Bodhi seed keychain

The bodhi tree (Ficus Reiligiosa) is the tree under which Prince Siddharta is said to have received enlightenment and became the Buddha. As such, the tree and its seeds are since considered sacred in many regions.  

The seeds of the tree are very helpful in many spiritual practices, since they support in finding inner peace, by enhancing awareness and connection and understanding the true nature of things. They are a symbol of purity of mind, pure faith and enlightenment.  

Also, bodhi seeds represent a new beginning, reveal ones possible potentials and support in growing them closer to perfection. Therefore they are also very suitable to keep close to you when starting something new, whether that’s a new business, study or relationship.

The big bodhi seeds used in this keychains come from Nepal. Bodhi seeds from Nepal are considered of higher value because of the ‘eyes’ they show. These eyes are said to represent the eyes of the Buddha himself.

Having a bodhi keychain with you all day, you will find it’s not just a practical keychain, but a constant reminder and strong supporter of the path you are on. As such of course there’s even no need to hang your keys on it; just keeping it with you in your pocket to hold in your hand and follow the natural veins with your fingers during moments of meditation or contemplation is also a great use of such a big bodhi seed.

Being all natural items, the seeds of course may vary in size and shape. The size of the bodhi seed is approximately 4,5 cm. These keychains come to us via our friends at Shaman Bazar. They are sold per piece.
