What is a “glimmer moment”
Like most concepts, the idea of a “glimmer moment” is capable of expanding and contracting, depending on how you wish to engage with it.
To us: glimmer moments are small moments that create joy, contentment or inner peace.
They often have an element of physicality to them – involving a natural event (e.g. a rainbow during a storm, blossoming flowers or a full moon or other lunar event), a sensory experience (e.g. aromatherapy, listening to music) or an experience of human connection (e.g. genuine laughter, acts of kindness).
However, they can also be more internal to ourselves – comprising a thought, idea or feeling that brings a sense of positivity, such as inner calm, happiness or contentment.
Why glimmer moments are so powerful
Glimmer moments make us more aware and appreciative of the world and our experience within in. They can sometimes have the power to bring inner calm and stability during challenging times, as well inspiration and positivity to our mindset.
4 of the most impactful and popular ways to create glimmer moments
Some people are more naturally drawn to glimmer moments and are able to implement them easily at an instinctual level. Their glimmer moments can be very specific and often unique to their individual life. However, for the rest of us, we can usually benefit from a little suggestion!
So if you’re feeling a little reflective or spiritual, or even a little vulnerable and searching for ways to access sources of strength of courage, then you may benefit from trying one of the following most common and accessible ways of creating glimmer moments.
1. Lighting candles
Candles are a powerful way of bringing about an internal focus. The use of the element of fire in a controlled setting, can trigger an instinctual feeling of respect and reverence.
Perfect for those who are distractible or who may otherwise struggle to bring their internal thoughts and feelings into focus amongst the noise and bustle of everyday life.
Earthlight has a range of crystal and artwork candles, as well as our signature jewellery candle, which combines two methods of creating glimmer moments (lighting candles and meaningful jewellery).
Great for:
FOCUS | STILLNESS | DEDICATED TIMEOUTS
2. Wearing meaningful jewellery
As a natural crystal jewellery brand, the act of wearing meaningful jewellery in order to bring a physicality to our thoughts, feelings and sentiments, is close to our heart.
Jewellery with symbolic meanings (particularly where those meanings are known only to the wearer), is perfect for honouring and celebrating a quality or circumstance which is unique to ourselves or our life story.
The visual beauty of jewellery makes it great for use with extroverts or people who derive a sense of awe from perceiving beauty in their physical environment.
Some of Earthlight’s most loved meaningful jewellery pieces include our Aoede ‘Pure Positivity’ Necklace, Titania Citrine Self-Belief Ring and Polaris Crystal Bracelet for Mothers.
Great for:
ENERGY GIVING | CONSTANT POSITIVE PRESENCE | SENSE OF AWE & WONDER
3. Bringing symbolic crystals into your physical space
Crystals, particularly in the form of homewares, ornaments and collectibles, are an extremely popular way of surrounding ourselves with natural materials which bring us a sense that the course of our lives is subject to an aspect of divinity.
For people who spend a significant amount of time in their own home or personal space. Great for use with more advanced spiritual practitioners or those who or are naturally inclined towards spiritual ideas and practices.
Great for:
IMMERSIVE | ADVANCED SPIRITUALITY | PERMANENCE
4. Practising mantras and positive affirmations
Verbal affirmations or mantras (whether these are vocalised out loud or in our minds) are extremely useful in younger spiritual practitioners, people who may have experienced trauma or disordered thinking or behaviour or for whatever reason, may feel they are still in the process of learning what a positive thought pattern is, who they are and/or what it means to be them.
Mantras and affirmations allow users to "try on" different ways of thinking and with consistency and repetition, provide the opportunity to rewire thought patterns.
Great for:
AUDITORY LEARNERS | ENTRY LEVEL MINDFULNESS | CRISES
