The smooth, comforting feeling of wood beads on this necklace are meant to help us move through distractions, but the outline offered in the brochure is merely a suggestion. Bless you if it helps, but please do make this necklace your own and use it however it best serves your conversations with our Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
