As per the ancient Vedic scriptures, Shiva awakened from a state of deep meditation after a thousand years, and a teardrop fell to the ground upon opening his eyes. This teardrop was enveloped by Mother Earth which gave birth to the seeds growing Rudraksha trees. The Rudraksha seed is known to hold the key to the secrets of the evolution of the cosmos.
You must have seen images of Lord Shiva wearing Rudraksha beads on his arms, heads, and hands, leading to the religious, spiritual, and physical significance of Rudraksha. It is often used for chanting sacred mantras as Rudraksha is believed to form a protective shield from various negative influences. Rudraksha is also known to carry healing powers that can cure various mental diseases and alleviate stress.
People swear by Rudraksha to attain their life goals and overcome various obstacles. It is known to bestow happiness and peace, which is why spiritually inclined people wear Rudraksha to enhance their spiritual growth. Rudraksha is naturally grown and handpicked. They are believed to serve as a bond of connection between nature, lord shiva, and humans. Being an energy-dwelling natural thing, Rudraksha holds electromagnetic vibrations and energy, which imbibe with a human’s emotions and actions.
Since Rudraksha serves as a treasure trove of untamed energy, the wearer is required to pacify and vibe with it for the best results. For synchronizing a Rudraksha, it is necessary to energize the same. Each kind of consecrated Rudraksha carries a specific type of energy, and you need to energize the Rudraksha before wearing them. Everyone doesn’t know about the process of energizing Rudraksha. This process requires a high concentration level, and today we will explain it thoroughly.
