The center bead in this bracelet is a large chunky Blue Ocean Jasper stone, known as the Nurturing Stone. It is a semi-precious stone found only on the coast of Madagascar. This soft and gentle stone encourages you to embrace love, happiness, and joy even when it is difficult. Combining the energies of water and volcanic rock, this stone has both a fiery and a cooler side, helping you slow down and take some time for yourself throughout the day. Turquoise stone beads promote the balance of yin and yang, offering you mental clarity and helping you deal with negativity. Rudraksha beads, also known as Buddha beads, are a powerful and sacred bead in the Vedic tradition and Buddhism. Revered as a divine gift from Lord Shiva, Rudraksha beads promote spiritual growth, emotional well-being, and inner transformation. Legend has it that King Vaidunya asked the Buddha for a simple practice to alleviate suffering. The Buddha advised him to create a circular array of 108 bodhi seeds and Rudraksha beads and recite certain mantras while counting them.
