OHM June BOTM - Hug Me

OHM presents the June BOTM - Hug Me !! An adorable Teddy bear.

Hug Me !!!
"I was 5 years old when daddy got me a teddy bear. Now looking at my toy many years later - that bear is a door to my childhood.

I remember the box it came in - I felt so excited! My dad let me open the box first. There was a note on top. He read me the note out loud and handed me the bear. It was love at first sight! It was so soft and so fuzzy. I was carrying it around wherever I went: I fed it when I ate, I washed it when I bathed, and I always hugged it before I slept.

My father's hugs - I can feel them as I type. The comfort, the warmth we shared, the bonding experience was priceless. Now I see - sometimes it’s easier to put love into hugs than into words. When we hug our hearts connect. 

My dad is long gone. I don't have many regrets but I do regret not hugging him more. I regret not giving him simple hugs when I could while he was here. Hugs felt awkward and silly. The note he wrote stayed with me. I carried his message through my life. The note read: “HUG ME”."

Only 789 made in the entire world- this is Ohm Beads June Bead of the Month! Each comes with its own special box, authenticity code and number! Get your hug me bead while you can.  More often than not this bead sells out during presell.

Fits on Pandora, Trollbeads, Elfbeads, Chamilia, novobeads, OHM chains and many other add a bead chain.

For April the OHM BOTM is the Mama Terra Bead. She is only $45.00 - Free Shipping to USA.

Mama Terra comes with her own certificate of authenticity and numbered.  My store stock just arrived and I was excited to see what was in the package.  You first open the little box, then you see the burlap pouch, then unwrap the bubble wrap and you have this beautiful grey pot and the cloth drawstring pouch with the card and bead inside.  

Every OHM BOTM comes with different packaging and this one is sure to please.  So many extras.  

Mama Terra loves her children unconditionally. She is always there for them. A silent observer, she is sending her support whenever it is needed the most. Her smile is dreamy, her approach is kind. Flowers of life bloom in her hair. She feels the love for all humanity as for one living organism. She is compassionate, but not eternal. She is strong, but not limitless. She is alive! Try sending your love her way and see if she will respond.

OHM limits the number of beads to make them desirable. When they are all sold - that it's people... No re-releasing months later. If you snooze you lose out. Lets go shopping

Prayer Beads - Do you use these?

Prayer beads - my post for today.  

Thinking about a little 9 year old girl who is a family friend battling brain cancer.  She has had several treatments starting 2 years ago and just found out the tumor is growing again and the dr found 2 more fast growing tumors.  I am sick thinking of this family and the only thing I can think to do is KEEP Praying.  Things happen in the day and I am drawn away from thinking of Gracee, but quickly enough the sadness comes back.  I know there is nothing I can do but pray but there must be more.  I have to leave it in Gods hands and he will direct the path of the Drs. I KNOW this...

Prayer beads or worry beads are used by various cultures such as Anatolian, Ottoman, Turkish, Greek, Middle East, African, Indian and Asian to count the repetitions of prayers, for repetition of the same devotion a number of times, for meditation, protection from negative energy and to relieve stress. Using Prayer Beads as a tool of meditation is as old as human history. It is not a coincidence that Prayer Beads are present in almost every culture. Prayer beads have metaphysical and psychological affects on their users. The beads absorb the negative energies.

"Misbaha, Tasbih, Tasbeeh, prayer beads" are most commonly made of various gemstones, silver, wooden beads, shell, horn etc.
Semi precious stone beads are made of; carnelian agate, amber, amethyst, jet stone, onyx, turquoise, pearl, coral, jade, lapis lazuli, howlite, tiger's eye, jasper, quartz, chalcedony, tanzanite, kyanite etc.
Wooden beads are made of; walnut, ebony tree, rosewood, wenge tree, guayacan tree, olive tree, etc.

Using prayer beads releases the stress that is a result of daily problems, concerns and apprehensions. It is effective for relaxation of human mind and used for meditation purposes. Most have 33 Stones and a tassel.

Agate Prayer Beads -

Agate has a powerful energy. It decreases the tension by creating a warm feeling to the body sections with tension. When you carry agate, it supports the feelings of power, joy and optimism in your body. It also symbolizes the peace in the world.

Amethyst Prayer Beads -  Amethyst increases brain power by absorbing the excess amount of electrical charge. It is believed that amethyst gemstone is good for allergy, headache, eye and hearth diseases. It clears up the negative energies, has a sedative affect. It is also good for people with insomnia problems.

