Make a Shamballa Bracelet

Few people know that Shamballa is a mythical kingdom, said to be hidden somewhere in the snowy peaks of Tibet. It is a place of enlightenment, wisdom, and inner peace. According to legend, only those with pure souls can live in Shamballa, where they will be free from suffering and enjoy absolute happiness and peace. The inhabitants are immortal and possess supernatural powers. It is a place where injustice does not exist, only love!

Shamballa in Modern Times

Many contemporary researchers believe that this place exists and have attempted to locate it. Some claim to have seen it, but none have pinpointed its exact location on the map. However, they all agree on one thing: it lies somewhere in the mountainous regions of Eurasia. According to some, when a person passes near Shamballa, they become disoriented, and their perceptions of the physical world change.

Interestingly, even Hitler was influenced by the legends of this magical kingdom. He was quite affected by the occult, as evidenced by the swastika, an ancient Indian symbol signifying indestructible good fortune, which he adopted as a symbol of the Nazis. Hitler sent several expeditions to Tibet to contact Shamballa in the hopes of gaining control over the world.

After the Nuremberg Trials, before the Nazi leaders were executed, it was reported that some of them conducted an unknown religious ceremony led by a man who held the keys to Agartha (another name for Shamballa). Many legends surround Shamballa, each more intriguing than the last. Still, they all carry the same message: Shamballa is a place of peace and serenity, purification, enlightenment, and love. The Shamballa bracelets symbolize this message, each carrying a piece of this magical kingdom.

The Bracelets

Traditionally, bracelets have been made with beads of bone, wood, or semi-precious stones. In recent years, some Hollywood stars have popularized bracelets with crystal beads. Regardless of the type of beads, the technique for making these bracelets is the same: macramé! Below, we will show you how to make a bracelet using this technique.

We have prepared an interesting Shamballa bracelet tutorial for you. The bracelet in this lesson is for a wrist with a girth of 16-17 cm, but the size can always be adjusted to fit your wrist.

You’ll need:

• Zebra Jasper 10 mm - 11 pieces
• Hematite 8 mm - 2 pieces
• Crystal spacer 8 mm - 2 pieces
• Main polyester cord (brown) - 40 cm
• White polyester cord for stone weaving 2 x 30 cm
• Brown polyester cord for the clasp - 30 cm

Here is our step-by-step guide:

Place the main cord (brown) and fix it with tape at the top end. Find the middle of the white cord and place it under the main cord (brown) so that it is of equal length on both sides. Divide the white cord into two parts: left - 1, right - 2. Cord 1 will always be the leading cord. It always passes over the main cord and under cord 2. Cord 2, opposite to cord 1, passes under the main cord and over cord 1, regardless of the side they are on. It is recommended to tighten the knots evenly to make them consistent. After making two knots, thread one of the beads. Note that cord 1 starts in the initial position.

Thread 3 stones with 2 metal spacers, which will not be woven. To make the knots symmetrical, you need to start weaving from bottom to top. To do this, pre-thread the four stones that will be woven in. Then repeat until all four stones are woven. Finish by melting the two ends. Even out the two ends of your bracelet. This time the base will be the two evened cords, around which you will weave. To make it easier, you can fix them again with tape.

To finish the two ends, you can add stones of your choice; in this case, we chose Hematite 8 mm. This prevents the clasp and stones from slipping out when loosening or adjusting the bracelet. You are not required to add stones, but you must ensure the cord is secured to prevent it from slipping out, which can be done with a simple knot.

How to Choose a Shamballa Bracelet for Your Zodiac Sign?

When choosing an amulet, the main aspect is the combination of stones and colors suitable for the meaning. Astrologers recommend choosing stones carefully because the date of birth and the position of the stars determine a person’s health and destiny.

For ARIES, suitable colors are green or soft yellow, with malachite or diamond stones.

TAURUS can choose a yellow-green amulet with sapphire or turquoise.

GEMINI stones include agate, chrysoprase, and garnet. Bracelet colors are gray, purple, or bright yellow.

Amulets for CANCER should have white or blue, with ruby, amber, or emerald beads.

LEO should choose colors like red, black, magenta, orange, or ash, with stones like onyx, chrysoprase, or ruby.

VIRGO will harmonize with an amulet in blue, purple, white, or green, including stones like jasper, carnelian, malachite, or marble.

LIBRA’s bracelet can be green, dark blue, sea wave, or pastel tones, with diamonds, corals, or sapphires.

SAGITTARIUS will match a purple or blue amulet with topaz, emeralds, or amethyst.

Stones for CAPRICORN include onyx, moonstone, and lapis lazuli. Colors are gray, black, dark green, deep blue, or ochre.

How to Wear a Shamballa Bracelet?

The amulet should be worn on the right wrist. Wearing more than three bracelets at a time is not recommended. Remove at night to allow emotions accumulated during the day to reset. To cleanse the stones’ energy, hold the talisman under running water every two weeks.
