| Beads have been used for centuries and in most cultures in rituals and rights of passage. They have been used as jewelry, as meditation tools, and spiritual symbols. Birth Beads are all of these. Birth Beads for Fertility: Hold your Birth Bead Strand or Bracelet during meditation or visualization, focusing your energy and thoughts on the Belly, Hara or 2nd Chakra (Bead Color: Orange , Stone: Carnelian). This Chakra is located 2 inches below the navel. This energy center is the place of sexuality and reproduction .It stimulates creative force. You may wish to place the Ghau or Goddess in the palm of your hand, with palm facing upward . If your Birth Beads hold a Ghau, place your wish for fertility and conception inside written on a small piece of paper or cloth. Birth Beads for the Expectant Mother: Birth Beads are a modern day way to honor the expectant mother. When taken to the birthing experience, they symbolize the support of those who gifted them. They carry with them energy and power. They can be used as a visual and tactile focal point during labor and held for strength and endurance during the birth process. Place a prayer, wish, picture, or special object in your prayer box to bring to your birthing experience . The spiral on the Womb Goddess symbolizes the cosmos, fertility and feminine power in the regeneration of life and eternity. It is no coincidence that the spiral lies over her abdomen, the source of human life, and symbolically, the source of all life. Birth Beads for Mothers and for Meditation: Birth Bead Bracelets and Necklaces can be used as a reminder to all mothers of the joy of birth and as a constant focal point of life energy. The Ghau can hold a memento or small photo of your child and loved ones when you are apart. A modern symbol composed of ancient ones, the Spiral Goddess symbolizes the spiral of eternity, which in becoming a mother you have reinforced. As a meditation tool, focus on the beads as representation of the chakras in order to open and balance the energy centers. Place your goals, hopes and intentions in written form in the Ghau. |
