, fast boarding, or the class of travel you're using.

So then, what is jet lag?

The world is divided into 24 different time zones. Your body's internal clocks control 24-hour circadian rhythms, which are messed up after crossing time zones.

Your body clock affects your sleeping and waking pattern, as well as circadian rhythms in:

* appetite 

* digestion 

* bowel habits 

* urine production 

* body temperature 

* blood pressure 

When you travel across time zones, you body and mind needs time to adjust to a new  schedule and daily routine at your new destination.

What can you do about it?

Jett lag issues usually go away after a few days, but here's a few things you can do when you arrive at your destination:

* Start a new routine - eat and sleep at the the local times for your new time zone, not at the time like you do back at home.

* Try not to take a nap when you arrive - you may be tired after a long flight, but remaining  active until the local time to sleep at your destination will help you adjust quicker.

* Just being outdoors will help -natural daylight will help you adjust to a new time zone.

It's really not possible to prevent jet lag, and their is little proof that the jet lag pills and liquids are very effective.

But, changing your sleep routine a few days before departure and making sure you get enough sleep before you travel can help.

And of course, we never travel without our crystals.

There are crystals for Tiredness and Jet Lag, two of which are: Snow Quartz and Black Tourmaline.

Snow Quartz and Black Tourmaline can be used together to reduce feelings of tiredness and jet lag after travelling.

Hold the Snow Quartz in your left hand and the Black Tourmaline in your right hand. Imagine energy coming into your left hand and all the tiredness leaving through your right hand.

Sit there for 10 minutes and feel the energy from the Snow Quartz filling your body while all the tiredness and negative energy is being drawn out of your body by the Black Tourmaline.

Malachite is another wonderful stone known to support airplane and airline workers as a protection against accidents and miners for protection from unexplained accidents.

The power behind Earth's minerals offer us their energy when put a crystal in your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the magic of the earth, filled with energy to be used. Some of the best crystals for travel include Angelite, Calcite, Celestite, Hematite, Moonstone, Obsidian, Peridot, Quartz, Sapphire and Staurolite. 

They can be used for awareness, communication, grounding, protection and safe travel.

When we travel we wear Hematite bracelets…

We're not saying you won't be tired after a long trip, we are saying we didn't feel trashed with jet lag.

Hematite stones absorb the vibrations of your energy and become like a close personal travel companion.

Hematite is a wonderful stone with the ability to ground you, creating a balance between the physical and the spiritual. 

A Hematite Stone is the most powerful and effective grounding gemstone for your body. 

The moment it touches your skin, you feel its grounding energy, helping you to feel balanced, calmer and more centered. It absorbs all the negative energy from your body, eliminating stress, anxiety, worry and fear. 

So the bottom line for travelers, Hematite has the ability to neutralize the tired or sluggish of jet lag.

Using hematite in your traveling gives you balance and relief from stress and tension.
