These beads are worn culturally, socially, and religiously in some communities; they can be worn to embellish, enhance, distinguish or define; they are also worn as a mindfulness tool. I personally wear them as a conscious reminder or symbolization of the things I desire in my life and my space, also because I like the way they look on my body; I think they are very sexy and I like to see them drop as I lose weight. Adorn yourself with them and see how they make you feel.
