- Step 1: Decide where you want to wear your waistbeads
Waistline: Measure at the waist (naval area). Some choose to use this placement for weight control, while training the stomach. Beads will slide down during weight loss, and roll up when weight is gained.
Hip area: Traditionally beads are worn right above the hip area. where the beads can rest under your clothes.
- Step 2: Measure your chosen body area, hips or waist,or somewhere in between.
- Step 3: Make sure the waistbeads have the same lenght measurements by carefully taking some beads out
- Step 4: Put the waistbeads around your waist, check if the waistbeads lay comfortable with a little wiggle room. If so, make a double knot
- Step 5: Cut the excess rope, not to close to the knot. In time the excess rope will automatically curl up.
- Step 6: Enjoy your waistbeads! We hope it connects you to your divine self.
