After the chaos and misfortunes that 2020 dealt, we could all use a little luck and encouragement in 2021. Last year, we experienced a global pandemic. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn experienced lengthy retrogrades. We had a rare full blue moon on Halloween. Political uncertainty and disruption were a theme for most of the year.

Now, most people are yearning for a fresh start. If you’ve ever been determined to make a year your year, it’s 2021. These five trinkets and talisman will help you keep good vibes only so you can protect your energy, enhance your luck, and take control of your fate.

1. Feng Shui Black Obsidian Wealth Bracelet

Elements: Pi Xiu, Black Obsidian, Wealth Mantra

Black as night, obsidian (also known as volcanic glass) is thought to channel your inner strength and clarifies your intuition. This sleek natural stone lifts the foggy veil clouding up your aura so you can gain confidence and peace of mind when making important decisions.

This is a big part of the reason why obsidian is commonly associated with wealth goals. When you are considering big career changes, pursuing higher education, or making new investments, obsidian can help to protect your soul and improve your inner vision so that decisions can be made with eyes wide open.

If self-improvement is your goal this year, obsidian is a powerful tool to have on your side. It is believed to deflect negative traits like anger, fear, addiction, and anxiety so that you can maintain feelings of goodness and well being.

This Feng Shui Black Obsidian Wealth Bracelet also features Pi Xiu, an ancient Chinese talisman associated with bringing wealth into the home and not allowing it to leave. Much like obsidian protects your inner positivity, Pi Xiu protects your wealth and fortune against evil forces.

2. Tibetan Copper Beads Bracelet

Elements: Positivity, Healing, Spiritual Energy

Copper has always been seen as a symbol of strength and confidence. In Indian lore, Copper is believed to contain spiritual powers that deflects evil energies that are out to steal your wealth, luck, and peace of mind. It’s also associated with health benefits, healing properties, and spiritual aptitude.

Wearing a copper bracelet, like our Tibetan Copper Beads Bracelet, presents a number of unique protections and utilities. For starters, copper contains anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to improve digestion, movement, hormone function, and the immune system. Copper may also help to combat the effects of stress, as well as slow down the aging process by destroying free radicals and prompting collagen production in the body.

On the spiritual spectrum, copper is a natural conductor of energy. This is why it’s believed to also heighten spiritual energy and connect the physical world with the spiritual plane. Many feel it cleanses their negativity so that positive vibes can thrive, which in turn boosts self esteem and attracts luck and good fortune.

3. Mythical Pixiu Ring

Elements: Pi Xiu, Creativity Mantra, Feng Shui

Pi Xiu is an ancient mythical creature consisting of the head of a dragon, the horn of a deer, the body of a horse, and the foot of a Qilin (another mythical hooved creature in Chinese culture). Legend has it that Pi Xiu only eats fine silver, gold, and riches. When the Jade Emperor sealed its anus, the wealth accumulated in its belly, never to come out. This is why the Pi Xiu is so commonly associated with permanent splendor.

Similar to the Feng Shui Black Obsidian Wealth Bracelet, our Mythical Pi Xiu Ring features a prominent Pi Xiu figure on its outer layer designed as an attractive contrast to the S925 silver ring. Pi Xiu is a favorite among gamblers and businessmen to protect and enhance wealth, and even bring unexpected windfalls of riches and luck.

According to Feng Shui basics, acquiring a Pi Xiu helps you attract and maintain wealth like a magnet. Many purchase a Pi Xiu ring to leave in their homes and serve as a guardian so that wealth and positivity never leave and evil can never enter.

4. Tibetan Mantra Lucky Charm

Elements: Creativity mantra, karma, red string

Intricate and beautiful, wearing a Tibetan Mantra Lucky Charm bracelet helps you effortlessly boost your luck. Adding function to its beauty, our adjustable red string bracelet features the famous six syllable Tibetan mantra (also called the Six True Words) inscribed on a gold pendant. This mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, uses words and vibrations that are believed connect you with the universe itself. 

Om is a popular vibration to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit of impurities (commonly used in yoga practices).

Ma Ni literally translates into the jewel. Its deeper meaning relates to love and compassion, and the never-ending journey toward enlightenment.

Pad Me refers to the lotus flower and represents wisdom.

Hum not only refers to the action, but also the idea of unity. For example, when you’re humming a tune, it can sound like one ongoing song with no breaks.

Together, Om Mani Padme Hum is a cleansing mantra that may help to unleash creativity and heighten spirituality.

5. White Jade Auspicious Necklace

Elements: White jade, copper, healing

White is the symbol of purity and innocence, representing the fresh start that a new year promises us. It represents light and brilliance, which offers feelings of power, confidence, and positivity.

When combined with the natural properties of jade, White Jade becomes a source of healing and nurturing. It’s believed to have a positive effect on love and relationships, increased health, and heightened spiritual awareness.

Many choose to wear this White Jade Auspicious Necklace as a badge of honor when they are trying to heal from past traumas and let go of ill feelings toward others. It supposedly does this by connecting you to your inner self and creating a greater sense of awareness regarding your emotions and higher purpose.
