Thank you to @broche for the basis of these swaps!

This will be a series of prayer/meditation/comfort beads with different purposes and types, so I hope you enjoy and will amass a collection of beads for every purpose!

THIS SWAP:

You will be asked to create one (1) chakra themed comfort beads. Comfort beads are also known as worry beads, but comfort is a more positive way of calling them.

How the beads will be constructed:

1--The comfort beads are not necessarily something you wear, though some have used them for bracelets - they should be on wire or chain around 7 to 8 inches long, with a focal type point at the end. You may use wire, string, hemp - anything you wish for the necklace but it must have a focal point (stone, metal, bone, etc) at the end. You can decide on whatever you like for the focal/end point such as a charm of some kind, a crystal stone, a worry stone (the tear dropped shaped stones with a dip in the middle), etc.

2--You need to choose the beads for the comfort beads- keeping the topic of CHAKRA in mind as well as what spacers you want to use. You must use all of these colors in some way in your beads: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.

Here is an example of stones to use:

Quartz crystal - Overall balance of the chakra system. Amethyst - mental clarity and organization, understanding, knowledge. Citrine - Self confidence and personal power. Lapis lazuli - Reveals the truth, increases inner vision, helps control conflicts, friendship stone. Carnelian - Self actualization, energizes personal power, banishes sorrow and depression, protection. Jasper - power, protection, courage Malachite - Stone of balance in relationships of the heart, protector.

The beads are a great tool no matter what religion you are part of, to silence our minds and spirits, to center ourselves and focus on the purpose of the beads.

If anyone is willing to angel this swap besides myself please let me know. But I hope that is not necessary.

[If you have certain likes/dislikes for your necklace please state them just so your partner knows your taste ( dislike of certain stones/silver or gold/non-pagan or pagan symbols/etc) but remember this is sender's choice so you should not rate down if it's not something you prefer as long as it meets the standards of the swap.]

If you have any questions, concerns, comments, etc... feel free to comment or send me a PM!

[Photo of comfort beads is just an example, I did not make those, I found them on the web.]