Howlite Turquoise Prayer Beads - Howlite prevents anger, gives comfort and calmness. Effective against stress. It also assists in the digestion of proteins and thus aids digestion. Howlite also helps draw out negative feelings such as envy or anger from a person.

Jade Prayer Beads - It is believed that jade stone ensures a long, lucky life. It balances extraordinary emotions. Helps mental focussing. Gives calmness and confidence when you feel worried. When held in hands, provides relaxation by transmitting heat. Suitable for daily use. It has the power of green color which is has balancing and healing power. Can be used as an accessory by lecturers and teachers.

These are just a few of the stones I looked into.  How to pick?  I would think I would like one with all the stones just in case.  

The English word bead derives from the Old English noun bede which means a prayer.  The exact origins of prayer beads remain uncertain, but their earliest use probably traces to Hindu prayers in India 

If you read this, please say a quick prayer for Gracee.

Never let anyone dull your ...

Thanks  MaryKaye

 

Jan 28, 2016 - Gracee underwent surgery yesterday as Drs on Monday found 2 more tumors and had to see what is going on.  Gracee is a strong girls with lots of will.  She is still in the hospital in Burlington, VT and expect to come home Friday.  Dr want her home and to have some fun while they wait for the test results to come in from the tumor so they know how to treat it.  Very sad.   Her family is there with her helping to adjust to the new news.  Prayers are sill needed so thank you so much.

Presenting - Elfbeads Spark in the Dark Collection.

Elfbeads in November released a great collection of glass beads - Spark in the dark.  They GLOW.  You read that right - glow in the dark beads.  There were several released and through out my postings I will be highlighting a few of them as to not overwhelm you.  This is the Midnight Duck on a white base.  The base is what glows and is soooooo cool.

Everyone likes things that glow.  Nail polish, necklaces, bracelets and now we have beads.  

The direct link to purchase this Midnight Duck  
is SHOP NOW

Glowing in the dark, also called luminescence, usually is a simple matter of chemistry. Certain chemicals store energy when exposed to light, then slowly release that energy, which causes them to emit a small amount of light and thus glow. Other chemicals will react with each other, causing their electrons to become excited, and they will glow as those electrons release energy. Radioactive elements also can be used to make things glow. These three ways that things glow in the dark are known as phosphorescence, chemiluminescence and radioluminescence.

Thanks for joining us today and remember - don't let anything dull your...

Trollbeads Green Armadillo - Retired.

Trollbeads Green Armadillos - Retired a few years ago. -
There is an old Indian prayer to the armadillo, which says "Protect my borders, teach me my shield, reflect my pain so I do not yield".  Trollbeads released Orange, blue, black, purple ones.

Armadillos are New World placental mammals with a leathery armour shell.  They are for protection, 

Armadillo shells have traditionally been used to make the back of the charango, an Andean lute instrument

Armadillo shells are so strong that two people have been reported as being injured by bullets ricocheting off armadillos' shells.[

Each bead is different in size and color, just like the real life armadillos.  All Glass Trollbeads have a 925 sterling silver cord and will fit on Troll like chains only. They retail for $34.00 but I have these last 3 on sale for $25.00 each.  That is a great deal.  Coming into Spring, you will need greens and yellows to help push away those winter blues.  I use what ever I have in  my arsenal and if it's on sale - that is even better.  Send me a message if this is something you are looking for.

Come back  tomorrow - you never know what I will be posting about !!! Well Beads of course.

Thanks - Never let anyone dull your sparkle. - MK

 

Firnen the Elfbeads Everdragon

Today's bead journey is about Firnen the Elfbeads Everdragon. Firnen is a green dragon with gold.  I don't know why he is on his side - Maybe that is part of his dragon journey.

This is Firnen the ‪#‎elfbeads‬ ‪#‎EverDragon‬ and he is looking for a new home...He has the Sunny Earth beads and the Ocean Flames to warm him. He soars from the bottom of the earth to the warmth of the Sun daily. Firnen is a green, young, and kind dragon who has Arya as his rider. I took my time finding partners to assist in his journey. Flames with the Ocean, Sun and the Dragon, coloring in blue and yellow makes green so I introduce --- Firnen. Where will his adventure go next.

Firnen has travelled from Denmark (Where he hatched) to Ohio and then Lake Placid where it is a bit too cold for him.  He prefers a bit warmer climate.
