Sometimes we need a traveling companion to remind us to be present to the beauty and truth that surround us. We need to be reminded to shine a light on what is real, to heal, to dance inside joy. We need to be gently pushed to find our way to laughter and fill the cracks that life creates. We need an invitation to stand tall and give ourselves permission to rest.

Liz Lamoreux created the Soul Mantra jewelry collection to serve as a reminder to pause in your day, take a breath, and notice what you need. When you feel the jewelry rest against your skin, notice it on your dresser before you put it on, hear it slide across the chain, see it in you reflection, she hopes you will give yourself permission to bring awareness to your breathing. Inhale and speak your mantra. Exhale and let whatever you need from the mantra settle over you.
