Sandalwood beads are protective and promote a spiritual awareness when worn. Its scent is believed by some to transform one's desires and maintain a person's alertness while in meditation. Its deeply grounding effect is useful for chakra work as it relaxes the heart and throat chakras. Sandalwood is calming, instills a sense of inner peace and clears negativity. It is a good choice to try in cases of stress, depression or low self esteem. Natural Sandalwood is harvested from the heart of the tree and has a slightly waxy texture.

Bodhi seed is rich in tradition. It was under the Bodhi tree that Buddha Shakyamuni sat at his Enlightenment. Thus Bodhi seed represents spiritual promise and possibility—the nurturing of the seed of Enlightenment within each of us. Bodhi seed malas are thought to promote concentration and awareness.

Sodalite brings order and calmness to the mind. It encourages rational thought, objectivity, truth and intuition, along with verbalisation of feelings. Sodalite brings emotional balance and calms panic attacks. It enhances self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-trust.
