Frequently asked questions

Why tie on waist beads?

Tying your waist beads signifies commitment. Whether you tie them yourself or are tied by someone else, once secured, they become a part of you, symbolizing a conscious choice and your ongoing healing journey.

How do I tie on my waistbeads?
  1. Wrap the strand around your waist or hips as you would a belt.
  2. Once positioned where you feel most comfortable, secure the beads with one knot followed by a double knot, repeating for a total of four knots for best security.
  3. Cut any excess thread and beads (keeping a small bowl nearby is helpful).
  4. Embrace your beads and honor your body.
What size waist beads do you offer?
