During finishing, the model is used again to ensure a comfortable, snug, or slightly loose fit. Using a thin string, measure snugly around the thinnest part of your wrist, ensuring it's neither pressing into your skin nor leaving any gaps. Do not add any extra length for looseness. When providing your size, you can specify if you prefer a "snug fit" or "slightly loose." The first time you fasten the end bead, you may need to gently stretch the clasp open. **[Please Understand Before Customizing]** **◇ Each batch of beads has unique patterns. The designer will match the bead patterns with the color of the cord based on the available beads; specific wood grains cannot be chosen.** **◇ The luster, oil, and aroma of the beads will gradually fade with wear.** **◇ As wax cord has a slight shaping property, you can gently stretch it to adjust if it deforms upon receipt.** **◎ Please avoid contact with water. Remove before showering. If it gets wet, place it in a dry area to air dry naturally.** **◎ Not recommended for children under 3 years old. Parents should ensure children do not put the item in their mouths.** **◎ To prevent beads from pressing on the skin and affecting blood circulation, do not let children wear this while sleeping. You can place it gently on a nearby table for their protection :)** **◆ Friends in Hong Kong and Macau must provide a Chinese address (including the district).** **◆ The listed stock quantity is not for immediate delivery.

It is air-dried after washing. **Occasional uneven dyeing at the edges and slight yellowing are natural phenomena, not stains!

I also carried it with me when I went out, and the lingering scent of Palo Santo brought me a sense of peace. My daughter often played with my mala and loved its aroma. So, one day, I used extra Palo Santo beads to make a bracelet for her. Seeing her reluctant to take it off, wearing it to school as if it carried my companionship, inspired me to share this fragrant blessing and prayer with more people. **:: Yue Lao Series ::** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51708736885_51ec33b716_b.jpg The ancient character "系" (xì) is a homophone for "繫" (jì), meaning "to tie" or "to connect." "Red threads, used to tie the feet of husband and wife, and when they sit, they are secretly bound together. Even if from rival families, separated by status, serving in distant lands, or in different regions of Wu and Chu, once this thread is tied, it cannot be escaped." The legend of Yue Lao, the matchmaker deity, first appeared in the story "Ding Hun Dian" (The Marriage Registry) from "Xu Xuan Guai Lu" written by Li Fuyan during the Tang Dynasty. In the story, the young man Wei Gu, guided by the old man's matchmaking, eventually married the girl raised by the vegetable seller years later, as foretold by the old man. This passage states that men and women bound by a red thread, regardless of whether they are enemies, from vastly different social classes, or separated by thousands of miles, will ultimately become a couple. **:: Blessed by the Incense Burner at Xiahai City God Temple ::** While preparing materials for the Yue Lao series, I recalled that after receiving a red string from Yue Lao myself, my husband and I have been together for 16 years, loving and knowing each other. This inspired me to arrange a short trip to Taipei with my daughter. I brought my materials and visited the Xiahai City God Temple in Taipei to pay respects and have them blessed. Here are the records I captured, with my 6-year-old daughter holding a DSLR camera to take the first photo, along with the happiness we wish to share with you. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51701493706_c6d1c6e0e1_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51701493841_304438d2ed_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51702381010_609b0a8083_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51702169364_fcb467c283_b.jpg Wishing everyone who wears this bracelet peace and freedom ♡ **:: Two Beads ::** The Yue Lao Series embodies the benevolent intentions of the Yue Lao legend, tying two Palo Santo beads at the ends of the bracelet. They meet in a circle, embracing each other, **symbolizing the invisible thread of destiny that connects two people,** traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, until they grow old together, never apart. __In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajra knot symbolizes the removal of obstacles, protection, and sacred treasures.__ The main cord is woven with a light four-strand braid, finished with a Vajra knot symbolizing connection with the Buddha. Blessings are woven into each knot with wax cord. Wearing it daily, especially when entering places with low energy frequencies or crowded, mixed energies, provides protective and blessing power for you and those close to you, bringing spiritual stability and happiness. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51705434951_9a74d83a74_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52202159898_cc916b7e96_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51700695262_4ddf112dd1_b.jpg **:: Peruvian Sacred Wood ::** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51710708260_7187424715_b.jpg __Made with genuine 8mm Peruvian Palo Santo machine-cut beads. Each bead retains its unique natural wood grain.__ __Rich in Palo Santo's natural oils, emitting a warm, heart-soothing red wood aroma.__ Palo Santo possesses a tranquil, stabilizing power. It is a sacred plant native to Central and South America, originating from the Inca Empire. The Spanish name "Palo Santo" itself means "sacred wood." Since ancient times, it has been revered in sacred spaces and rituals in the West. Its uses are widespread, second only to white sage. An Inca Palo Santo tree lives for about 80-90 years, its branches naturally falling in the forest. After years of natural conversion, the heartwood ferments, releasing oils and a uniquely rich aroma. It is believed that Inca Palo Santo has strong purifying and protective properties, and can connect the body, mind, and spirit, as well as purify spaces. **[For other color options, please leave a note ♡]** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53249636877_a5da9e3303_h.jpg **[2023 New Colors ♡]** For selection, please visit https://www.pinkoi.com/product/gpKX5eKT https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53250877104_7bdd59c1ec_h.jpg **【About The Garden Has a Tree Hole】** There is a garden at the foot of the mountain, in the garden, there is a tree hole, and in the tree hole, there is light. I have a mountain in my heart, and for years I've had an urgent need to escape everything and return to the mountain. A garden bloomed at the foot of the mountain, nourishing me. Many years later, a tree hole grew, and gradually, light appeared. From then on, I no longer had such a strong need to return to the mountain. I am the mountain, I am the tree, I am the light. If you pass by, you are welcome to come in and take a little, to talk, and to illuminate each other.
