My Feng Shui Bracelets

08.09.2011 by Leah // 15 Comments

I discovered beaded bracelets with feng shui charms thru eBay.   I saw this feng shui seller who piqued my curiosity about DZI bracelets.  I bought a few to see if indeed they will work as my luck, health and money charms hehe.

My DZI charm bracelets:   9-eyed DZI with citrine beads, 21-eyed DZI with tiger-eye beads and turtle shell DZI with lapis lazulis.

What does these stones symbolize and why did I choose them?

Citrine is said to bring opportunities, prosperity and protection.  Together with the 9-eyed DZI, it is said to bring unexpected blessings.

Tiger Eye enhances charisma and foresight balance.  It is further enhanced by the 21-eyed DZI which is said to offer the wearer strength and power.   I wear this bracelet charm especially when I’m scheduled for a meeting within or outside the office.

Lapis Lazulis are my favorite.  It stimulates wisdom, will and integrity.   In my line of work, these stones are a must-have.     The turtle shell DZI, on the other hand, is for good health.

Soon I was buying and collecting other charm bracelets.   I think I was drawn to their colors and design, on top of their supposed charms.

I have a love charm (rose quartz bracelet) which I enhanced with a lapis lazuli rhino to protect me from robbery, office politics and backstabbing:

I have 2 bracelets with Gourd or Wu Lou, to cure sickness and bad luck stars.  They’re the charms I put in these big chunk lapis lazuli and jade bracelets:

I love this unique Ally Bracelet.  I was born in the Year of the Snake and my allies are those born in the Year of the Rooster and Boar.  I totally believe this hehe, because the people I work best with at work were born under these animal signs.    The Mystic Knot, meanwhile,  is an auspicious feng shui object.

This is my Prosperity 8 Bracelet in amethyst bead bracelet.   Not only is 8 an auspicious number in Chinese feng shui, it also turns a bad luck into a good one with its fluid, endless shape:

Finally, I have this Prosperity Fish carved in Coral in my other citrine bracelet:

While the DZI and Alley bracelets were bought at eBay, the rest were bought at Greenhills.  There’s this stall (named “Bensani”) selling high-quality beads and charms that we frequent.  AJ and I have bought most of our bracelets there.    Below are just some of the beautiful bracelets being sold at this stall:

Now don’t ask me if I’m a hardcore believer of crystals and gems.   While I do believe that in some ways they seem to work, luck is just luck and nothing beats hard work, discipline and camaraderie to have good blessings and rewards at work and in your relationships.

But if you are like me who appreciates the beauty and charm of these bracelets, then, by all means, go collect them!

      Hi Ms. Cely! There are charms and beads bracelets available at LRC but not the feng shui kind you will see at Bensani.

      I’m not sure if there’s a particular rule on this, Malyn. But since I’m left-handed, I wear the bracelets on my right =)

    I like charm bracelets too. I have the 21 eye tiger and the all all in one bracelet and one with my sign allies. Those crystal charms should be worn on the right hand “daw”. Oh and i have a singing bowl too haha. Can we pile these bracelets on one wrist i wonder?

      I have a singing bowl too, Mary Ann =) Hmmm, I really wear my bracelets at the right, but that’s because I’m left handed and wearing them at the left will surely get in a way with my writing hehe.

      Yes, we can pile these bracelets on, but I prefer wearing isa-isa lang cos some beads are big and heavy too.

    I love your collection…and thank you for the info.
    Do you feel that the bracelets have brought significant changes to your livelihood or are they just fun to collect or both?

      I don’t know if it’s psychological or what but I do feel more alert and focused at work when I have my bracelets on.

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
