Be Here Be Now

At ZenMinds Jewelry, we believe jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a bridge between the outer world and your inner peace. Born from the fusion of ancient Zen wisdom and modern psychology, our creations are designed to remind you to “Be Here, Be Now”—a mantra that anchors you in the present moment, away from the chaos of daily life.

Who We Are

I’m a Master’s graduate in Applied Psychology from Shaanxi Normal University, with a deep passion for traditional Chinese culture. In today’s fast-paced world, we’re constantly bombarded with information—tweets, notifications, emails, you name it. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise and lose touch with the present moment, and even with ourselves.

On a visit to Hanshan Temple in Suzhou—a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple—I bought a Pixiu bracelet. The Pixiu, a mythical Chinese creature, symbolizes wealth and spiritual protection. I’ve kept this bracelet with me ever since. Whenever life gets overwhelming, or I feel lost, just holding it brings me back to that quiet afternoon in the temple’s peaceful courtyards. It reminds me to pause and find my center.

As mindfulness practices become more popular in therapy, focusing on being present and observing our thoughts without judgment, I realized that objects like this bracelet can help us with that process. They’re not just things; they can be tools for reflection and connection. This sparked the idea to create this platform—a place where psychological science meets traditional Chinese wisdom.

Our jewelry is designed to be more than just decorative. Each piece is meant to: Create small moments of mindfulness through tactile touch
Represent key psychological concepts using ancient Chinese symbols
Help shift our perspective with culturally rich symbolism
If any of these pieces can offer you a moment of calm or bring clarity amidst life’s chaos, then I’ll consider my mission complete.
