intention setting is the process of speaking your purpose for your waist beads aloud or to yourself while tying your waist beads or before wearing. intentions can include weight management, confidence, healing, and so much more. waist beads serve as a constant reminder of the intentions you set for yourself. they hold you accountable and can be a powerful tool for healing and growth.
this process of intention-setting is recommended to be done with non-stretch waist beads so that as you are tying them, you are able to speak your intentions with each tie and close of the knot.
intentions can also be set with stretch beads by holding them in your hand and massaging the beads between your finger tips while repeating your affirmation (just an example but you can set intentions however you'd like).
we do not suggest that the practice of wearing waist beads is a religious one or that our waist beads hold any sort of energies within them. we do believe that waist beads can be used as a tool once assigned a purpose by the wearer, if you choose to do so. waist beads can also be worn as jewelry with the main purpose being the aesthetics.
