As a healing crystal, tourmaline helps you understand yourself and others, promotes self-confidence, and lessens fear. It is the stone of protection helping keep negative energy from the body.
Zodiac Stone - Libra, and Sagittarius.
The history of waist beads dates back to antiquity. Many believe that the history begins in ancient Egypt where they were called “girdles” and were worn by women as a status symbol. In West Africa, the tradition was made popular by the Yoruban tribe of Nigeria. They are worn as a celebration of womanhood, sexuality, femininity, fertility, healing, spirituality, body shaping, protection and wealth. It is believed that the practice of wearing multiple waist beads over time will help to keep the waist small and accentuate the hips.
Since traditional waist beads are strung on cotton cord (and without a clasp/hook) they can be a good tool to measure weight gain and loss. They will not stretch; they will either break or continue to roll up the waist when weight has been gained. Similarly, they will roll down or eventually become so loose they will fall off when weight has been lost. Waist beads can be word by women of all shapes and sizes. Celebrate your curves with the perfect strands for you.
How To Wear: Wrap your beads around your waist in the position you want to wear them. For weight management, it's best to begin them very high, close to bra line, so you can enjoy them dropping as you lose. Once you decide on placement, remove any extra beads if necessary by carefully un-straining them. Tie 4-5 tight knots where the beads join. You add a drop of glue to the knot to help secure. Cut any additional string. Waist beads can be worn at all times and are not intended to be removed until you are ready to release them and change to a new set. The beads may dull with body products or soap, and is normal. Gently clean them if you desire with soap and water. You can use a bit of natural oil to give them sheen. If you would like them to be removeable, tie them loosely very low on your body in order to lift them off to remove. Your beads can endure almost any activity, but use caution when dressing and using the restroom to not catch the strands and break them. Our waist beads come on cotton cords 45 inches for you to adjust to your perfect size.
Once you receive your beads, we encourage you to have a ceremonial shower to cleanse your energy, oil your skin, pray over your beads then tie them on beginning your new journey.
