Final Thoughts...
Although Rudraksha is not a crystal, it carries with it creation, fertility, and life force energy. We like to still view Rudraksha as a living essence capable of providing renewed vitality and high levels of soul healing. Our entire chakra column becomes aligned and activated when we choose to access Rudraksha’s full capabilities. Any blockage or misstep in the chakra pattern can throw one off balance and make you feel as though you are out of touch with yourself. Wearing this bead as a bracelet is a great way to relax the mind and allow the spirit to heal from within. Through this internal healing, we can become more aware of our surroundings and provide ourselves with much-needed support.
Namaste,
Kiri xx
