Item Description
This pendant is from the seed of the Rudraksha or blue marble tree growing next to the welcoming tent at the Lawai International Center. The tree has heard the many inspirational stories of a community moving with their hearts to support the Center.
From the slopes of the Himalayas to the valleys of Kauai, rudraksha seeds are used around the world as beads of prayer. Not only are these seeds functional, strung 27, 54, or 108 to a strand to count prayers, but they protect the wearer as they pray.
Run your fingers across the ridged and gold painted "faces" of the seed and connect with the indomitable force of those who came before us and the earth that provides for us all.
Medicinally, the beads are known to heal the mind and body ailments, reduce heart disease and lower blood pressure. They are also believed to increase clarity and general awareness, calm the central nervous system, help quiet the mind, and free negative thoughts. In addition, they are said to be cooling when worn against the skin, and increase energy and stamina while providing rejuvenating qualities.
The seed was harvested, cleaned and gilded by Aaron Uyeda of Waimea. Aaron is a retired Kauai County Engineer who has been volunteering for the Center for over 14 years cooking at events and nurturing the grounds on Caring Days. He created this gift in hopes that it will support the Center so that all people including those who will come after us will find their way home to the Light of Lawai.
This seed bead is hung on 20" black silk cord with a matching metal colored magnetic closure.
