Wearing rudraksha can bring you peace and balance, aligning with your energies and supporting your well-being. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, the emphasis lies more on your intention and mindfulness rather than strict rules. Ideally, rudraksha beads should be worn with the purpose of enhancing your spiritual and mental state.
Firstly, concerning which hand to wear it on, it’s often believed that wearing rudraksha on the right hand is associated with giving energy out, while the left hand is for receiving. However, the importance here hinges on your own personal comfort and connection to the rudraksha. Since you’ve chosen a bracelet with five beads, that could align with panchbhuta—the five elements, supporting harmony.
Now, chantings or prayers like ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ could be beneficial but aren’t strictly necessary. They might help in tuning your mind and heart towards a positive intention and open the energy channels. It’s about setting a peaceful intention when you put it on, rather than a meticulous ritual.
As for wearing it during stress, rudraksha are often considered to absorb and transform negative energies, so don’t worry too much about it. Just strive to wear it with a clear and centered intention, and trust that it will aid your process of finding balance.
Ensure the beads are touching your skin for maximum effect and remove it when bathing. Trust your intuitive connection with the rudraksha itself; that clarity is what’s most important. Always remember, the rudraksha is a tool. Your inner peace comes from within, and this accessory supports that journey.
