Personal Experience And Customer Review
For activation, I consecutively wore my Rudraksha for 40 days, allowing it to be in sync with my Energy. After those 40 days, I incorporated it into my daily practices. I used it mainly to reprogram my subconscious mind!
Every once in a while, I smudge it in order to cleanse it from those releasing cycles, and I rub it with pure Olive Oil.
Customer Experience: Many report feelings of deep peace, better sleep, and seeing more synchronicities in their daily life.
