A specially consecrated thread, which, when tied around one’s wrist, is supportive in fulfilling one’s ambitions and removing fear.
Women wear it on the left wrist, men on the right. It must be worn for a minimum of 40 days. It can be removed by untying or burning it (please do not cut it) and disposed of either by burying it in wet soil, or burning it and applying the ashes from your vishuddhi (chakra or energy center located at the pit of the throat) down to the anahata (chakra in the heart region).
