I carried it with me when I went out, and the sacred wood's aroma brought me a sense of peace. My daughter often played with my mala and loved its scent, so one day I made a bracelet for her with some extra sacred wood beads. Seeing how she didn't want to take it off and wore it to school, as if it carried my companionship, inspired me to share this fragrant blessing with more people. **:: Yue Lao Series ::** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51708736885_51ec33b716_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52202404169_138ff3dfb2_b.jpg The ancient character "系" (xì) is a homophone for "繫" (jì), meaning "to tie" or "to bind." "Red threads are used to tie the feet of a husband and wife, and when they sit, they are secretly bound together. Even between families of enemies, between the noble and the humble, or when officials serve far from home in different lands, Once this rope is tied, escape is impossible." The legend of Yue Lao, the Old Man Under the Moon, originates from the story written by Li Fuyan in the Tang Dynasty's __"Jixuan Guai Lu. Dinghun Dian"__ (Further Tales of the Mysterious and Strange. The Marriage Shop). In the story, the young man Wei Gu, guided by the old man's matchmaking, eventually married the daughter of a vegetable seller, whom the old man had foretold, many years later. This passage suggests that men and women bound by a red thread, whether they are enemies, separated by vast differences in wealth, or live thousands of miles apart, will ultimately become husband and wife. **:: Blessed by the Incense Burner of Xiahai City God Temple ::** While preparing materials for the Yue Lao Series, I recalled that after I myself prayed for a red string from Yue Lao, I have been with my current husband for 16 years. This inspired me to arrange a special short trip to Taipei with my daughter. I brought my material kit to Xiahai City God Temple in Taipei for worship and to have the items blessed by passing them through the incense burner. Here are photos taken by my 6-year-old daughter with her DSLR camera (the first one), documenting our trip, and 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 May every one of you wearing this hand-strung bracelet find peace and freedom ♡ **:: Two Beads ::** The Yue Lao Series embodies the benevolent spirit of the Yue Lao legend by tying two sacred wood beads to the ends of the hand-strung bracelet. They meet, embrace, and are linked together, __symbolizing the invisible thread of destiny that connects two people,__ crossing mountains and rivers to be together until old age. __In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajra knot signifies the removal of obstacles, protection, and the holding of Dharma treasures.__ The main cord is woven with a light four-strand braid, finished with a Vajra knot that connects one to the Buddha. Blessings are woven into each knot with waxed thread. Wearing it daily offers protective and blessing powers, bringing spiritual stability and happiness to the sensitive you, and to him or her, especially when entering environments with low energy or mixed crowds. 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 Inca Sacred Wood ::** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51710708260_7187424715_b.jpg __Made with genuine 8mm Peruvian sacred wood round beads, each retaining its unique natural wood grain.__ __Rich in the wood's natural oils, it emits a warm, heart-touching red sandalwood aroma.__ Sacred wood possesses a tranquil, stabilizing power. It is a sacred plant native to the Inca Empire in Central and South America. The Spanish name "Palo Santo" literally means "sacred wood." It has been revered in sacred spaces and rituals in the West since ancient times, with uses second only to white sage. An Inca sacred wood tree lives for about 80-90 years. Its branches fall naturally in the forest, undergoing years of natural transformation. The heartwood ferments, producing oils and a unique, rich aroma. It is believed that Inca sacred wood has strong purifying and protective properties, can connect the body, mind, and spirit, and purify spaces. **[Please specify other color options in the notes ♡]** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53249636877_a5da9e3303_h.jpg **[2 0 2 3 New Colors ♡]** For selection, please visit https://www.pinkoi.com/product/gpKX5eKT https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53250877104_7bdd59c1ec_h.jpg **[Bracelet Size Measurement]** The hand-strung bracelet is made according to the wrist circumference model you provide. It will be re-checked on the model during finishing to ensure a comfortable, snug, or slightly loose fit. To measure, use a thin string to gently circle the thinnest part of your wrist, ensuring it is "not pressing into the skin & not leaving a gap." Do not add any extra length for looseness. When providing your size, you can indicate whether you prefer a "snug fit" or "slightly loose." It may require some effort to open the clasp the first time you connect the end bead. **[Please understand before ordering]** **◇ Each batch of beads has unique patterns. The designer will match the hand-strung cord color to the available beads; specific wood grain patterns cannot be specified.** **◇ The luster, oils, and aroma of the beads will gradually fade with wear.** **◇ As waxed threads have a slight shaping characteristic, you can stretch and adjust them if they become deformed upon arrival.** **◎ Please avoid contact with water. Remove before bathing. If it gets wet, place it in a dry place to air dry naturally.** **◎ Not recommended for children under 3 years of age. Parents, please ensure children do not put the beads in their mouths.** **◎ To prevent the beads from pressing on the skin and affecting blood circulation, do not let children wear them while sleeping. You can place them gently on a nearby table for guardianship :)** **◆ Friends in Hong Kong and Macau must provide a Chinese address (including the district).** **◆ The listed stock quantity is not for immediate availability. Each hand-strung bracelet is made sequentially after ordering. Please refer to the announcements for the latest shipping status before ordering. Please pay attention to the estimated shipping date notification after ordering; actual shipping dates may have a 1-2 day variance ♡** **[About Hand-Dyed Packaging]** The small gauze bag inside the packaging is personally hand-dyed with tea leaves by the designer to create an antique color. It is naturally air-dried after washing. **Occasional uneven dye sedimentation and yellowing at the edges are natural phenomena, not stains!

I have a mountain in my heart, and for years I've had an urgent need to escape everything and return to the mountain. Below the mountain, a garden blooms, sustaining me. Many years later, a tree hollow grew, gradually filling with light. From then on, I no longer felt 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 take a little, to share a word, and we can illuminate each other.
