Apache Burden Basket

Have you heard of the Apache burden basket?

It’s a part of Native American culture with profound meaning. It is a burden basket carried by the women working outside. They put the basket near the house entrance, leaving their burdens before entering the home. I love the symbolism behind checking out our mental obligations before entering the home every day, which is somewhat similar to sage-ing or keeping a Guatemalan doll beside your bedside.

How about you? Do you have a daily ritual to keep your worries at bay?

Still, I recently acquired an Aventurine crystal on the same topic and have been carrying it everywhere daily. Aventurine is believed to be the luckiest crystal of all, and who wouldn’t want some good luck on their side?
