Sixteen beads

We use 16 beads for our strands of gratitude beads. Why? To really count our blessings, one by one. The proportion 10:16 can be found in holy geometry. The Roman architect Vitruvius, an inspiration to Leonardo da Vinci, also recognised that 10 and 6 (=16) are both numbers to reflect the human proportion. It is also linked to pi and the golden ratio.
In the pyramids of Gizeh, the Chartres Cathedral and other 'wisdom' buildings this ratio can be found. This ratio calls upon our sense of beauty.
When combining 16 similar forms (such as in our strands) it will have healing energy. The forms themselves, the material they are made of and the pendant will also carry their own energy. And of course the intentions, both of the people who made the gratitude strand and of the person using it. Want to try one for yourself? Please have a look in our web store . We can send the strands around the world (up to now we covered Canada, Australia and several European countries) and have an English information booklet. If the information in the web store (in Dutch) is difficult to understand please contact us in English and we will work things out.
