Worry beads/Stress beads/Chakra beads/Meditation beads/Twiddle beads

Worry beads or kombolói are a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time, originating in Greek and Cypriot culture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose.
They help to relieve stress and reduce worry as you concentrate on twiddling the beads, which distracts the mind. Also useful as a meditation aid, especially the Chakra styles.  They are also used by people who wish to limit smoking and are recognised as a good sensory aid for people diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.
 
My worry beads are made from real leather*, strung with 11 or 15 beads (depending upon style chosen) and a natural wooden 3cm circular ball for the main bead (the shield).
Comes with a carry pouch so you can always have them with you. This will be randomly light blue or oatmeal as shown in product images.  If you prefer to choose, please add a note to your order or email me after placing it as to which of the two you would like. 
 
* With the exception of the glass chakra and Buddha beads one which uses nylon cord as the bead holes are too fine for leather.
