Why the Fair Trade Option

Each prayer bead bracelet purchase supports skillful Thai women village artisans, providing jobs that foster their innate talents and cultural heritage.

Darin is a talented Thai jewelry designer who, through Fair Trade, has organized a jewelry co-op in Fang, where job options are minimal. Fair Trade fosters her entrepreneurship and provides an uplifting, nurturing, empowering artisan crafter and retail relationship. You get to experience their traditions and talents, and they get empowering employment.

Fair Trade guarantees fair and timely pay and inclusive, non-discrimination employment. So these women can remain in their village, support their families, and uplift their communities! Equitable careers give these women the ability to provide their families with nutrition, education, and healthcare (which must be self-funded in developing nations.)

Each conscious mala bracelet uplifts the beautiful souls who make them while bringing Buddhist mindfulness to your life! 

 

The Meanings of Wearing Pearls

In Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, the flaming pearl symbolizes our inner wisdom and strengthens our connection with the cosmos’ divine energies. Ancient Hindus believed the god Krishna found the first pearl, which he gave his daughter as a wedding gift, and the Ancient Japanese believed pearls were the tears of mermaids, nymphs, and angels.

Global cultures believe wearing pearls can: 

• Calm the mind and relieve mental stress
• Improve memory 
• Enhance intelligence and wisdom
• Foster self-confidence 
• Bringing balance to your karma & chakra (especially if there is an excess of masculine energy)
