The center stone of the bracelet is a magnificent Mala bead, hand-crafted from natural seashells in a design known as the 'Mani Om'. 'Om' represents the body, speech and mind of enlightened beings, while 'Mani' means jewel, symbolising the altruistic intention to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. The syllable 'Om' has ancient roots in the Vedic sacred texts known as the Upanishads, which date back approximately 5,000 years. Om has various meanings, including cosmic sound, mystical syllable and affirmation of the divine. In Hinduism, it represents the essence of the highest absolute, consciousness and the cosmic world. Nepalese dark grey bone beads are worn as a symbol of power, strength and protection. In Nepal, they are believed to bring good luck, health and prosperity. Bone is a traditional material used in malas (prayer beads) in both Nepal and Tibet. The bone bead symbolises the earth and our connection to it. Bone also signifies strength and enhances prana (life energy). Two Tibetan 'Eye Agate' stone beads with their healing ability further enhance the overall power of this unique bracelet.
