A Quick Introduction To Prayer Beads

By Brittany Mieler


Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam several distinct faiths of Christianity and even some Native American and African faiths and cultures all use different types of prayer beads.

And since over 75% of all Americans claim to follow some sort of faith, regardless of whether it be an organized church or just a belief system, it would only make sense that a lot of men and women would be considering beads which could assist them celebrate their spirituality.

Prayer Beads are not really bead jewelry within the normal fashion sense, but rather the beads are normally utilized as a counting mechanism where the person says a prayer or thinks about particular things for every bead on the string. Prayer beads could be made out of just about any material, such as cheaper material like glass and plastics to a lot more high-priced materials like crystal, stone and some unique wood.

You'll find lots of bead jewelry artisans making prayer beads on the web, but not very many are going to craft shows or local artist fairs. This means the marketplace is wide open if you're going to try to expand your jewelry business with prayer beads.

If you're going to make prayer beads then I recommend you choose you craft reveals cautiously, do your homework and think carefully about packaging. You will need to be sure you are creating bead pieces which are faithful to whatever faith the beads are employed by, and you may possibly want to go to a local house of worship and show your wares to the folks in charge there.

Some churches and other places of worship will even bless your items for a nominal donation!

Prayer beads in particular typically come with sample prayers, directions on use or even a written history of the prayer bead tradition for a particular faith. I suggest you careful analysis this and often consist of something written with every single set of prayer beads you sell. You could even put that details on the back of one of one's business cards for repeat customers!

It is a practice that will benefit everyone, a space of time exactly where one is fully absorbed in something apart from worries. It gives our mind and body a possibility to loosen up and that in itself is healing.
