If You See Someone With A Red String On Their Wrist, Here’s What It Means

Why the left hand and not the right?

It is believed that the  left hand is the one that “receives” , that is to say, it is the most exposed to the  surrounding negative energies  . Tying a red thread to this wrist will create a  protective barrier  against these harmful influences.

However, some people prefer to wear it  on the right hand,  but for a different reason: to attract  prosperity,  success   and  well- being .  Unlike the protection offered by the left hand, the right hand symbolizes  action  and openness to  new positive opportunities.

The meaning of the color red

But why is this bracelet  always red  ? This color is not chosen at random. Red is associated with  powerful symbols  such as energy, life force and  spiritual protection.  According to beliefs, it also helps to  ward off dark thoughts,  strengthen  self-confidence  and dispel bad intentions from others.

In the Kabbalah tradition, the red thread is sometimes called  the “Jerusalem thread”  because it is customary to tie it after being  blessed in holy places,  especially in Jerusalem. It was once common to tie a red thread on the wrist of  newborns  to protect them from  evil spirits  and negative influences from the moment they were born.
