1. What is the Purpose of Wearing Spiritual Jewellery?

At its core, spiritual jewellery serves a deeper purpose than fashion. It acts as a physical touchstone for our spiritual journey. By adorning ourselves with pieces that hold meaning—whether it's a 7 Chakra bracelet or a pendant with a sacred symbol—we create a tangible, daily reminder of our intentions and aspirations. Each piece becomes a personal talisman, connecting us to our inner selves and helping to bring balance and harmony into our lives.

2. What are the Benefits of a 7 Chakra Bracelet?

A 7 Chakra bracelet is one of the most popular forms of spiritual jewellery. Each of the seven different gemstones corresponds to one of the body's main energy centres. The benefits of wearing one are believed to be:

• Energy Balancing: It helps to align and balance your chakras, promoting a harmonious flow of energy.
• Emotional Support: The vibrations of the different stones can help soothe anxiety and support emotional healing. For example, Rose Quartz (Heart Chakra) enhances compassion.
• Protection: Many believe the stones can help protect the wearer from negative energy.

3. Which Hand Should I Wear My Chakra Bracelet On?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. In many spiritual traditions, the hands have different energetic properties:

• The Left Hand is considered your "receiving" hand. Wearing a chakra bracelet on your left wrist helps you absorb the healing energies of the stones.
• The Right Hand is considered your "giving" hand. Wearing a bracelet on your right wrist can help you project the stones' energies out into the world.

Simple Guide: For personal calm and balance, wear it on the left. To project your intentions and feel more protected, wear it on the right.

4. How Do I Energize and Cleanse My Jewellery?

To keep your spiritual jewellery vibrating at its highest potential, it needs to be cared for energetically. This involves an initial energization ritual and regular cleansing.

The First Energization (Prana Pratishtha)

When you first receive your piece, performing a traditional Indian ritual can infuse it with sacred energy and align it to you. This is known as Prana Pratishtha, or establishing its life force.

Step 1: Purification (Shuddhi)

First, cleanse the jewellery of any residual energies. The most sacred method is to wash or sprinkle the item with a few drops of Ganga Jal. If unavailable, clean running water can be used.

Step 2: Energization Ritual

Once purified, the next step is to infuse it with divine energy.

1. Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet space, like your pooja room or a personal altar. Place your jewellery on a fresh, clean cloth.
2. Invoke the Five Elements (Pancha Bhoota):
   • Earth (Prithvi): Place your jewellery on a bed of fresh flowers or uncooked rice.
   • Water (Jal): Sprinkle it again with sacred water.
   • Fire (Agni): Light a traditional diya (ghee or oil lamp) and incense (dhoop). Carefully and briefly pass your jewellery through the incense smoke and then gently over the warmth of the diya flame.
   • Air (Vayu): The fragrant smoke from the incense represents the Air element.
   • Ether (Akash): The clean, sacred space of your pooja room itself represents Ether.
3. Activate with Sacred Sound (Mantra): With your jewellery resting in its sacred space, chant a universal mantra like "Om" (ॐ) over it, repeating it 11, 51, or 108 times. This infuses the piece with pure, divine vibrations.

Step 3: Personal Attunement (Sankalpa)

This is the final and most personal step. Hold the energized piece in your hands, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. State your intention (Sankalpa) for the piece, either silently or aloud. For example, "I dedicate this bracelet to bringing me peace and clarity." This tunes the jewellery to your personal energy and goals.

Regular Cleansing

Over time, crystals can absorb negative energy. It's a good practice to cleanse your jewellery regularly (once a week, or whenever it feels "heavy"). Here are a few simple ways:

• Moonlight: Place your jewellery in the light of the full moon for a few hours.
• Sound Cleansing: Use the vibrations from a singing bowl or a bell to clear the energy.
• Smoke Cleansing: Pass the jewellery through the smoke of cleansing herbs like sage or palo santo.

5. How Do I Choose the Right Jewellery for Me?

The best piece of spiritual jewellery is the one that speaks to you. Totapari's Invoke Collection is designed with this personal journey in mind. Here’s how to choose:

• By Intuition: Browse the collection and see which piece you are naturally drawn to. Often, the symbol or gemstone you are most attracted to is the one whose energy you need most right now.
• By Intention: What is your goal? If you seek love and compassion, a piece with Rose Quartz is perfect. If you want to feel more grounded and secure, look for a Root Chakra piece with Red Jasper.
• By Symbolism: Choose the Lotus Flower for purity, or the Tree of Life for interconnectedness.

Totapari also offers customization, allowing you to select symbols and gemstones that align perfectly with your personal aspirations.
