Red sandalwood beads

1. Health – promoting Energy of Natural Materials: The Pharmacology of Red Sandalwood and Aura Purification

• Recorded in “Compendium of Materia Medica”: Red sandalwood is warm in nature and salty in taste. Decoction of it can “reduce swelling and relieve pain, regulate qi and blood”. When worn, the wood oil penetrates the skin through pores, and its volatile substances (such as santalin) are believed in traditional medicine to relieve anxiety and improve sleep. Modern research shows that the aroma of red sandalwood can reduce heart rate variability (HRV), having a calming effect on people under high pressure.
• The Physical Mechanism of Aura Purification

   

  • Electrostatic Adsorption and Energy Field Stabilization: After being played with, the red sandalwood prayer beads form a patina and carry a weak static charge, which can adsorb fine dust in the air. At the same time, in metaphysics, they are given the symbolic meaning of “adsorbing negative energy”. The wood of red sandalwood has a high density (air – dry density> 1.0g/cm³), and the feeling of heaviness when held in the hand can trigger the psychological 暗示 of “calming the mind”.

    The Mindfulness Training of Fingertip Practice
    The Cultivation of Concentration through Three Ways of Playing with Beads: Single – circle Twisting: Pinch the bead with the thumb and index finger and rotate it. It is suitable for fragmented time (such as during commuting). Clear the distracting thoughts through repetitive actions;
    Full – hand Rubbing: Wrap the Buddha beads in the palm and rub them, accompanied by deep breathing to relieve the anxiety after high – intensity work (similar to “body anchoring” in meditation);
    Counting and Chanting: Combine with counting while chanting Buddha’s name, transforming the act of playing with beads into a practice of integrating “body, speech, and mind”. Buddhists believe that it can accumulate merit.
