Clean Air is a handcrafted set of comfort beads that I designed to enhance stress-free quitting smoking or other things that have been keeping you from breathing deeply. You can run your fingers over them any time you are feeling a need to de-stress from quitting smoking or other habits. Although some call them worry beads, they are also called fidget beads, or when used for spiritual ends, meditation beads or prayer beads. I call them comfort beads because they can bring comfort to anyone made unsettled or uncomfortable by quitting smoking and the like. They are easy to carry in a pocket or pouch, and can help you relax and more easily quit smoking than you thought possible. The beads are a great something to do with your hands while you're quitting!

Beads in this set of comfort beads are amethyst, citrine, fluorite, calcite, hematite, amber, lepidolite, and .925 sterling silver. They are hand strung on nylon-coasted, braided staineless steel for strength, and are roughly 7 inches long. This set is designed to run the fingers over it, the beads themselves do not move. Each set is handmade in the studio from quality materials, and comes in a white gift box lined with cotton.

Clean Air Beads are also available as a bracelet so you can wear your Comfort Beads! Just select the bracelet option here. See an example of Comfort Beads Bracelets. Bracelets are available in 6 inch, 7 inch, and 8 inch sizes, but If you need a different size, choose the nearest size and let me know the actual size needed in the comments area when you check out.

Amethyst is traditionally said to help with addictions recovery, so it is energetically very helpful for quitting smoking. Citrine lore purports that it remove toxins, such as nicotine. Fluorite is used mystically for both handling stress and purification. Hematite is also good for reducing stress via metaphysical energies. Calcite is another stone that is said to help with purification. Lepidolite is a very calming stone, and schorl (black tourmaline) is helpful for removing negative energies, according to mystical lore. And if you have no belief or use for the metaphysical stuff, the beads are a great something to do with your hands while you're quitting!

In alignment with the properties of the stones, these beads are crafted with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with quitting smoking with less stress and more aplomb than they believed possible.

Amethyst has long been called the "sobriety stone." In ancient Rome, crushed amethyst was added to wine cups to prevent drunkenness. It is said to assist with healing alcoholism, compulsive behaviors, and addictions of all kinds. Amethyst brings energies of stability, peace, calm, balance, courage and inner strength. It has been used to protect against psychic attacks. On the spiritual level, amethyst can help open to communication with angels, telepathy and other psychic abilities. It is an excellent stone for meditation or dream work, past life work, and can help you see your path. It has also been used to help ease the pain of grief, and promote happiness. Amethyst is reputed to be beneficial when dealing with legal problems, and money issues, which can lead to prosperity and abundance. Amethyst is also used as protection for travelers. Physically amethyst is said by spiritual healers and mystical lore to heal the withdrawal symptoms of any sort of addiction, help with headaches, insomnia, arthritis, pain relief, circulatory system issues, endocrine system problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, immune system deficiencies, and general healing.

Black tourmaline is also used for repelling and protecting one from black magick, and is often said to return the negative spell to the sender. Some claim that black tourmaline deflects all kinds of energy, but my personal experience is that it's not so. It is possible that the black tourmaline's effect of grounding excess energy gives this impression. Black tourmaline has also been used to deflect radiation energy from tv's and computer monitors. Emotionally, black tourmaline is excellent for dispelling fears, obsessions, and neuroses, bringing emotional stability.
