Spacers are opalescent white glass seed beads and solar spiral silver tone beads divide each section. There are five beads in each group and the bead shape in each section is different. I have tried to make the shapes similar and a frequently there are a couple of the colors that are the same.  Comes with drawstring pouch.   Prayer Beads, in their many forms have been used for centuries by many different cultures. Now is the time for the Pagan movement to reclaim this ancient tool for themselves. It is believed that the Hindu and Buddhist were the first to count prayers on a cord of knots or strands beads.  The followers of Jesus used a knotted cord or a bag of stones for counting prayers. St. Dominic later adapted this into the modern Christian rosary. The Hindu word for prayer beads is in Sanskrit, “Mala”, means garden. This correlates to the use of the word “Rosary”, which is derived from Rosarium and means rose garden, and is the word used for a garland of rose beads. These meanings make one consider the use of a garden for the purpose of meditation or prayer. The word “bead” is derived from Anglo-saxon bidden (to pray) and bede (prayer). A strand of beads is used primarily for the counting of repetitious prayers. Beads relieve the mind of needing to count and thus allow the repetitions to create an altered or magical state of consciousness. Using prayer beads is good way to bring a spiritual practice into your daily life. One of the hardest tasks people encounter in becoming more spiritual is in having a focused daily practice.   Using Pocket Prayer Beads in your morning meditation helps in many ways. It gives structure and also times the session (a cool side benefit for those with limited time.) For a beginning meditator, focus on the inhale/exhale of your breath with each bead and this will still the mind and bring a sense of centeredness, taking about 10 minutes. If you want to extend the meditation, go around the circle of beads again and you have used about 20 minutes. Thus you can portion out your available time.   The more advanced meditator can add affirmations and even visualizations to the session. My Pocket Prayer Beads are approximately 40 beads, which is the recommended number of repetitions; suggested by Franz Bardon known Hermeticist, for achieving your desired outcome. Do the meditation for 40 days in a row and you have sufficiently reinforced the affirmation to achieve magical results. This set of Wearable Prayer Beads is 42 beads (including section dividers but excluding spacer beads.) Your purchase will include information about creating/writing affirmations as well as some listings specific to use with Chakras.   Prayer beads are perfect for carrying with you on a daily basis. Put them in your purse, brief case, in the car, etc. Use them at any time for general stress relief. Perfect for calming you during a traffic jam. A circle of beads can become a mobile “sacred space.” They can also be used for casting circle and magical spells. I am working on some patterns to be used for these purposes.
