Bamboo Meaning
♥ Strength ♥ Flexibility ♥ Growth ♥ Enlightenment ♥ Luck ♥ Wealth ♥
- Bamboo has deep spiritual and symbolic meaning, especially in Eastern cultures. People view bamboo as a symbol of strength, flexibility, and growth.
- Many people associate bamboo with enlightenment. Bamboo are very strong despite being hollow from the inside. The real path to enlightenment is to learn to let things go. You should be hollow on the inside and not feel an attachment to material things. Once you do that, only then you can enter a dimension that is greater than this world you see.
- In Japan and China, people give bamboo as gifts. It is believed that bamboo brings luck and wealth to the home.
- Bamboo brings good luck to your house and workspace. It is always good to plant small bamboo trees around your house and office. Not only do they keep the environment alive, but they also absorb negative energy around you.

Red String
♥ Protection ♥ Luck ♥ Faith ♥ Strength ♥ Connection ♥
In lineages of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, tying a cord or string around the wrist is common during ceremonies. Traditionally, the Lama blesses the string and then ties a knot and imbues it with a mantra. Similar to other traditions, it's said that these red cords bring luck and offer protection. In ancient Chinese legend, the Red Thread of Fate is - invisible and ties all those whose lives will intertwine together. It is governed by the Chinese God of marriage, Yue Lao, as it's primarily associated with the link between two people destined to be married. Throughout history and across philosophies, the red string has been worn for protection, faith, good luck, strength, and connection.
Today many people use it as a reminder that they're not alone. It's also a symbol of being loved, supported and, feeling safe and secure. For others, it's a prompt to stay positive while facing any adversity.
