Ever since that unforgettable experience in 2019, my life has been inextricably linked to a Prunus persica bracelet. It was an ordinary night that turned into an unforgettable one due to a terrifying encounter in the hospital. That night, I witnessed the fragility of life and experienced a type of fear that is unspeakable.
The Hospital’s Terrifying Night
It was July 15th, the Ghost Festival, and also my birthday. On such a traditionally charged day, I was hospitalized due to health issues. In the deep silence of the night, I was awakened by an inexplicable noise, followed by an experience of what is known as a “ghost pressing on me.” I could clearly hear the whispers of people around me but was unable to move. Even more chilling was the sensation of a deceased elder hovering above my head, their words unintelligible to me, yet their voice pierced my nerves like a sharp blade.
This experience left a deep shadow on me, and for a long time, I was unable to sleep peacefully, plagued by nightmares. It wasn’t until one day when I visited Hanshan Temple that I found a sense of solace. The tranquility and harmony of the temple brought me a glimmer of comfort. In the temple’s small shop, I purchased a Prunus persica bracelet. Its texture was warm, and its color deep, as if possessing a mysterious power.
The Protection of the Prunus Persica Bracelet
The moment I put on the Prunus persica bracelet, I felt a warm current flow into my heart. Its color has grown darker over time, just like its increasingly important role in my life. Whenever I feel uneasy or need to go to the hospital, I wear it, and its presence always brings me psychological comfort.
Prunus persica has always been considered a sacred object against evil in traditional culture, with its abundant yang energy capable of dispelling negative and evil energies. I gradually realized that I am not alone in seeking such psychological comfort when facing the uncertainties and fears of life. The bracelet is not just an object; it has become a guardian of my soul, a barrier between me and the chaotic world.
The Prunus Persica Bracelet and Psychological Comfort
As time passed, I began to understand that the Prunus persica bracelet brings me comfort not only because of its traditional significance but also because of the special connection it has established with me. Its darkening color seems to record each of my fears and each overcoming of them. Every time I touch it, I feel a strength, a strength that allows me to face life bravely.
I also began to realize that when our bodies are weak, we are more susceptible to external influences. The Prunus persica bracelet, along with other similar talismans, exists not only as a belief but as a psychological support. They remind us that no matter how the outside world changes, our inner selves can maintain a sense of peace and determination.
Conclusion
Now, although I no longer have nightmares as frequently as before, and I am no longer as easily frightened, that Prunus persica bracelet is still an indispensable part of my life. It is not only my amulet against fear but also a companion to my soul, witnessing every step I have taken to emerge stronger from fear. The Prunus persica bracelet, to me, is no longer just a symbol of warding off evil; it is a testament to life, an embodiment of courage, and my eternal guardian.
