It is said that a red bracelet on the left wrist eliminates bad energy and also the envy that some people have of us. They are placed on the left hand as it is believed to be the side of the body that is most connected to the soul. By putting on this bracelet we will also receive good and protective vibes that will make us feel positive.
History
In Kabbalah, along with the mystical teachings of Judaism, reference is made to Rachel, Jacob’s wife, who after dying in childbirth, giving birth to her second child, is buried in Israel between Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Tradition says that by wrapping a red thread around her grave seven times, it is possible to receive positive influences.
Raquel is the personification of the physical world, an example of extreme sacrifice in the act of protecting her own offspring from every evil. From that legend, the custom of making bracelets of the same color was borrowed, the color that symbolizes the danger signal, decorated with seven knots, which coincide with the mystical dimensions with which one can come into contact.
The bracelet is placed on the left wrist because this is the side where the soul attracts vital energy and should also be linked by someone who shows true and sincere affection for the recipient.
Many have no idea of all these hidden implications and simply wear the accessory simply because they have seen it on others. The powerful amulet serves to discharge negativity and attract good energies, even its operation depends above all on true belief and also on one’s own emotional state. To be more effective it is necessary to keep a pure mind and heart, devoid of anger, resentment or desire for revenge. Cultivating thoughts of generosity and understanding towards others allows the bracelet to act in the way it is conceived, warding off evil and guiding on a path of peace and light.

The ankle is the place chosen by some mothers to place them on babies or children, to avoid discomfort in their restless hands.
How to wear a red bracelet?
Ask someone you love (it could be a family member) to tie the red thread or cord on your left wrist. First of all, we need to tie the bracelet tightly around your wrist with a simple knot. Then ask this person to tie the rope six more times for a total of seven knots.
Now make a promise to yourself but refrain from wishing or sending negative thoughts about others. This harmful behavior can interfere with your effort to get a successful result with your bracelet.
Benefits of its use
It will guarantee the right balance of your positive and negative energies in your body as well as good protection against the evil eye. Along with other qualities, this bracelet will help you keep your energies balanced as well as keep your aura clean.
