A friend and I took a class at the bead store in town to make wire-wrapped bead bracelets. Rather than just making a “pretty bracelet”, we thought it would be nice to choose an intention for the bracelet to represent. I chose bringing forward the Sacred Feminine within me. This made choosing just the right crystals, beads and charms a wonderful process. I chose ones that had particular feminine properties (like moonstone and fresh water pearl), particular shapes (like flower-shaped beads and charms in the shape of a butterfly, dragonfly and leaves), and then there were the pretty colors I could use! I also chose a few crystal beads that would keep me grounded. The instructions called for choosing between six and twenty beads, but I picked out 27! I just kept finding the right and perfect beads!
The process of putting together the bracelet was surprisingly therapeutic – being focused and mindful interspersed with giggling with the other ladies and enjoying what they were creating.
Take a moment to think about what you can create that can be a talisman for what you want to bring into your life or how you’d like to BE in your life.
