How to Set Intentions with Waist Beads: A Guide to Purpose

At Made By Venus, we believe that waist beads are more than just jewelry—they are a powerful tool for self-expression, empowerment, and intention-setting. Whether you’re looking to manifest love, confidence, healing, or self-acceptance, waist beads can help you focus on your intentions and carry them with you throughout your daily life.

Setting intentions is a beautiful practice that allows you to align your thoughts, emotions, and actions with your goals. It’s about consciously deciding what you want to attract into your life, and using tangible reminders—like waist beads—to stay grounded in those desires. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through how to set intentions with your waist beads so that they serve as a meaningful tool for personal growth and manifestation.

A full categorized list of intentions and their affirmations will be listed at the end of this article.

What Does It Mean to Set an Intention?

Setting an intention is like planting a seed. It’s a purposeful decision to focus your energy on a specific goal, emotion, or transformation. Unlike resolutions, which are often about achieving a tangible outcome, intentions are about aligning your mindset and energy with your deeper desires. Intentions can range from self-love and confidence to health, abundance, and peace.

When paired with waist beads, your intentions become physical reminders of your journey. Every time you feel or see the beads, you’re reminded of the purpose you’ve set for yourself. Waist beads are worn close to the body, making them intimate symbols of the intentions you carry within.

How to Set Your Intentions with Waist Beads

1. Reflect on What You Want to Manifest

Before choosing your waist beads, take some time to reflect on what you want to invite into your life. Ask yourself:

What do I want to focus on?
What areas of my life need healing, love, or growth?
What energy or mindset do I want to embody?

Your answers will guide you toward the right intention. For example, if you’re seeking self-love, your intention might be to embrace your body and spirit fully. If you’re manifesting abundance, your intention could be to open yourself to opportunities and prosperity.

2. Choose Waist Beads That Reflect Your Intention

Once you’ve set your intention, it’s time to choose the waist beads that align with your goal. At Made By Venus, we offer a variety of colors and designs, each with its own meaning and energy. Here’s how certain colors and styles can reflect different intentions:

Green & Brown Waist Beads (like our "Earth's Gift"): Perfect for grounding, growth, and connection with nature.
Clear & White Waist Beads (like our "New Beginnings"): Ideal for purity, clarity, and fresh starts.
Red & Black Waist Beads (like our "Wilted Rose"): Great for protection, passion, and inner strength.
Gold or Cream Waist Beads (like our "Leche" and "Honey"): Associated with abundance, confidence, and success.

As you choose your waist beads, think about how the colors, textures, and even the way they feel resonate with your intention. Let your intuition guide you toward the beads that feel right.

3. Cleanse and Charge Your Waist Beads

Before wearing your waist beads, it’s important to cleanse them of any previous energies and charge them with your intention. You can cleanse your waist beads using natural elements like:

Water: Rinse them in saltwater or moon water to clear away any lingering energy.
Sage or Palo Santo: Pass the beads through the smoke to purify them.
Sunlight or Moonlight: Leave the beads under the sun or moon to charge them with positive energy.

As you cleanse your beads, hold them in your hands and think about your intention. Imagine your waist beads absorbing that energy, becoming a vessel for your purpose.

4. Meditate and Set Your Intention

Once your waist beads are cleansed and charged, take a few moments to sit in stillness and meditate on your intention. Hold your waist beads in your hands, close your eyes, and visualize the outcome or energy you want to manifest. As you do this, say your intention out loud or silently in your mind. For example:

“I intend to love and accept myself fully.”
“I open myself to abundance and prosperity.”
“I release fear and embrace confidence.”

Feel the weight of your waist beads in your hands and imagine them absorbing your intention. As you place the beads around your waist, breathe deeply and envision your goal becoming a reality.

5. Wear Your Waist Beads with Purpose

After setting your intention, wear your waist beads as a reminder of your purpose. Every time you touch or adjust them, take a moment to reconnect with your intention. Wearing waist beads allows you to carry your intention with you throughout the day, serving as a constant reminder of the energy you want to embody.

Whenever you feel off track, overwhelmed, or uncertain, simply touch your waist beads and reaffirm your intention. The physical presence of the beads will help you refocus and stay grounded in your goal.

Why Waist Beads Are Powerful Tools for Intention-Setting

Waist beads are not just decorative—they are deeply symbolic. Worn close to the body, they become part of your daily experience, connecting you with your inner self.
