Shiva Ji once entered deep meditation to bring happiness to all living creatures. Upon waking from this meditation, his tears fell to earth. These tears became the seeds of the rudraksha tree, which bless one with peace of mind. As well as promoting peace, prosperity, and wellbeing, they can also protect against fear and evil. Furthermore, these seeds have a cooling and soothing effect when worn against the skin, making them beautiful to carry. And a great meditation tool to keep at hand.
